AG Peg의 분광 관측과 Bowen 형광 기작의 효율 변화 = Spectroscopic Observation of AG Peg and Efficiency Changes of Bowen Fluorescence Mechanism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We investigated the H I, He II and O III emission lines of the symbiotic star AG Peg, using the spectroscopic data secured at different phases in three periods at the Lick Observatory. We measured FWHM and the intensity of six O III Bowen lines and studied the efficiency of fluorescence mechanism. The mean FWHM of O III normal and Bowen lines observed during three time periods did not make much difference, while Bowen line intensities are about 4.0 times higher than the normal lines. Comparing the predicted and the observed ratios, we found that the observed intensities are higher than predicted intensities, except for O III λ 3759.87. The O III λ 3791.26 and 3754.67 intensity ratios observed only in 2001 are in good agreement with the predictions by Saraph and Seaton (1980). We obtained the Bowen efficiency parameter (R)=0.47 for 2002, but we could not find R for the other two periods of time. Because of this, based on the 2002 efficiency result, we calculated the intensity ratio of O III normal and Bowen lines relative to He II λ 4685.68 and derive the efficiency variation with time period. The result showed that the efficiency is the highest in 1998 and the lowest in 2001. We conclude that the efficiencies with phase are caused by the electron temperature changes in the ionized gas. The efficiencies of AG Peg are likely to increase along with electron temperature. Our analysis results may be useful in understanding the physical conditions of the ionized shell in symbiotic star and the intensity ratio and efficiency variation.

미국 Lick 천문대에서 위상이 다른 세 시기에 공생별 AG Peg을 분광 관측하고 방출선 H I, He II, O III를 조사하였다. 6개의 O III Bowen 선의 FWHM과 선세기를 측정하고 형광 기작 효율을 연구하였다. 세 시기의 O III 일반선과 Bowen 선의 평균 FWHM은 큰 차이가 없었으나 선세기 비는 약 4.0 배 정도로 O III Bowen 선이 높았다. O III Bowen 선의 이론적 세기 비와 관측 세기 비를 비교한 결과, O III λ 3759.87만 제외하고 관측한 세기가 이론적 세기보다 크다는 사실을 알았다. O III λ 3791.26과 3754.67의 선세기 비는 세 시기 중에서 2001년도만이 Saraph and Seaton (1980)의 모델과 잘 일치하였다. 다른 두 시기는 AG Peg의 효율(R)을 구할 수 없었으나 2002년은 R=0.47을 얻었다. 이 때문에, 2002년 효율 결과를 기초로 He II λ 4685.68에 대한 O III 일반선과 Bowen 선의 세기 비를 구하여 시기에따른 효율 변화를 알아보았다. 그 결과 AG Peg의 효율은 1998년이 가장 높았고 2001년이 가장 낮았다. 결론적으로, 위상에 따른 효율 변화는 이온화된 가스의 전자 온도 변화에 기인하는데, AG Peg의 효율은 전자 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하고 있다. 우리 연구 결과는 선세기 비 및 효율의 경향성 파악과 공생별에서 이온화된 껍질의 물리적 조건을이해하는데 사용될 수 있다.
