A Study of an Outburst in the Classical Symbiotic Star Z And in a Colliding-Wind Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional gas-dynamical modeling of the mass-flow structure is used to study the outburst development in the classical symbiotic star Z And. The stage-by-stage rise of the light during the outburst can be explained in the framework of the colliding winds model. We suggest a scenario for the development of the outburst and study the possible influence of the changes of the flow structure on the light of the system. The model variations of the luminosity due to the formation of a system of shocks are in good agreement with the observed light variations.

Complex wind dynamics and ionization structure in symbiotic binaries
Aspects of the wind-dynamics in symbiotic binaries, colliding winds and accretion, are reviewed. Inconsistencies between theory and observations of the hot star wind are discussed. If the hot star wind were governed by CAK theory, nearly all symbiotics would be colliding wind binaries. For the case of colliding winds, 3D hydrodynamical simulations reveal that the matter distribution is spirally...
متن کاملA “combination Nova” Outburst in Z Andromedae: Nuclear Shell Burning Triggered by a Disk Instability
We describe observational evidence for a new kind of interacting-binary-star outburst that involves both an accretion instability and an increase in thermonuclear shell burning on the surface of an accreting white dwarf. We refer to this new type of eruption as a combination nova. In late 2000, the prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae brightened by roughly two magnitudes in the optical. We ...
متن کاملOPTIMAL DESIGN OF JACKET SUPPORTING STRUCTURES FOR OFFSHORE WIND TURBINES USING ENHANCED COLLIDING BODIES OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM
Structural optimization of offshore wind turbine structures has become an important issue in the past years due to the noticeable developments in offshore wind industry. However, considering the offshore wind turbines’ size and environment, this task is outstandingly difficult. To overcome this barrier, in this paper, a metaheuristic algorithm called Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization...
متن کاملMASS EJECTION FROM THE SYMBIOTIC PROTOTYPE Z And DURING ITS 2006 OUTBURST
High-resolution spectroscopic observations in the region of the Balmer Hα and Hγ lines of the symbiotic binary Z And were performed during its major eruption in 2006. The Hα line had additional satellite high-velocity components situated on either side of its central peak which indicated bipolar collimated outflow from the compact object. The Hγ line presented three components, consisting of a ...
متن کاملA radio jet in the prototypical symbiotic star Z And ?
As part of a multi-wavelength campaign to observe the 2000–2002 outburst of the prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae, we observed this object six times each with the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and Very Large Array (VLA). The radio flux varied significantly during the course of the optical outburst at all three observation frequencies (1.4, 5, and 15 GHz). A j...
