摘要:

我们提出了对早期型磁星rho Oph A的新ATCA多波长无线电测量(范围2.1-21.2 GHz),该测量于2019年3月在3个不同的观测过程中进行。这些新的ATCA观测证明了恒星无线电发射的明显旋转调制,并在2.1 GHz处检测到rho Oph A的相干极光无线电发射。我们收集了高分辨率的光学光谱的rho Oph A收购的几个仪器在大约十年的时间跨度。我们还报告了新的磁场测量的ρ Oph A,连同无线电光变曲线和时间变化的等效宽度的氦线(λ =5015埃),被用来限制旋转周期和恒星的磁场几何形状。上述结果已被用来模拟恒星无线电发射,建模,使我们能够限制rho Oph A的磁层的物理条件。过去的XMM测量显示rho Oph A的周期性X射线脉冲。我们将X射线光曲线与rho Oph A的磁场几何形状相关联。已发表的XMM数据已被重新分析,表明rho Oph A的X射线光谱与非热X射线组分的存在相容。我们讨论的情况下,发射现象发生在极端的电磁波谱,无线电和X射线,是直接由相同的等离子体过程。我们解释所观察到的X射线和无线电特性的rho Oph A具有极光起源。

英文摘要:

We present new ATCA multi-wavelength radio measurements (range 2.1-21.2 GHz) of the early-type magnetic star rho Oph A, performed in March 2019 during 3 different observing sessions. These new ATCA observations evidence a clear rotational modulation of the stellar radio emission and the detection of coherent auroral radio emission from rho Oph A at 2.1 GHz. We collected high-resolution optical spectra of rho Oph A acquired by several instruments over a time span of about ten years. We also report new magnetic field measurements of rho Oph A that, together with the radio light curves and the temporal variation of the equivalent width of the HeI line (lambda=5015 Angstrom), were used to constrain the rotation period and the stellar magnetic field geometry. The above results have been used to model the stellar radio emission, modelling that allowed us to constrain the physical condition of rho Oph A's magnetosphere. Past XMM measurements showed periodic X-ray pulses from rho Oph A. We correlate the X-ray light curve with the magnetic field geometry of rho Oph A. The already published XMM data have been re-analyzed showing that the X-ray spectra of rho Oph A are compatible with the presence of a non-thermal X-ray component. We discuss a scenario where the emission phenomena occurring at the extremes of the electromagnetic spectrum, radio and X-ray, are directly induced by the same plasma process. We interpret the observed X-ray and radio features of rho Oph A as having an auroral origin.
