摘要:

共生的米拉,RX小狗,显示其平均亮度水平的长期变化,由于变星周尘埃的遮蔽。上一次米拉的消光增加是在1995年至2000年之间,伴随着光学和红色光谱范围内偏振度的巨大变化。位置角中没有任何明显的相关联的变化可以指示偏振变化是由尘埃颗粒的性质的变化(例如,由于尘埃颗粒形成和生长而导致的尘埃的可变量和可变的颗粒尺寸分布)驱动的,而不是例如由于二元旋转而导致的散射区域的观察几何形状的变化。

英文摘要:

The symbiotic Mira, RX Pup, shows long-term variations in its mean light level due to variable obscuration by circumstellar dust. The last increase in extinction towards the Mira, between 1995 and 2000, has been accompanied by large changes in the degree of polarization in the optical and red spectral range. The lack of any obvious associated changes in the position angle may indicate the polarization variations are driven by changes in the properties of the dust grains (e.g. variable quantity of dust and variable particle size distribution, due to dust grain formation and growth) rather than changes in the viewing geometry of the scattering region(s), e.g. due to the binary rotation.
