AI总结:

本研究发现新的候选IW And型矮新星J0652+2436,通过观测测得其质量比为0.366,提出其爆发源于静止期吸积盘增长,它可能是首颗兼具倾斜盘进动和潮汐不稳定性的这类恒星,助力吸积盘动力学与IW And现象研究。

摘要:

IW And型矮新星是一类反常的Z Cam型恒星,其特征是在静止状态期间发生爆发,这是标准盘不稳定性模型无法解释的。这类光变的物理机制目前仍不明确。本研究中,我们报告发现了一颗新的候选IW And型矮新星J0652+2436,它因从缓慢上升的静止状态中频繁发生爆发而被识别。幸运的是,TESS(凌日系外行星巡天卫星)对其长静止状态的观测,以及更早的K2任务观测,为我们提供了在J0652+2436的光变曲线中找到轨道周期和负超峰周期的机会,由此测得其质量比为0.366。根据此前的SPH(光滑粒子流体动力学)模拟结果,该质量比处于潮汐不稳定性可能发生的临界范围内。因此,我们提出J0652+2436的爆发很可能由静止期间吸积盘的增长所引发,这支持了此前关于所有IW And型恒星爆发机制的假说。我们得出结论,J0652+2436可能是首颗同时存在进动倾斜盘和潮汐不稳定性的IW And型恒星,它将成为研究吸积盘动力学的重要实验室,并有助于理解IW And现象。

英文摘要:

IW And-type dwarf novae are anomalous Z Cam stars featured with outbursts happening during standstill states, which are not expected in the standard disk instability model. The physical mechanisms for these variations remain unclear. In this study, we report the discovery of a new candidate IW And-type dwarf nova J0652+2436, identified with its frequent outbursts from the slowly rising standstill states. Luckily, the TESS observations during a long standstill state and the earlier K2 observations give a chance to find the orbital and negative superhump period in the light curve of J0652+2436, allowing the measurement of its mass ratio of 0.366. This mass ratio is marginally possible for the tidal instability to set in according to previous SPH simulations. Thus, we propose that the outbursts in J0652+2436 are likely to be caused by the growing accretion disk during standstills, in favor of the previous hypothesis of the mechanisms lying in all IW And stars. We conclude that J0652+2436 might be the first IW And star with both a precessing tilted disk and tidal instability, which will be an important laboratory for studying the accretion disk dynamics and help understand IW And phenomenon.
