摘要:

星云He II λ1640发射线在恒星形成星系中被观测到,并且可以用来限制He+电离光子源的性质。为此,了解这些光子的主要恒星来源至关重要。在一些邻近的贫金属星暴星系中,星云He II λ4686(光学当量)伴随着一个广泛的底层成分,这通常归因于经典(He燃烧)沃尔夫-拉叶星的风,主要是WN亚型。在这种情况下,星云成分的起源被认为是来自WN恒星风的He+电离光子的逃逸,至少部分是这样。我们利用甚大望远镜上的焦缩低色散摄谱仪(FORS 1)获得的长缝观测资料,寻找HD 5980中WN 6 h + WN 6(7)近距离双星南部的He II λ4686星云发射。我们只发现宽的He II λ4686发射,直到aprox。7.6 PC从二进制。与哈勃太空望远镜上的空间望远镜成像光谱仪(STIS)在类似轨道相位下获得的观测结果进行比较,表明FORS 1宽He II发射可能是来自多星系统HD 5980的污染。我们使用的模型表明,没有显着的He+电离通量预计从WN星在HD 5980,当类似的恒星存在于一个同时代的恒星星族,O星可以更大的发射体的He+电离辐射。

英文摘要:

The nebular He II λ1640 emission line is observed in star forming galaxies out to large distances and can be used to constrain the properties of sources of He+ ionizing photons. For this purpose, it is crucial to understand which are the main stellar sources of these photons. In some nearby metal poor starburst galaxies, nebular He II λ4686 (optical equivalent) is accompanied by a broad underlying component, which is generally attributed to formation in the winds of classical (He burning) Wolf Rayet stars, primarily of the WN subtype. In such cases, the origin of the nebular component has been proposed to be the escape of He+ ionizing photons from the winds of the WN stars, at least partially. We use archival long slit observations obtained with Focal Reducer Low Dispersion Spectrograph (FORS1) on the Very Large Telescope to look for nebular He II λ4686 emission south of the WN6h + WN6(7) close binary in HD 5980. We only find broad He II λ4686 emission, as far as aprox. 7.6 pc from the binary. A comparison with observations obtained with Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope, at a similar orbital phase, shows that the FORS1 broad He II emission is likely contamination from the multiple star system HD 5980. We use models to show that no significant He+ ionizing flux is expected from the WN stars in HD 5980 and that when similar stars are present in a coeval stellar population, the O stars can be far greater emitters of He+ ionizing radiation.
