狮子座CW星

狮子座CW星或称IRC +10216星,1969年由艾里克·贝克林英语Eric Becklin带领的天文学家团队在威尔逊山天文台首次观测到。此后,天文学家们对它进行了深入的研究。这是一颗由厚厚的尘埃包围着的碳星,位于狮子座。它不断地向外发射着自己的能量,这些能量绝大部分都是以红外线的方式发射的,尤其是在5μm波长处,它是目前发现的太阳系外最亮的天体。这也可能是当年使用加州理工学院的红外望远镜(62英寸或1.6米口径)才首次观测到它的原因吧。[6]

恒星状态

[编辑]

天文学家认为,CW LEO星正处于晚年阶段,它灰暗的大气层正在向太空飘散。在遥远的未来,大气层飘散殆尽,它将最终成为一颗白矮星。使用同位素比例方法可以确定,这颗星的初始质量为太阳质量的3到5倍,它的核心部分,也就是当它成为白矮星后的质量大约是太阳质量的0.7到0.9倍[7]。这颗星很亮,它的标称光度是太阳的11300倍,并且以649日的周期在6250到15800倍之间变化[4]

狮子座CW富含碳的大气层至少在69000年前就已经存在,目前正在以每年(1~4) × 10−5 太阳质量的速度流失[4]。已经流失的大气至少包含1.4倍太阳质量的物质[2]。从1999年开始的散斑观测显示,该星的充满尘埃的大气层有着复杂的结构,例如片段的弧状和不完整的球壳结构。该星有着类似于太阳周期的磁场周期变化,这可能是导致它大气复杂结构,以及质量损失率周期性增加的原因[8]

天文学家已在狮子座CW的飘散物质中发现多种元素和大约50种分子,其中包含分子、。有一种理论认为:这颗星曾经被很多彗星包围,当它开始向外飘散物质并辐射热量后,这些彗星熔化了,留下了这些元素和分子。但是,水分子的形成则不同,目前天文学家认为,在所有的碳星大气中,水都可以自然形成。

距离

[编辑]

如果狮子座CW星到太阳的距离为估算范围的下限,即120秒差距时,那么在它周围的大气层半径大约是84000天文单位。它和大气层大约以超过 91 km/s的速度在星际物质中通过[2]。而它的空间速度各分量为 [U, V, W] = [21.6 ± 3.9, 12.6 ± 3.5, 1.8 ± 3.3] km s−1[7]
