Variability of hot supergiant IRAS 19336-0400 in the early phase of planetary nebula ionization     

V. P. Arkhipova  M. A. Burlak  V. F. Esipov  N. P. Ikonnikova  G. V. Komissarova 《Astronomy Letters》2012,38(3):157-166

We present photoelectric and spectral observations of a hot candidate proto-planetary nebula—early B-type supergiant with emission lines in spectrum—IRAS 19336-0400. The light and color curves display fast irregular brightness variations with maximum amplitudes \(\Delta V = 0_ \cdot ^m 30\), \(\Delta B = 0_ \cdot ^m 35\), \(\Delta U = 0_ \cdot ^m 40\) and color-brightness correlations. By the variability characteristics IRAS 19336-0400 appears similar to other hot proto-planetary nebulae. Based on low-resolution spectra in the range λ4000–7500 Å we have derived absolute intensities of the emission lines Hα, Hβ, Hγ, [S II], [N II], physical conditions in gaseous nebula: n _e = 10⁴ cm^?3, T _e = 7000 ± 1000 K. The emission line Hα, Hβ equivalent widths are found to be considerably variable and related to light changes. By UBV-photometry and spectroscopy the color excess has been estimated: E _B-V = 0.50–0.54. Joint photometric and spectral data analysis allows us to assume that the star variability is caused by stellar wind variations.  相似文献   

Photometric and spectroscopic study of the supergiant with an infrared excess V1027 Cygni     

V. P. Arkhipova  O. G. Taranova  N. P. Ikonnikova  V. F. Esipov  G. V. Komissarova  V. I. Shenavrin  M. A. Burlak 《Astronomy Letters》2016,42(11):756-773

We present the results of our UBV and JHKLM photometry for the semiregular pulsating variable V1027 Cyg, a supergiant with an infrared excess, over the period from 1997 to 2015 (UBV) and in 2009–2015 (JHKLM). Together with the new data, we analyze the photometric observations of V1027 Cyg that we have obtained and published previously. Our search for a periodicity in the UBV brightness variations has led to several periods from P = 212^d to 320^d in different time intervals. We have found the period P = 237^d based on our infrared photometry. The variability amplitude, the lightcurve shape, and themagnitude of V1027 Cyg atmaximum light change noticeably from cycle to cycle. The deepest minimum was observed in 2011, when the amplitudes of brightness variations in the star reached the following values: ΔU = 1 _. ^m 28, ΔB = 1 _. ^m 10, ΔV = 1 _. ^m 05, ΔJ = 0 _. ^m 30, ΔH = 0 _. ^m 35, ΔK = 0 _. ^m 32, ΔL = 0 _. ^m 26, and ΔM = 0 _. ^m 10. An ambiguous correlation of the B ? V and U ? B colors with the brightness has been revealed. For example, a noticeable bluing of the star was observed during the deep 1992, 2008, and 2011 minima, while the variations with smaller amplitudes show an increase in B ? V at the photometric minima. The spectral energy distribution for V1027 Cyg from our photometry in the range 0.36 (U)–5.0 (M) μm corresponds to spectral types from G8I to K3I at different phases of the pulsation cycle. Low-resolution spectra of V1027 Cyg in the range λ4400–9200 ?A were taken during 16 nights over the period 1995–2015. At the 1995 and 2011 photometric minima the star’s spectrum exhibited molecular TiO bands whose intensity corresponded to spectral types M0–M1, while the photometric data point to a considerably earlier spectral type. We hypothesize that the TiO bands are formed in the upper layers of the extended stellar atmosphere. We have measured the equivalent widths of the strongest absorption lines, in particular, the infrared Ca II triplet in the spectrum of V1027 Cyg. The calcium triplet (Ca T) with W _λ(Ca T) = 20.3 ± 1.8 ?A as a luminosity indicator for supergiants places V1027 Cyg in the region of the brightest G–K supergiants. V1027 Cyg has been identified with the infrared source IRAS 20004+2955 and is currently believed to be a candidate for post-AGB stars. The evolutionary status of the star and its difference from other post-AGB objects are discussed.  相似文献   

Symbiotic halo star LT Del: Phase variations of the emission spectrum and parameters of the cool component     

