Infall and SiO emission in V838 Mon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present moderate and high resolution infrared spectroscopy of the peculiar eruptive variable V838 Mon, which underwent a series of remarkable outbursts in early 2002. During the period covered by our observations, 2002 December–2003 December, the near-infrared spectrum continued to show many of the characteristics of a very cool supergiant. However, throughout this period the spectrum also revealed strong and variable SiO first overtone emission, and Paβ emission. The 2003 December spectrum contained a series of Ti i lines with inverse P Cygni profiles. This is clear evidence that some material is falling inward towards the star.

Observations of V838 Mon in the CO rotational transitions
Aims. We investigate the structure of a field around the position of V838 Mon as seen in the lowest CO rotational transitions. We also measure and analyse emission in the same lines at the position of V838 Mon. Methods. Observations have primarily been done in the 12CO J = 2→1 and J = 3→2 lines using the KOSMA telescope. A field of 3.4 squared degrees has been mapped in the on-the-fly mode in t...
متن کاملThe Continued Optical to Mid-infrared Evolution of V838 Monocerotis
The eruptive variable V838 Monocerotis (V838 Mon) gained notoriety in 2002 when it brightened nine magnitudes in a series of three outbursts and then rapidly evolved into an extremely cool supergiant. We present optical, near-infrared (near-IR), and mid-IR spectroscopic and photometric observations of V838 Mon obtained between 2008 and 2012 at the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m, NASA IRTF 3 m, ...
متن کاملXmm-newton Detection of a Delayed X-ray Eruption from V838 Monocerotis
We report the XMM-Newton/EPIC detection in 2008 March of a pair of spatially confused X-ray sources in the vicinity of the enigmatic star V838 Mon, which underwent a spectacular outburst in early 2002. Spectral/spatial analysis demonstrates the presence of a relatively hard (TX ∼ 1.5×10 7 K), luminous (LX ∼ 10 32 erg s) source that is spatially coincident with V838 Mon itself, and a second, mor...
متن کاملExtended CO emission in the field of the light echo of V838 Monocerotis
Context. V838 Mon erupted at the beginning of 2002 becoming an extremely luminous star with L=106 L⊙. The outburst was followed by the most spectacular light echo that revealed that the star is immersed in a diffuse and dusty medium, plausibly interstellar in nature. Low angular resolution observations of the star and its closest vicinity in the lowest CO rotational transitions revealed a molec...
متن کاملObservations of V 838 Mon and the nearby region in the CO J = 1 → 0 , 2 → 1 and 3 → 2 transitions
We present observations of V838 Mon and its close vicinity in the three lowest rotational transitions of CO. The J = 2→1 and 3→2 data were obtained using the 3 m KOSMA telescope. They include on-the-fly maps covering a large area (∼3.4 sq. deg.) around V838 Mon and long integrations on the star position. Complementary observations in the CO J = 1→0 transition were obtained using the 13.7 m Deli...
