Paul A. Crowther, G. Rate, Joachim M. Bestenlehner

摘要:

我们提供了线光度和光谱模板的突出的光学发射线的133银河系沃尔夫-拉叶星利用盖亚DR 3的反射和光学分光光度计,并提供了比较与麦哲伦云的112个同行。WN、WN/C、WC和WO星的宽蓝色(He II 4686,C III 4647,51,N III 4634,41,N V 4603,20)和黄色(C IV 5801,12)发射特征的平均线光度可用于表征遥远的未分辨星系的恒星形成区的沃尔夫-拉叶星族。早型WN星在贫金属环境中表现出较低的线光度,但晚型WN星的情况不太清楚。大麦哲伦云WC 4 -5的线光度比银河系的高,麦哲伦云WO星的线光度比银河系的高。我们强调了其他突出的光学发射线,WN和WN/C星的N IV 3478,85,WC和WO星的O IV 3403,13和WO星的O VI 3811,34。我们应用我们的校准,以代表性的贫金属和富金属WR星系,IC 4870和NGC 3049,分别与光谱模板也适用于基于一个现实的混合亚型。最后,大(小)麦哲伦云的蓝线和CIV 5801,12线光度分别为2.6e38erg/s(9 e36 erg/s)和8.8e37erg/s(4 e36 erg/s),银河系的WR线累积光度估计比大麦哲伦云高一个数量级。

英文摘要:

We provide line luminosities and spectroscopic templates of prominent optical emission lines of 133 Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars by exploiting Gaia DR3 parallaxes and optical spectrophotometry, and provide comparisons with 112 counterparts in the Magellanic Clouds. Average line luminosities of the broad blue (He II 4686, C III 4647,51, N III 4634,41, N V 4603,20) and yellow (C IV 5801,12) emission features for WN, WN/C, WC and WO stars have application in characterising the Wolf-Rayet populations of star-forming regions of distant, unresolved galaxies. Early-type WN stars reveal lower line luminosities in more metal poor environments, but the situation is less clear for late-type WN stars. LMC WC4-5 line luminosities are higher than their Milky Way counterparts, with line luminosities of Magellanic Cloud WO stars higher than Galactic stars. We highlight other prominent optical emission lines, N IV 3478,85 for WN and WN/C stars, O IV 3403,13 for WC and WO stars and O VI 3811,34 for WO stars. We apply our calibrations to representative metal-poor and metal-rich WR galaxies, IC 4870 and NGC 3049, respectively, with spectral templates also applied based on a realistic mix of subtypes. Finally, the global blue and C IV 5801,12 line luminosities of the Large (Small) Magellanic Clouds are 2.6e38 erg/s (9e36 erg/s) and 8.8e37 erg/s (4e36 erg/s), respectively, with the cumulative WR line luminosity of the Milky Way estimated to be an order of magnitude higher than the LMC.
