摘要:

白矮星(WD)周围的气体和尘埃碎片盘是由潮汐破裂的行星体形成的。这提供了一个机会,以确定外行星材料的组成,通过测量元素丰度在吸积WD的大气。一个更直接的方法是通过对磁盘本身的光谱分析。目前,通过圆盘发射线检测到的化学元素的数量小于通过WD大气中的线检测到的物种。我们评估了一个经过充分研究的天体(SDSS J122859.93+104032.9)的远紫外(FUV)光谱,以寻找波长<1050埃的圆盘特征,其中莱曼系的宽吸收线有效地阻挡了WD光球通量。我们用哈勃太空望远镜/宇宙起源光谱仪进行了FUV观测(950-1240埃),并使用了存档的光谱。我们比较了它们与非局部热力学平衡模型谱。此外,我们调查的钙II红外三重线(IRT)线配置文件,以约束磁盘的几何形状和组成。在FUV光谱中没有检测到盘发射线,表明盘的有效温度约为5000 K。长时间的变化的钙II IRT再现与进动磁盘模型的散装地球一样的组合物,具有0.3g/cm 2的表面质量密度和从55到90 WD半径的扩展。该盘具有螺旋形状,以大约37年的周期进行旋进,证实了以前的结果。

英文摘要:

Gaseous and dust debris disks around white dwarfs (WDs) are formed from tidally disrupted planetary bodies. This offers an opportunity to determine the composition of exoplanetary material by measuring element abundances in the accreting WD's atmosphere. A more direct way to do this is through spectral analysis of the disks themselves. Currently, the number of chemical elements detected through disk emission-lines is smaller than that of species detected through lines in the WD atmospheres. We assess the far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectrum of one well-studied object (SDSS J122859.93+104032.9) to search for disk signatures at wavelengths <1050 angstrom, where the broad absorption lines of the Lyman series effectively block the WD photospheric flux. We performed FUV observations (950-1240 angstrom) with the Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and used archival optical spectra. We compared them with non-local thermodynamic equilibrium model spectra. In addition, we investigate the Ca II infrared triplet (IRT) line profiles to constrain disk geometry and composition. No disk emission-lines were detected in the FUV spectrum, indicating that the disk effective temperature is about 5000K. The long-time variability of the Ca II IRT was reproduced with a precessing disk model of bulk Earth-like composition, having a surface mass density of 0.3g/cm2 and an extension from 55 to 90 WD radii. The disk has a spiral shape that precesses with a period of approximately 37 years, confirming previous results.
