摘要:

在新星爆发期间驱动物质喷射的物理机制仍然知之甚少。可能包括在单一弹道事件中的弹射,共同的包络相互作用,连续的风,或这些过程的某种组合。在这里,我们提出了一个研究12银河新星,我们有前最大的高分辨率光谱。所有12颗新星都显示出相同的光谱演化。在光学峰前,它们表现出慢的天鹅座P分量。在峰值之后,快速组分迅速出现,而缓慢吸收仍然叠加在其上,这意味着至少存在两种物理上不同的流动。对于高步频监测的新星,还观察到第三个中速分量。这些观测结果与一种情况相一致,即慢分量与吸积物质的初始喷射有关,快分量与来自白矮星的辐射驱动风有关。当这些流相互作用时,慢速流被快速流扫过,产生中间组分。这些碰撞流可能产生在某些新星中观察到的伽马射线辐射。我们的光谱还表明,在一些新星中看到的瞬态重元素吸收线具有相同的速度结构和演变的频谱中的其他线路,这意味着与新星喷出物,而不是预先存在的气体或材料从二次烧蚀的环双星水库协会。虽然这一基本设想似乎在质量上再现了经典新星的多波长观测,但仍需要大量的理论和观测工作来解开新星性质的丰富多样性。

英文摘要:

The physical mechanism driving mass ejection during a nova eruption is still poorly understood. Possibilities include ejection in a single ballistic event, a common envelope interaction, a continuous wind, or some combination of these processes. Here we present a study of 12 Galactic novae, for which we have pre-maximum high-resolution spectroscopy. All 12 novae show the same spectral evolution. Before optical peak, they show a slow P Cygni component. After peak a fast component quickly arises, while the slow absorption remains superimposed on top of it, implying the presence of at least two physically distinct flows. For novae with high-cadence monitoring, a third, intermediate-velocity component is also observed. These observations are consistent with a scenario where the slow component is associated with the initial ejection of the accreted material and the fast component with a radiation-driven wind from the white dwarf. When these flows interact, the slow flow is swept up by the fast flow, producing the intermediate component. These colliding flows may produce the gamma-ray emission observed in some novae. Our spectra also show that the transient heavy element absorption lines seen in some novae have the same velocity structure and evolution as the other lines in the spectrum, implying an association with the nova ejecta rather than a pre-existing circumbinary reservoir of gas or material ablated from the secondary. While this basic scenario appears to qualitatively reproduce multi-wavelength observations of classical novae, substantial theoretical and observational work is still needed to untangle the rich diversity of nova properties.
