摘要:

阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)观测了渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星EP Aqr的星周包层的CO(1-0)和CO(2-1)排放,空间分辨率比以前提高了四倍。他们进行了分析,重点是在空间的有效发射率和通量的物质作为输入的规定配置的速度场,假设是径向的。数据被发现显示一个内在的轴对称相对于一个轴,使一个小角度的视线。广泛的风配置,从长(两极)到扁圆(赤道)已被研究,并发现伴随着显着的赤道排放。定性地说,有效发射率在赤道附近增强,以产生多普勒速度谱中观察到的中心窄分量,其对恒星纬度的依赖性通常遵循风速的依赖性,除了在两极附近无所不在的低压。特别是,大的赤道膨胀速度会产生一个有效辐射率和质量损失的张开盘或环。的径向速度梯度和可能的竞争在赤道盘的旋转和膨胀的恒星轴的方向的确定的影响进行了讨论。一般来说,物质的通量在距离恒星500 au的量级上达到最大值。参数给出,可用于更喜欢一个风速分布到另一个。由于数据质量的提高,对形态学和运动学的约束有了更深入的了解。

英文摘要:

Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array (ALMA) observations of the CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) emissions from the circumstellar envelope of the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star EP Aqr have been made with four times better spatial resolution than previously available. They are analysed with emphasis on the de-projection in space of the effective emissivity and flux of matter using as input a prescribed configuration of the velocity field, assumed to be radial. The data are found to display an intrinsic axi-symmetry with respect to an axis making a small angle with the line of sight. A broad range of wind configurations, from prolate (bipolar) to oblate (equatorial) has been studied and found to be accompanied by significant equatorial emission. Qualitatively, the effective emissivity is enhanced near the equator to produce the central narrow component observed in the Doppler velocity spectra and its dependence on star latitude generally follows that of the wind velocity with the exception of an omni-present depression near the poles. In particular, large equatorial expansion velocities produce a flared disc or a ring of effective emissivity and mass loss. The effect on the determination of the orientation of the star axis of radial velocity gradients and possibly competing rotation and expansion in the equatorial disc is discussed. In general, the flux of matter is found to reach a broad maximum at distances of the order of 500 au from the star. Arguments are given that may be used to prefer one wind velocity distribution to another. As a result of the improved quality of the data, a deeper understanding of the constraints imposed on morphology and kinematics has been obtained.