V. P. Arkhipova  V. F. Esipov  N. P. Ikonnikova  G. V. Komissarova  R. I. Noskova 《Astronomy Letters》2011,37(5):343-357

Long-term photometric and spectroscopic observations of the yellow symbiotic star LT Del are analyzed. UBV light curves are presented. Based on the observations of 20 cycles, we have refined the orbital period of the star, P = 476 _· ^d 0 ± 1 _· ^d 0. The brightness has been found to be unstable at some orbital phases with an amplitude up to 0 _· ^m 3. We have measured the fluxes in hydrogen and helium emission lines and in continuum and investigated their relationship to the orbital period. The fluxes in hydrogen and HeI lines follow the UBV light curves in phase; the He II 4686 Å flux does not depend on the phase and is constant within the accuracy of our measurements. The intensity ratio of the 4686 Å andHβ lines changes from 0.2 to 0.9 over the period. We interpret the spectroscopic observations based on the hypothesis of heating and ionization of the stellar wind from a cool component by high-frequency radiation from a hot star with a temperature of 105 K. We have estimated the spectral type of the cool star from our photometry and its continuum energy distribution as a bright K2–4 red giant branch halo star. The bolometric luminosity and mass loss rate have been estimated for the K component to be L _bol ～ 700L _⊙ and \(\dot{M}\) ～ 10^?8 M _⊙ yr^?1, respectively.  相似文献   

Infrared photometry of eight planetary nebulae     

O. G. Taranova  V. I. Shenavrin 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(9):584-593

We discuss the infrared (IR) (1.25–5 µm) photometry of eight planetary nebulae performed in 1999–2006. For all of the nebulae under study, we have firmly established IR brightness and color variations on time scales shorter than one year and up to 6–8 years. The greatest IR brightness variations were observed in IC 2149, IC 4997, and NGC 7662. Their J magnitudes varied within 0 _. ^m 2–0 _. ^m 25. In the remaining objects, the J magnitude variations did not exceed 0 _. ^m 15. All of the planetary nebulae under study exhibited IR color variations. Based on the IR photometry, we have classified the central regions of the planetary nebula NGC 1514 and of the northern part of NGC 7635 seen through a 12″ aperture as a B(3–7) main-sequence star (NGC 1514) and a ～O9.5 upper-main-sequence star (NGC 7635). The nebulae IC 4997 and NGC 7027 exhibited an excess emission (with respect to the emission from a hot source) at λ > 2.5 µm.  相似文献   

Variability of the spectrum and brightness of RY Tau     

N. Z. Ismailov  P. N. Shustarev  A. N. Adigezalzade  G. R. Bahaddinova 《Astronomy Letters》2011,37(11):783-790

The results of spectroscopic observations of the star RY Tau in the ultraviolet based on IUE data and in the visual spectral range obtained at ShAO are presented. Despite significant brightness variability in 1983–1984, the Mg II λ2800 Å emission doublet showed no synchronous variation with the UBV photometric data. Periodic variability of the Mg II λ2800 Å emission intensity with a period of 23 days has been detected for the first time. The periodicity is also observed for a group of such lines as CIV λ1450 Å, He II λ1640 Å, and S II λ1756 Å. The equivalent widths and shifts of the individual components of the Hα, H + H _ε , and CaII K lines also vary with the period found. The observed variability of the emission spectrum can be explained by the existence of a companion in the system in an orbit with a semimajor axis of about 0.13 AU.  相似文献   

Synchronous <Emphasis Type="Italic">UBVR</Emphasis> photometry and spectroscopy of DI Cephei     

N. Z. Ismailov  K. N. Grankin 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(2):113-120

We present our synchronous spectroscopy and photometry of DI Cep, a classical T Tauri star. The equivalent widths and radial velocities of the individual components and Hα, Hβ, D1 and D2 Na I, and HeI λ5876 Å emission line profiles exhibit variability. We have found a clear positive correlation between the brightness and equivalent width for the Hα and Hβ emission lines. The photometric and spectroscopic data are satisfactorily described in phases of a 9-day period. The expected magnetic field of the star has been estimated using existing magnetospheric models to be 655–1000 G. The star is suspected to be a binary.  相似文献   

Photometric activity of the UX Ori star V1184 Tau in the optical and near-infrared spectral ranges     

