在$ε$ Lupi系统的两个B型分量中磁场的探测:对化石场起源的新约束?

Detection of magnetic fields in both B-type components of the $ε$ Lupi system: a new constraint on the origin of fossil fields?

M. Shultz, G. A. Wade, E. Alecian, the BinaMIcS Collaboration

摘要:

在BinaMIcS大型计划的背景下,用ESPaDOnS获得的高分辨率圆偏振光谱观测揭示了SB 2双星系统$ε$ Lupi(B2/B3)的B3 V次级分量中的磁场。由于B2 V初级是已知的磁性,这是第一次在早期类型的二元系统的两个组件中检测到磁场。初级线圈的纵向磁场为$\sim -200$ G;次级线圈的纵向磁场为$\sim +100$ G。观测结果可以通过一个模型近似重现,假设两颗恒星的磁轴是反对齐的,并且大致平行于它们各自的旋转轴。估计的磁层半径表明,它们的磁层相互作用的可能性很高。由于化石磁场的不同形成方案的许多论点依赖于从密近双星的调查中得出的证据,特别是在密近双星中磁性ABO星的罕见性和以前没有任何已知的密近双星与两个磁性,大质量的恒星,这一发现可能是一个重要的新的约束化石磁场的起源。

英文摘要:

High-resolution circular spectropolarimetric observations, obtained with ESPaDOnS in the context of the BinaMIcS Large Program, have revealed a magnetic field in the B3V secondary component of the SB2 binary system $ε$ Lupi (B2/B3). As the B2V primary is already known to be magnetic, this is the first detection of a magnetic field in both components of an early-type binary system. The longitudinal magnetic field of the primary is $\sim -200$ G; that of the secondary $\sim +100$ G. Observations can be approximately reproduced by a model assuming the magnetic axes of the two stars are anti-aligned, and roughly parallel to their respective rotation axes. Estimated magnetospheric radii indicate a high probability that their magnetospheres are interacting. As many of the arguments for the different proposed formation scenarios of fossil magnetic fields rely upon evidence drawn from investigations of close binaries, in particular the rarity of magnetic ABO stars in close binaries and the previous absence of any known close binary with two magnetic, massive stars, this discovery may be an important new constraint on the origin of fossil magnetic fields.
