NGC 1624-2是O 7 f吗?p型星,据报道极磁场强度$\ge$为20 kG,这是O型星中测得的最强磁场。我们研究了平均纵向磁场$\langle B_z \rangle$和平均场模量$\langle B \rangle$的变化,以获得其场几何形状的约束。在整个旋转周期中只能观察到一个磁极。$\langle B_z \rangle$的近似正弦变化和$\langle B \rangle$的极值值的比率表明存在偶极场的重要分量。在旋转周期内测量的$\langle B_z \rangle$值在$-0.2$至4.5 kG的范围内,而$\langle B \rangle$的值在9至12 kG之间变化。使用O III $λ$ 7455发射谱线获得的$\langle B_z \rangle$值在0.4至2.3 kG的范围内,并显示出与吸收谱线检测到的相似的变化模式。$\langle B_z \rangle$最小值的相位与$\langle B \rangle$最大值的相位一致的事实表明,场结构必须明显偏离中心偶极子。此外,我们讨论的性质所观察到的变量斯托克斯$V$配置文件对应的纵向领域的负极性检测的发射He I线和目前的第一个MHD数值模拟的气体流在磁层中的这颗星。
英文摘要:
NGC 1624-2 is an O7f?p star with a reported probable polar magnetic field strength $\ge$ 20 kG, which is the strongest magnetic field ever measured in an O-type star. We study the variability of the mean longitudinal magnetic field $\langle B_z \rangle$ and the mean field modulus $\langle B \rangle$ to obtain constraints on its field geometry. Only one magnetic pole is observable over the rotation cycle. The approximately sinusoidal variation of $\langle B_z \rangle$ and the ratio of the values of the extrema of $\langle B \rangle$ indicate that there is an important component of the field that is dipolar. The $\langle B_z \rangle$ values measured over the rotation cycle are in the range from $-0.2$ to 4.5 kG, whereas the values for $\langle B \rangle$ vary between 9 and 12 kG. The $\langle B_z \rangle$ values obtained using the O III $λ$7455 emission line are in the range from 0.4 to 2.3 kG and show a variability pattern similar to that detected for the absorption lines. The fact that the phase of the $\langle B_z \rangle$ minimum coincides with the phase of the $\langle B \rangle$ maximum, indicates that the field structure must significantly depart from a centred dipole. Further, we discuss the nature of the observed variable Stokes $V$ profiles corresponding to a longitudinal field of negative polarity detected in the emission He I lines and present the first MHD numerical simulations of the gas flow in the magnetosphere of this star.
New observations of NGC 1624-2 reveal a complex magnetospheric structure and underlying surface magnetic geometry
NGC 1624-2是已知最强磁化的O型恒星。以前在紫外线下对这个天体的光谱观测提供了证据,证明它拥有一个大而密集的星周磁层。\textit{Hubble Space Telescope}的后续观测不仅证实了先前的推断,而且还表明NGC 1624-2的磁层具有复杂的结构。此外,一个扩展的光谱偏振时间序列显示了一个潜在的偏离偶极磁场的几何形状,这可能意味着在O型星的表面检测到的最强场也是拓扑复杂的。这一结果提出了关于大质量恒星中磁场的起源和演化的重要问题。
