摘要:

超新星全天空自动巡天(ASAS-SN)前所未有的天空覆盖范围和观测节奏导致了对银河瞬变的大样本的发现和持续监测。其中绝大多数是在激变变星系统中由吸积驱动的矮新星爆发,但也有一小部分是由热核驱动的经典新星。尽管ASAS-SN和其他调查改进了对银河系新星的监测,但观测到的银河系新星率仍然低于预测。经典新星可能被忽略的一种方式是,如果它们与数量更多的矮新星相混淆。在这里,我们研究了1617矮新星爆发ASAS-SN检测到的属性,并将它们与经典新星进行比较。我们发现,平均经典新星增亮约11个星等,而平均矮新星增亮仅约5个星等,爆发振幅分布重叠约15%。首次,我们表明,爆发的幅度和时间从最大值下降了两个量级正相关的矮新星爆发。对于经典新星,我们发现,这些数量是负相关的,但只有弱,相比,这些数量的强反相关性在以前的一些工作中发现。我们表明,即使位于很大的距离,只有少数假定的矮新星可能被错误分类的经典新星,这表明这些人口之间的混淆是最小的。未来对这些候选者的光谱跟踪可以显示是否有任何确实是经典新星。

英文摘要:

The unprecedented sky coverage and observing cadence of the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) has resulted in the discovery and continued monitoring of a large sample of Galactic transients. The vast majority of these are accretion-powered dwarf nova outbursts in cataclysmic variable systems, but a small subset are thermonuclear-powered classical novae. Despite improved monitoring of the Galaxy for novae from ASAS-SN and other surveys, the observed Galactic nova rate is still lower than predictions. One way classical novae could be missed is if they are confused with the much larger population of dwarf novae. Here, we examine the properties of 1617 dwarf nova outbursts detected by ASAS-SN and compare them to classical novae. We find that the mean classical nova brightens by ~11 magnitudes during outburst, while the mean dwarf nova brightens by only ~5 magnitudes, with the outburst amplitude distributions overlapping by roughly 15%. For the first time, we show that the amplitude of an outburst and the time it takes to decline by two magnitudes from maximum are positively correlated for dwarf nova outbursts. For classical novae, we find that these quantities are negatively correlated, but only weakly, compared to the strong anti-correlation of these quantities found in some previous work. We show that, even if located at large distances, only a small number of putative dwarf novae could be mis-classified classical novae suggesting that there is minimal confusion between these populations. Future spectroscopic follow-up of these candidates can show whether any are indeed classical novae.