V. P. Grinin  A. A. Arkharov  O. Yu. Barsunova  S. G. Sergeev  L. V. Tambovtseva 《Astronomy Letters》2009,35(2):114-120

We present the results of our infrared JHK photometry for the unusual UX Ori star V1184 Tau. Comparison with previous observations performed before the catastrophic decline in its optical brightness in 2004 (when the star faded approximately by a factor of 100) has shown the following: the star faded approximately by 2 ^m and 1 ^m in the J and H bands, respectively, while its K brightness remained almost constant. This pattern of infrared variability seems incompatible with the mechanism of variable circumstellar extinction responsible for the dramatic decline in the star’s optical brightness. However, if this mechanism is considered in the context of an accretion disk model with a puffed-up inner rim in the dust sublimation zone and with a disk wind producing an expanding gas-dust atmosphere above the disk surface, then the paradox can be resolved. In this model, the photometric activity of V1184 Tau in both visible and near-infrared spectral ranges, including the sharp brightness decline in 2004, can be explained by an increase in the geometric thickness of the disk in the dust sublimation zone caused by enhanced accretion of circumstellar matter onto the star. There is reason to believe that such events occur periodically and result from the presence of a companion to V1184 Tau moving in a highly eccentric orbit. The offered interpretation of the photometric activity of V1184 Tau allows this object to be classified as an UX Ori star based on the observed photometric effect and, at the same time, as a FU Ori star based on the pattern of the physical process that produced this effect.  相似文献   

Spots and activity cycles of the star FKCom—2013–2015 data analysis     

V. B. Puzin  I. S. Savanov  E. S. Dmitrienko  I. I. Romanyuk  E. A. Semenko  I. A. Yakunin  A. Yu. Burdanov 《Astrophysical Bulletin》2016,71(2):189-198

We present an analysis of new photometric and spectropolarimetric observations of a chromospherically active star FKCom. Based on this observational data and the data from the literature sources, applying a common technique, we performed an analysis of a complete set of the available photometric data, which were divided into 218 individual light curves. For each of them a reverse problem of restoring largescale temperature irregularities on the surface of the star from its light curve was solved. We analyzed the time series for the brightness of the star in the U-, B-, and V-bands, the brightness variability amplitudes, the total area of the spots on the surface of the star, and the average brightness of each set considered. The analysis of determination results of the positions of active longitudes leads to the conclusion about the existence of two systems of active regions on the FKCom surface. It was determined that the positions of each of these systems undergo cyclic changes. This confirms the conclusion on the likely absence of a strongly pronounced regularity of the flip-flops in FKCom, earlier suggested by other researchers. The results of the new polarimetric observations FKCom in 2014–2015 are presented. These measurements evidence the legitimacy of the proposed interpretation the behavior of the longitudinal magnetic field strength 〈B_z〉, indicating the settling-in of a more symmetric distribution of magnetic region on the FKCom surface. An increasing activity of the star over the recent years, registered from the photometric observations is also consistent with the probable onset of growth in the 〈B_z〉 parameter starting from 2014.  相似文献   

Pulsations and apsidal motion in the eclipsing variable system DI Herculis     

V. S. Kozyreva  L. A. Bagaev 《Astronomy Letters》2009,35(7):483-493

In 2003–2008, highly accurate photoelectric and CCD observations of the close binary system DI Her were performed in the V band. The light curves of three primary and three secondary eclipses were constructed. These observations, along with the highly accurate photoelectric observations of other authors obtained in different years from 1963 to 1986, have confirmed the difference between the observed (1 _. ^o 3 ± 0 _. ^o 1/100 yr) and theoretical (4 _. ^o 3/100 yr) rates of apsidal motion. Our photometric data are indicative of a possible variability in the system with period P′ = 1.175 days and amplitude A′ = 0 _. ^m 011, which is probably related to the pulsations of one of the components. There may be a third body in the system that produces in-phase variations in the times of primary and secondary minima with a period of 10.5 yr and an amplitude of 1 _. ^m 5.  相似文献   

