摘要:

Nova SMC 2016是麦哲伦星云方向已知最明亮的新星。在光学极大值之后的第16天到第28天之间,它变成了一个非常明亮的超软X射线源。我们在2016年11月和2017年1月(光学最大值后的第39天和第88天)使用Chandra,HRC-S相机和低能透射光栅(LETG)观察到它,并在2016年12月(第75天)使用XMM-牛顿。我们检测到紧凑的白矮星(WD)光谱作为一个发光的超软X射线连续与深吸收功能的碳,氮,镁,钙,可能氩和硫的第39天,氧,氮和碳的第75和88天。归因于WD大气的光谱特征都是蓝移的,在第39天约为1800 km/s,在接下来的观测中高达2100 km/s。还观察到了归因于星际介质中低电离势跃迁的谱线。假设小麦哲伦云的距离,热光度超过爱丁顿水平至少三个月。大气模型的初步分析表明,第39天的有效温度约为700,000 K,随后在850,000 - 900,000 K范围内达到峰值,正如1.25 m(溶胶)WD所预期的那样。我们建议一个可能的分类为氧氖WD,但需要更精确的建模,以准确地确定丰度。的X射线光变曲线显示大,非周期性的ux的变化,不与光谱的变化。我们检测到红噪声,但没有发现周期性或准周期性调制。

英文摘要:

Nova SMC 2016 has been the most luminous nova known in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds. It turned into a very luminous supersoft X-ray source between day 16 and 28 after the optical maximum. We observed it with Chandra, the HRC-S camera and the Low Energy Transmission Grating (LETG) on 2016 November and 2017 January (days 39 and 88 after optical maximum), and with XMM-Newton on 2016 December (day 75). We detected the compact white dwarf (WD) spectrum as a luminous supersoft X-ray continuum with deep absorption features of carbon, nitrogen, magnesium, calcium, probably argon and sulfur on day 39, and oxygen, nitrogen and carbon on days 75 and 88. The spectral features attributed to the WD atmosphere are all blue-shifted, by about 1800 km/s on day 39 and up to 2100 km/s in the following observations. Spectral lines attributed to low ionization potential transitions in the interstellar medium are also observed. Assuming the distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the bolometric luminosity exceeded Eddington level for at least three months. A preliminary analysis with atmospheric models indicates effective temperature around 700,000 K on day 39, peaking at the later dates in the 850,000-900,000 K range, as expected for a 1.25 m(sol) WD. We suggest a possible classification as an oxygen-neon WD, but more precise modeling is needed to accurately determine the abundances. The X-ray light curves show large, aperiodic ux variability, not associated with spectral variability. We detected red noise, but did not find periodic or quasi-periodic modulations.
