研究通过近十年分光偏振与 H α/H β 观测,推断 HD 54879 为周期 7.41 年、极区磁场 ≥2 kG 的慢转强磁约束恒星,并用赤道磁层捕获盘解释 H α 发射及轮廓调制。

摘要:

O9.7 V 恒星 HD54879 中的磁场已被监测近十年。分光偏振观测揭示出一个相当强的平均纵向磁场,其变化周期约为 7.41 年。H α 线观测显示出具有相同周期的变化,而 H β 线仅表现出很小的变化。假设这种周期性变化由缓慢旋转和偶极磁场引起,我们得出磁极处的磁场强度 ≥2 kG。凭借 10^-9 M⊙ yr^-1 的相对较低质量损失率,这颗恒星属于极强磁约束情形。理论论证和数值模拟均表明,在磁场赤道平面内存在一个气体密度增大的延展盘,来自线驱动恒星风的气体被捕获于此。该盘很可能是观测到的 H α 发射的来源,这种发射与最强的视向磁场同时达到峰值。H α 线的轮廓可分解为若干成分,并表现出随旋转周期显著变化的特征。

英文摘要:

The magnetic field in the O9.7 V star HD54879 has been monitored for almost a decade. Spectropolarimetric observations reveal a rather strong mean longitudinal magnetic field that varies with a period of about 7.41 yr. Observations in the H$α$ line show a variation with the same period, while the H$β$ line shows only little variation. Assuming the periodic variation to be caused by a slow rotation and a dipolar magnetic field, we find a magnetic field strength of $\ge$2 kG at the magnetic poles. With the relatively low mass loss rate of $10^{-9} M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, this star is a case of extremely strong magnetic confinement. Both theoretical arguments and numerical simulations indicate the presence of an extended disk of increased gas density in the equatorial plane of the magnetic field, where gas from the line-driven stellar wind is trapped. This disk is likely to be the origin of the observed H$α$ emission, which peaks together with the strongest line-of-sight magnetic field. The profile of the H$α$ line is resolved in several components and shows a remarkable variability with the rotation period.