The observed structure of extremely distant galaxies     

V. P. Reshetnikov  A. A. Vasil'ev 《Astronomy Letters》2002,28(1):1-11

We have identified 22 galaxies with photometric redshifts z_ph=5–7 in the northern and southern Hubble Space Telescope deep fields. An analysis of the images of these objects shows that they are asymmetric and very compact (～1 kpc) structures with high surface brightness and absolute magnitudes of M_B≈?20^m. The average spectral energy distribution for these galaxies agrees with the distributions for galaxies with active star formation. The star formation rate in galaxies with z_ph=5–7 was estimated from their luminosity at λ=1500 Å to be ~30 M_⊙yr^?1. The spatial density of these objects is close to the current spatial density of bright galaxies. All the above properties of the distant galaxies considered are very similar to those of the so-called Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) with z ～ 3–4. The similarity between the objects considered and LBGs suggests that at z ～6, we observe the progenitors of present-day galaxies that form duringmergers of protogalactic objects and that undergo intense starbursts.  相似文献   

Infrared photometry for two RV Tau stars and V1027 Cyg     

O. G. Taranova  V. I. Shenavrin  A. M. Tatarnikov 《Astronomy Letters》2009,35(7):472-482

We present and discuss the results of our long-term JHKLM photometry for two RV Tau stars (R Sge and RV Tau) and the yellow supergiant V1027 Cyg, a candidate for protoplanetary nebulae. The amplitude of the infrared brightness variations in R Sge and RV Tau over fourteen years of observations was 0 _. ^m 9?1 ^m ; the infrared brightness variations in V1027 Cyg over eighteen years did not exceed 0 _. ^m 25. The infrared brightness and color of R Sge fluctuated about their gradually changing mean values; the infrared brightness variations agree with a period of 70.77 days. The periodic J brightness and J-H color variations in R Sge can be explained by temperature pulsations with ΔT ≤ 200 K and radial pulsations with [ΔR/R] ≤ 0.2. From 1995 to 2008, the mean J brightness of RV Tau increased, while its mean J-H color index decreased; the variations in the mean J brightness can be associated mainly with stellar temperature variations; a periodic component with P = 78.73 days is observed in the infrared brightness and color fluctuations. The variations in the mean J brightness and J-H color index of the supergiant V1027 Cyg over eighteen years of observations did not exceed a few hundredths of a magnitude; both temperature and radial pulsations may be present in the observed J brightness variations. The most probable period of the infrared brightness fluctuations in V1027 Cyg is 237 ± 2 days. The dust shell of R Sge may consist of two layers with grain temperatures of ～1000 and ～700 K; the optical depth at 1.25 µm is ～0.02 and ～0.24, respectively. The grain temperatures in the circumstellar dust shells of the supergiants RV Tau and V1027 Cyg are ～600 K (RV Tau) and ～700 K (V1027 Cyg). Their optical depths at 1.25 µm are ～0.24 (RV Tau) and ～0.008 (V1027 Cyg).  相似文献   

The candidate protoplanetary object IRAS 22223+4327 is a pulsating variable star     

V. P. Arkhipova  R. I. Noskova  N. P. Ikonnikova  G. V. Komissarova 《Astronomy Letters》2003,29(7):480-485

We present our photoelectric U BV observations of the candidate protoplanetary object IRAS 22223+4327 during four visibility seasons. The star exhibited periodic brightness variations with the maximum amplitudes \(\Delta U = 0\mathop .\limits^m 23, \Delta B = 0\mathop .\limits^m 18, and \Delta V = 0\mathop .\limits^m 12\) and a time scale of about 90 days, which is equal to the period derived by other authors from radial velocities. During these brightness variations, a correlation is observed between the (B-V) color index and brightness, which is characteristic of pulsations. We estimated the star’s spectral type from our photometric data to be F8 I. We detected a “deficit” of light in the U band. The star’s mean brightness and its spectral type appear to have not changed in the past half a century.  相似文献   

FG Sge at the stage of dust shell ejection     

V. P. Arkhipova  V. F. Esipov  N. P. Ikonnikova  G. V. Komissarova  S. Yu. Shugarov 《Astronomy Letters》2009,35(8):534-546

