论文摘要

基于Gaia DR2数据库选择的白矮星的光谱观测显示,九个新的气态碎片盘绕了单个白色矮人恒星,比以前已知的样品增加了两倍。对于每个来源,我们呈现鉴定的气体发射线和基本的恒星参数,包括低分辨率光谱的线的丰度。原则发现包括:(1)带有气盘的最酷的白矮人(Teff〜12,720 K);据报道,这颗恒星WD0145+234正在发生最近的红外爆发。 (2)从多个元素的气态发射速度空间中的共同点,表明不同的元素被充分混合; (3)针对SDSSJ0006+2858的高度不对称发射结构,以及其他两个系统的不对称结构; (4)总体样本由大约25%dB和75%的Da白矮人组成,与现场种群中原发性大气类型的总体分布一致; (5)在GAIAJ0611-6931光谱中,从未看到的发射线,Semi Forbidden Mg,CA和Fe线的WD0842+572和Fe线中的Si和Fe线。目前已知的气态碎片盘系统样品显着偏向北半球的恒星,这表明在南半球正在等待十几个发射线星星。

Optical spectroscopic observations of white dwarf stars selected from catalogs based on the Gaia DR2 database reveal nine new gaseous debris disks that orbit single white dwarf stars, about a factor of two increase over the previously known sample. For each source we present gas emission lines identified and basic stellar parameters, including abundances for lines seen with low-resolution spectroscopy. Principle discoveries include: (1) the coolest white dwarf (Teff~12,720 K) with a gas disk; this star, WD0145+234, has been reported to have undergone a recent infrared outburst; (2) co-location in velocity space of gaseous emission from multiple elements, suggesting that different elements are well-mixed; (3) highly asymmetric emission structures toward SDSSJ0006+2858, and possibly asymmetric structures for two other systems; (4) an overall sample composed of approximately 25% DB and 75% DA white dwarfs, consistent with the overall distribution of primary atmospheric types found in the field population; and (5) never-before-seen emission lines from Na in the spectra of GaiaJ0611-6931, semi-forbidden Mg, Ca, and Fe lines toward WD0842+572, and Si in both stars. The currently known sample of gaseous debris disk systems is significantly skewed towards northern hemisphere stars, suggesting a dozen or so emission line stars are waiting to be found in the southern hemisphere.
