摘要:

自转和双星相互作用在理解大质量恒星(>8 Msun)的性质中起着重要的作用。一些有趣的瞬变现象,如长持续时间的伽马射线暴,被认为起源于快速旋转的大质量恒星。由于强烈的恒星风可以有效地旋转快速旋转的富含金属的大质量恒星,因此很难在银河系中找到临界旋转的单个大质量恒星。在目前的工作报告中,发现了银河系中最快的旋转器LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8,预计旋转速度vsini约为540 km/s,比之前的记录保持者HD 191423快约100 km/s。这颗恒星的光谱类型为O6.5 Vnnn(f)p,它的He I 4471吸收线是蓝移且不对称的,而它的He II 4686和Ha在它们的辐射中有中心吸收反转。它也是一颗逃逸星,这意味着它起源于一个紧密的双星系统。与大麦云云VFTS 285和VFTS 102(vsini ~ 610 km/s)相比,LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8有其独特的光谱特征和较早的光谱型。此外,LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8的亮度(B ~ 13.9等)足以让未来的高分辨率光谱跟踪。

英文摘要:

Rotation and binary interaction play important roles in understanding the nature of massive stars (>8 Msun). Some interesting transients, such as the long-duration gamma-ray bursts, are thought to be originated from fast-rotating massive stars. Because the strong stellar wind can effectively spin down a metal-rich massive star with fast rotation, it is very hard to find single massive stars rotating critically in the Galaxy. In the present work reported is the discovery of the fastest rotator in the Galaxy, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8, with a projected rotational velocity vsini ~540 km/s, which is ~ 100 km/s faster than that of the previous record holder HD 191423. The star has a spectral type of O6.5 Vnnn(f)p. Its He I 4471 absorption line is blueshifted and asymmetric, while its He II 4686 and Ha have central absorption reversals in their emissions. It is also a runaway star, which implies an origin in a close binary interaction. Compared to VFTS 285 and VFTS 102 (their vsini ~ 610 km/s) in the Large Magellanic Cloud, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8 has its own peculiar spectral characteristics and earlier spectral type. Moreover, LAMOST J040643.69+542347.8 is bright (B ~ 13.9 mag) enough to allow future high-resolution spectroscopic follow-ups.