New photometric observations of the variable star FG Sge, a rapidly evolving planetary nebula nucleus, were performed in 2003–2008. On 230 nights, we obtained 86 UBV and 155 BV RI (or R _c , I _c ) magnitude estimates. The maximum amplitude of the V-band light variations was >8 ^m . Six deep minima and four high maxima were observed. Analysis of the light curve has shown that the pulsation period of the star remained constant since 1991 and was P = 115 days. We have studied the wavelength dependence of the extinction at various phases of the light curve. The blueing of the B-V color at deep minima is interpreted as the result of light scattering in the circumstellar dust shell of the star formed by preceding dust ejections since 1992. Our spectroscopic observations performed on nine nights in 2003–2007 with the 125-cm telescope at the Crimean Station of the Sternberg Institute have confirmed the previously detected intensity variations of the Swan bands and the sodium doublet with brightness. It is noted that the Swan bands originate in the upper atmosphere, the star’s extended envelope, while the sodium doublet originates mainly in the circumstellar shell of FG Sge. We suggest that the star is currently located in the temperature-luminosity diagram at the turning point of the horizontal track of cooling in the direction of hot stars—evolution caused by the last helium shell flash at the planetary nebula stage.  相似文献

S. S. Kaisin  A. V. Kasparova  A. Yu. Knyazev  I. D. Karachentsev 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(5):283-291

We present our Hα observations of 11 isolated southern galaxies: SDIG, PGC 51659, E 222-010, E 272-025, E 137-018, IC 4662, Sag DIG, IC 5052, IC 5152, UGCA 438, and E 149-003, with distances from 1 to 7 Mpc. We have determined the total Hα fluxes from these galaxies. The star formation rates in these galaxies range from 10^?1 (IC 4662) to 10^?4 M _⊙ yr^?1 (SDIG) and the gas depletion time at the observed star formation rates lies within the range from 1/6 to 24 Hubble times H ₀ ^?1 .  相似文献   

Nearby low-mass triple system GJ 795     

E. V. Malogolovets  Yu. Yu. Balega  D. A. Rastegaev 《Astrophysical Bulletin》2007,62(2):111-116

We report the results of our optical speckle interferometric observations of the nearby triple system GJ 795 performed with the 6 m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences with diffraction-limited angular resolution. The three components of the system were optically resolved for the first time. Position measurements allowed us to determine the elements of the inner orbit of the triple system. We use the measured magnitude differences to estimate the absolute magnitudes and spectral types of the components of the triple: M _V ^Aa =7.31±0.08, M _V ^Ab =8.66±0.10, M _V ^B =8.42±0.10, Sp _Aa≈K5, Sp _Ab≈K9, Sp _B ≈K8. The total mass of the system is equal to ΣM _AB =1.69±0.27M _⊙. We show GJ795 to be a hierarchical triple system which satisfies the empirical stability criteria.  相似文献   

Variability and possible rapid evolution of the hot post-AGB stars Hen 3-1347, Hen 3-1428, and LSS 4634     

V. P. Arkhipova  M. A. Burlak  V. F. Esipov  N. P. Ikonnikova  A. Yu. Kniazev  G. V. Komissarova  A. Tekola 《Astronomy Letters》2014,40(8):485-498

We present the results of spectroscopic and photometric observations for three hot southern-hemisphere post-AGB objects, Hen 3-1347 = IRAS 17074-1845, Hen 3-1428 = IRAS 17311-4924, and LSS 4634 = IRAS 18023-3409. In the spectrograms taken with the 1.9-m telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) in 2012, we have measured the equivalent widths of the most prominent spectral lines. Comparison of the new data with those published previously points to a change in the spectra of Hen 3-1428 and LSS 4634 in the last 20 years. Based on ASAS data, we have detected rapid photometric variability in all three stars with an amplitude up to 0 _· ^m 3-0 _· ^m 4 in the V band. A similarity between the patterns of variability for the sample stars and other hot protoplanetary nebulae is pointed out. We present the results of UBV observations for Hen 3-1347, according to which the star undergoes rapid irregular brightness variations with maximum amplitudes ΔV = 0 _· ^m 25, ΔB = 0 _· ^m 25, and ΔU = 0 _· ^m 30 and shows color-magnitude correlations. Based on archival data, we have traced the photometric history of the stars over more than 100 years. Hen 3-1347 and LSS 4634 have exhibited a significant fading on a long time scale. The revealed brightness and spectrum variations in the stars, along with evidence for their enhanced mass, may be indicative of their rapid post-AGB evolution.  相似文献   

