Cep　OB4恒星形成区的IRAS观测     

罗绍光 《中国天文和天体物理学报》1995,(2)

对恒星形成区ＣｅｐＯＢ４的ＩＲＡＳ观测结果的详细分析和研究表明，与年轻星团Ｂｅ５９相联系的分子云物质的原始分布是高度成块的。Ｂｅ５９诞生于一个平均密度为１００─２００ｃｍ（－３）云的背向太阳一侧。强烈的电离辐射以及星风已经在其诞生地产生了一个半径大约为５ｐｃ的＂水泡型（Ｂｌｉｓｔｅｒ）＂电离氢区及与之相关的红外源。电离辐射也穿过云际介质到达与母云分离的另两个云的表面，形成了从侧面看到的电离波前及被压缩和加热的中性物质壳。在这个恒星形成区中，虽然有大量年轻恒星存在，但大质量恒星的形成已经停止。红外发射主要起源于标准尘埃粒子的热平衡发射。但在主激发星团Ｂｅ５９附近的ＨＩＩ区中２５μｍ发射的显著增强可能与某种与电离气体相混合的新型尘埃粒子有关。  相似文献

SINFONI observations of starclusters in starburst galaxies     

Lowell E. Tacconi-Garman   《New Astronomy Reviews》2006,49(10-12):569

We have used ESO’s new NIR IFS SINFONI during its Science Verification period to observe the central regions of local starburst galaxies. Being Science Verification observations, the aim was 2-fold: to demonstrate SINFONI’s capabilities while obtaining information on the nature of starclusters in starburst galaxies. The targets chosen include a number of the brighter clusters in NGC1808 and NGC253. Here we present first results.  相似文献   

Seismic signatures of strange stars with crust     

A. I. Chugunov 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2006,371(1):363-368

We study acoustic oscillations (eigenfrequencies, velocity distributions, damping times) of normal crusts of strange stars. These oscillations are very specific because of huge density jump at the interface between the normal crust and the strange matter core. The oscillation problem is shown to be self-similar. For a low (but non-zero) multipolarity l , the fundamental mode (without radial nodes) has a frequency of ∼300 Hz and mostly horizontal oscillation velocity; other pressure modes have frequencies ≳20 kHz and almost radial oscillation velocities. The latter modes are similar to radial oscillations (having approximately the same frequencies and radial velocity profiles). The oscillation spectrum of strange stars with crust differs from the spectrum of neutron stars. If detected, acoustic oscillations would allow one to discriminate between strange stars with crust and neutron stars and constrain the mass and radius of the star.  相似文献   

A deficit of type I X-ray bursts from low-accretion-rate binaries: Data from the TTM/COMIS telescope onboard the Mir-Kvant observatory     

A. N. Emelyanov  V. A. Aref’ev  E. M. Churazov  M. R. Gilfanov  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2001,27(12):781-789

We analyze 175 sessions of Galactic-center observations with the TTM/COMIS telescope onboard the Mir-Kvant observatory from 1987 until 1998. Because of its wide field of view (～ 15°×15°), much of the Galaxy and, hence, a large number of X-ray sources were simultaneously within the telescope aperture. During the observations, 47 X-ray bursts were detected, 33 of which are most likely type I bursts related to unstable helium burning on the surfaces of neutron stars. All the detected type I bursts were identified with known X-ray sources; the pre-and post-burst luminosities of these sources measured with the TTM telescope were high. No bursts were detected from voids, i.e., from sources whose luminosities in quiescence did not exceed the TTM detection threshold. This result allows us to constrain the combination of the number of binary sources with low accretion rates and the properties of X-ray bursts from such sources, in particular, the peak luminosity during bursts and the frequency of their occurrence.  相似文献   

X-ray binaries     

N. E. White 《Astronomy and Astrophysics Review》1989,1(1):85-110

Summary The various types and classes of X-ray binary are reviewed high-lighting recent results. The high mass X-ray binaries (HMXRBs) can be used to probe the nature of the mass loss from the OB star in these systems. Absorption measurements through one orbital cycle of the supergiant system X1700-37 are well modelled by a radiation driven wind and also require a gas stream trailing behind the X-ray source. In Cen X-3 the gas stream is accreted by the X-ray source via an accretion disk. Changes in the gas stream can cause the disk to thicken and the disk to obscure the X-ray source. How close the supergiant is to corotation seems to be as much a critical factor in these systems as how close it is to filling its Roche lobe. In the Be star X-ray binaries a strong correlation between the neutron stars rotation period and its orbital period has been explained as due to the neutron star being immersed in a dense, slow moving equatorial wind from the Be star. For the X-ray pulsars in the transient Be X-ray binaries a centrifugal barrier to accretion is important in determining the X-ray lightcurve and the spin evolution. The X-ray orbital modulations from the low mass X-ray binaries, LMXRBs, include eclipses by the companion and/or periodic dipping behaviour from structure at the edge of the disk. The corresponding optical modulations show a smooth sinusoidal like component and in some cases a sharp eclipse by the companion. The orbital period of the LMXRB XB1916-05 is 1% longer in the optical compared to that given by the X-ray dip period. The optical period has been interpreted as the orbital period, but this seems inconsistent with the well established view of the origin of the X-ray modulations in LMXRB. A new model is presented that assumes the X-ray dip period is the true orbital period. The 5.2 h eclipsing LMXRB XB2129+47 recently entered a low state and optical observations unexpectedly reveal an F star which is too big to fit into the binary. This is probably the first direct evidence that an X-ray binary is part of a hierarchical triple. Finally the class of X-ray binaries containing black hole candidates is reviewed focusing on the value of using X-ray signatures to identify new candidates.  相似文献   

An estimate of the supernova kick velocities for high-mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud     

M. J. Coe 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2005,358(4):1379-1382

This work investigates the possible supernova kick velocities imposed on high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Comparisons are made between the location of such systems and the locations of young stellar clusters on the premise that these may represent the birthplace of many of these systems. Measurements of the separation of clusters and HMXBs, and an estimate of the typical lifetimes of these systems, lead to a minimum average space velocity of 30 km s⁻¹. This value is compared to theoretical estimates.  相似文献   

Fallback Disk-Involved Spin-Down of Young Radio Pulsars     

Zi-Bo Jiang  Xiang-Dong Li Department of Astronomy  Nanjing University  Nanjing   《中国天文和天体物理学报》2005,5(5):487-494

Disks originating from supernova fallback have been suggested to surround young neutron stars. Interaction between the disk and the magnetic field of the neutron star may considerably influence the evolution of the star through the so called propeller effect. There are many controversies about the efficiency of the propeller mechanism proposed in the literature. We investigate the fallback disk-involved spin-down of young pulsars. By comparing the simulated and measured results of pulsar evolution, we present some possible constraints on the propeller torques exerted by the disks on neutron stars.  相似文献
