Modeling the Dust Shell of V4334 Sgr
نویسنده
چکیده
The central star V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s Nova) of the planetary nebula PN G010.4+04.4 underwent in 1995-1996 the rare event of a very late helium flash. It is only one of two such events during the era of modern astronomy (the second event was V605 Aql = Nova Aql 1919). All other prominent objects of that type originate from events several thousands of years ago (e.g. A30, A78). Hence, only snapshots can be modeled for those objects. V4334 Sgr allows for the first time a dynamic consideration of the formation of the dust shell from the beginning. We present here a model which is able to describe the complete photometric behavior of the object, including the fine structure dips of the optical light curve during the first two years of the mass loss and the dust formation.

Freshly ionized matter around the final Helium shell flash object V 4334 Sgr ( Sakurai ’ s object
We report on the discovery of recently ionized hydrogen-deficient gas in the immediate circumstellar environment of the final helium shell flash star V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s object). On spectra obtained with FORS2 multi-object spectroscopy we have found spatially extended (∼2) emission from [N II], [O I], [O II] and very faint Hα and [S II]. In the [N II] (λλ6548,83) lines we have identified two c...

We report the results of monitoring of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s Object) at 450μm and 850μm with scuba on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The flux density at both wavelengths has increased dramatically since 2001, and is consistent with continued cooling of the dust shell in which Sakurai’s Object is still enshrouded, and which still dominates the near-infrared emission. Assuming that the dust sh...

The optical photometric evolution of the final helium flash object V4334 Sgr from 1994 to 2000 is described. The rise to optical maximum (1994 – 1996) is characterized by a continuous increase of color indices, indicating a slowly expanding, cooling pseudo-photosphere. This photosphere became stationary in 1997. In the following years, the object underwent brightness declines of increasing stre...

Theoretical spectral energy distributions were computed for a grid of hydrogen-deficient and carbon-rich model atmospheres of Teff in the range of 5000− 6250 K and log g = 1.0− 0.0 by the technique of opacity sampling, taking into account continuous molecular band and atomic line absorption. These energy distributions were compared with the spectrum of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s object) from April, 1...
