摘要:

在经历了大约十年的长期沉寂之后,作为EXor变星中最具代表性的成员之一,V1118 Ori源现在正在爆发。自2015年9月22日记录的约1 mag(JHK波段)的近红外通量最初增加以来,源亮度一直保持相当稳定。我们估计DeltaV约3等相对于静止阶段。一个光学/近红外低分辨率光谱已获得与大型双目望远镜仪器MODS和LUCI 2,并与类似的光谱分辨率和灵敏度水平的光谱在静止期间采取的。随着连续谱的增强,爆发光谱呈现出数量明显增加的发射谱线,特别是巴尔末、帕邢和布拉开系的HI复合谱线,以及几种明亮的允许谱线、禁戒原子谱线和CO振转谱线。相对于静止期,质量吸积和质量损失速率都显著增加(增加了大约一个数量级,质量吸积速率= 1.2-4.8 × 10^-8 M_sun/yr,质量损失速率= 0.8-2 × 10^-9 M_sun/yr)。如果与以前的爆发相比,现在的爆发似乎没有那么有活力。或者,它可能已经处于衰落阶段(当光源不可见时达到最大亮度水平),或者,反之亦然,仍然处于上升阶段。

英文摘要:

After a long-lasting period of quiescence of about a decade, the source V1118 Ori, one of the most representative members of the EXor variables, is now outbursting. Since the initial increase of the near-infrared flux of about 1 mag (JHK bands) registered on 2015 September 22, the source brightness has remained fairly stable. We estimate DeltaV about 3 mag with respect to the quiescence phase. An optical/near-IR low-resolution spectrum has been obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope instruments MODS and LUCI2, and compared with a spectrum of similar spectral resolution and sensitivity level taken during quiescence. Together with the enhancement of the continuum, the outburst spectrum presents a definitely higher number of emission lines, in particular HI recombination lines of the Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett series, along with bright permitted lines of several species, forbidden atomic lines, and CO ro-vibrational lines. Both mass accretion and mass loss rates have significantly increased (by to about an order of magnitude, mass accretion rate = 1.2-4.8 10^-8 M_sun/yr, mass loss rate = 0.8-2 10^-9 M_sun/yr) with respect to the quiescence phase. If compared with previous outbursts, the present one appears less energetic. Alternatively, it could already be in the fading phase (with the maximum brightness level reached when the source was not visible), or, viceversa, still in the rising phase.