Results of a long-term monitoring of the multiple system SZ Cam     

S. Yu. Gorda 《Astronomy Letters》2015,41(6):276-288

We present the results of the reduction of our photometric and spectroscopic observations for the eclipsing binary SZ Cam performed with the telescopes at the Astronomical Observatory of the Ural Federal University and the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1996–2014. Based on an 11-year-long photometric monitoring of SZ Cam, we have obtained new elements of its photometric orbit and parameters of its components. We have detected low-amplitude periodic light variations in SZ Cam that are possibly related to the ellipsoidal shape of the components of the spectroscopic binary third body. Based on published data and our new spectroscopy, we have found new values for the mass ratio, q = 0.72 ± 0.01, and parameters of the radial velocity curves of the components, V ₀ = ?3.6 ± 1.7 km s^?1, K ₁ = 190.2 ± 1.9 km s^?1, and K ₂ = 263.0 ± 2.4 km s^?1. The component masses have been estimated to be M ₁ = 16.1 M _⊙ and M ₂ = 11.6 M _⊙. We have obtained new light elements and parameters of the radial velocity curves for the third body, V ₀ ^3b = 4.2 ± 0.6 km s^?1 and K ₁ ^3b = 26.6 ± 0.8 km s^?1. We have improved the period of the relative orbit of SZ Cam and the third body, P _orb = 55.6 ± 1.5 yr.  相似文献   

A study of the B[e] star AS 160     

A. S. Miroshnichenko  V. G. Klochkova  K. S. Bjorkman 《Astronomy Letters》2003,29(5):336-343

We present the results of our study of the poorly known B[e] star AS 160=IRAS 07370-2438. The high-resolution spectrum obtained with the 6-m BTA telescope exhibits strong emission in the Hα line with a two-component profile, indicating that the gaseous envelope of the star is nonspherical. Previously nonanalyzed photometric data suggest the presence of a compact dust envelope. The fundamental parameters of the star (log L/L_⊙ = 4.4 ± 0.2, v sin i = 200 km s^?1 and its distance (3.5±0.5 kpc) have been determined for the first time and are in agreement with published estimates of the MK spectral type of the object (B1.5 V:). Analysis of the object's properties leads us to suggest that this is a binary system that belongs to our recently identified type of Be stars with warm dust.  相似文献   

Spectrometric and photometric study of the eclipsing variable AM Leo     

S. Yu. Gorda 《Astrophysical Bulletin》2016,71(1):64-74

The results of quasi-simultaneous spectroscopic and photometric observations of a W UMatype eclipsing variable star AM Leo are presented. The observations were carried out with a 1.2-m telescope equipped with a high-resolution echelle spectrometer, and a telescope-reflector (D = 0.45m) of the Kourovka Astronomical Observatory of Ural Federal University. New values of semi-amplitudes of the radial velocity curves of the components, K₁ = 109.6kms^?1 and K₂ = 252.4kms^?1 and the systemic radial velocity V₀ =-9.3 kms^?1 are obtained, comparable to the data published in the literature. The semi-amplitude of the radial velocity curve of a more massive component K₁ and the mass ratio of the components q = 0.412 appeared to be slightly smaller than the values obtained by other authors. An assumption wasmade that a possible reason of this is the presence of hot and/or cold spots on the surface of the components, shifting the effective center of brightness of the visible disk of the component with respect to its center of mass position. It was shown that the AM Leo light curve variations on the time scales of one and more days, registered within the photometric part of the study may be described by the choice of appropriate model of the spot structure.  相似文献   

Photoelectric and spectroscopic observations of the binary star VV8=V471 Per over the period 1971–2007     

V. P. Arkhipova  V. F. Esipov  R. I. Noskova  N. P. Ikonnikova  G. V. Komissarova 《Astronomy Letters》2008,34(12):839-850

We present our photoelectric observations of the binary star VV8=V471 Per over the period 1971–2007. A long-term photometric variability with a period of about 17 yr in the V and B bands has been confirmed. A systematic rise in brightness was recorded in the U band, suggesting that the gas ionization increases in the binary system. Our spectroscopic observations from 1995 to 2007 have shown that the emission line fluxes, on average, did not change compared to the data of other authors obtained in the previous decades. We have shown that the cool giant is a G5III star and is probably enriched with nucleosynthesis products from the evolved former primary component of the binary. We provide arguments for the hypothesis that the hot component in V471 Per is the massive nucleus of a young planetary nebula that rapidly evolved to a temperature of 65 000–75 000 K, while the surrounding nebula is very dense and optically thick and has not yet been entirely ionized.  相似文献
