摘要:

在爆发后期(2012年9月和12月),使用钱德拉X射线光栅对V959 Mon进行了两次观测,为这颗银河系ONE新星的物理和化学提供了非凡的见解。两个时期的X射线通量分别为1.7 × 10(-11)erg/cm(2)/s和8.6 × 10(-12)erg/cm(2)/s。第一个结果,加上电子密度诊断,并与已发表的光学和紫外线观测结果进行比较,表明2012年9月的X射线很可能来自非常小的一部分喷出物,集中在非常密集的团块中。我们得到了一个相当好的拟合九月光谱与碰撞电离平衡(CIE)的等离子体模型有两个组件;一个在0.78千电子伏的温度,蓝移710-930公里/秒,其他在4.5千电子伏的温度,主要是贡献于高能量连续。然而,我们不能排除在这两个极端之间的等离子体温度范围。12月,中央的白矮星(WD)在X射线中变得可见。我们估计有效温度约为680,000 K,与WD质量约1.1 M(溶胶)一致。WD通量与轨道周期调制,表明高倾角,和两个准周期调制小时的时间尺度也被观察到。在12月没有观察到温度高于0.5keV的热等离子体成分,蓝移成分冷却到kT~ 0.45keV。此外,由于更冷的等离子体出现了新的发射线,这在两个月前没有观察到。我们估计的丰度和产量的元素在新星风中,不能在光谱测量,并确认高氖丰度以前得出的这颗新星。我们还发现了高丰度的Al,是太阳值的230倍,这与ONe新星至少贡献了银河系Al产量的1/3的预测一致(26)。

英文摘要:

Two observations of V959 Mon, done using the Chandra X-ray gratings during the late outburst phases (2012 September and December), offer extraordinary insight into the physics and chemistry of this Galactic ONe nova. the X-ray flux was 1.7 x 10(-11) erg/cm(2)/s and 8.6 x 10(-12) erg/cm(2)/s, respectively at the two epochs. The first result, coupled with electron density diagnostics and compared with published optical and ultraviolet observations, indicates that most likely in 2012 September the X-rays originate from a very small fraction of the ejecta, concentrated in very dense clumps. We obtained a fairly good fit to the September spectrum with a model of plasma in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) with two components; one at a temperature of 0.78 keV, blueshifted by 710-930 km/s, the other at a temperature of 4.5 keV, mostly contributing to the high-energy continuum. However, we cannot rule out a range of plasma temperatures between these two extremes. In December, the central white dwarf (WD) became visible in X-rays. We estimate an effective temperature of about 680,000 K, consistent with a WD mass ~1.1 M(sol). The WD flux is modulated with the orbital period, indicating high inclination, and two quasi-periodic modulations with hour timescales were also observed. No hot plasma component with temperature above 0.5 keV was observed in December, and the blue-shifted component cooled to kT~0.45 keV. Additionally, new emission lines due to a much cooler plasma appeared, which were not observed two months earlier. We estimate abundances and yields of elements in the nova wind that cannot be measured in the optical spectra and confirm the high Ne abundance previously derived for this nova. We also find high abundance of Al, 230 times the solar value, consistently with the prediction that ONe novae contribute to at least 1/3rd of the Galactic yield of Al(26).
