AI总结:

本文通过构建含双重散射修正的单次散射辐射转移模型,利用HST的V波段图像重建双极型前行星状星云M1-92的尘埃密度分布与倾角,发现其赤道环面存在外部径向截断,提示双星伴星对星云形成有影响。

摘要:

前行星状星云(PPNe)由处于演化晚期、正在抛射质量的AGB恒星形成。恒星的大部分光线被尘埃粒子散射或吸收,从而形成在可见光和近红外波段观测到的反射星云。作为行星状星云(PNe)的前身,PPNe通常尚未受到仍被掩埋的恒星核心所发出的紫外辐射电离。双极型PPNe是观测到的PPNe中一种常见形态。本研究通过重建一个特别对称的双极型PPN——M1-92(闵可夫斯基的足迹,IRAS 19343+2926)的尘埃密度分布,为未来的动力学研究奠定基础。为此,我们开发了一个高效的单次散射辐射转移模型,并加入了对双重散射的修正。利用哈勃空间望远镜(HST)拍摄的V波段图像,我们推断了M1-92的尘埃密度轮廓和空间取向。结果表明,M1-92缓慢膨胀的赤道环面在其密度分布上存在外部径向截断,这暗示了在星云形成过程中存在一颗双星伴星的影响。

英文摘要:

Preplanetary nebulae (PPNe) are formed from mass-ejecting late-stage AGB stars. Much of the light from the star gets scattered or absorbed by dust particles, giving rise to the observed reflection nebula seen at visible and near-IR wavelengths. Precursors to planetary nebulae (PNe), PPNe generally have not yet undergone any ionization by UV radiation from the still-buried stellar core. Bipolar PPNe are a common form of observed PPNe. This study lays the groundwork for future dynamical studies by reconstructing the dust density distribution of a particularly symmetric bipolar PPN, M1-92 (Minkowski's Footprint, IRAS 19343$+$2926). For this purpose, we develop an efficient single-scattering radiative transfer model with corrections for double-scattering. Using a V-band image from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), we infer the dust density profile and orientation of M1-92. These results indicate that M1-92's slowly expanding equatorial torus exhibits an outer radial cutoff in its density, which implicates the influence of a binary companion during the formation of the nebula.
