Spectral analysis of O(He)-type post-AGB stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an analysis of two recently discovered, very hot hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars of spectral type O(He), namely HS 1522+6615 and HS 2209+8229, by means of state-of-the-art NLTE model atmospheres based on new optical, UV, and X-ray observations. In the spectra of HS 1522+6615 we discovered a variability of the O VI λ 5290Å line complex on a time scale of few days. We also report on the discovery of a ring structure in the planetary nebula K 1-27 which has an O(He)-type central star. We discuss how the group of O(He) stars fits in our picture of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stellar evolution.

In the course of the MUCHFUSS project we have recently discovered four radial velocity (RV) variable, hot (Teff ≈ 80 000−110 000 K) post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Among them, we found the first known RV variable O(He) star, the only second known RV variable PG 1159 close binary candidate, as well as the first two naked (i.e., without planetary nebula (PN)) H-rich post-AGB stars of sp...

متن کاملNew Spectral Analyses of Pre-white Dwarfs
The very hot, H-deecient PG 1159 stars are found in the post-AGB region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. Most likely the \born-again" post-AGB scenario is valid for their evolution. It predicts a nal He-ash which brings back the star to the AGB, followed by a second (He burning) descent from the AGB where a superwind may take oo the entire H-rich and most of the He-rich envelope and lay bare...
متن کاملO(he) Stars
Spectral analyses of H-deficient post-AGB stars have shown that a small group of four extremely hot objects exists which have almost pure He absorption-line spectra in the optical. These are classified as O(He) stars. For their evolution there are two scenarios: They could be the long-sought hot successors of RCrB stars, which have not been identified up to now. If this turns out to be true, th...
متن کاملThe Element Abundances in Bare Planetary Nebula Central Stars and the Shell Burning in AGB Stars
We review the observed properties of extremely hot hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars of spectral type [WC] and PG1159. Their H-deficiency is probably caused by a (very) late heliumshell flash or a AGB final thermal pulse, laying bare interior stellar regions which are usually kept hidden below the hydrogen envelope. Thus, the photospheric element abundances of these stars allow to draw conclusi...
