我们提出了早期的光谱观测非常缓慢的银河系新星Gaia 22 alz,在其逐渐上升到峰值亮度,持续了180天。在最初的50天内,当新星仅比正常亮度高3-4等时,光谱显示出H Balmer、Hei、Heii和Civi的窄(FWHM ≈ 400 km s-1)发射线,但没有天鹅座P吸收。几个星期后,高激发的Heii和Civlines消失了,Balmer、Hei和Feilines的天鹅座P轮廓出现了,产生了典型的经典新星在峰值之前的光谱。我们建议,早期(第50天)光谱的Gaia 22 alz,特别是发射线没有P天鹅座配置文件,产生在白色矮星的光学薄信封或吸积盘,再加工紫外线和潜在的X射线发射后,急剧增加的热核反应率的白色矮星,在一个阶段被称为“早期X射线/紫外线闪光”。如果这是真的,这将是早期X射线/紫外线闪光的光学特征被检测到的罕见时刻之一。虽然这个阶段在其他新星中可能只持续几个小时,因此很容易被错过,但在盖亚22阿尔兹却有可能被发现,因为它非常缓慢和逐渐上升,并且由于新的全天空巡天在检测其上升过程中的瞬变方面的效率。我们还考虑了其他可能解释Gaia 22 alz早期光谱特征及其逐渐上升的方案。
We present early spectral observations of the very slow Galactic nova Gaia22alz, over its gradual rise to peak brightness that lasted 180 d. During the first 50 d, when the nova was only 3–4 mag above its normal brightness, the spectra showed narrow (FWHM ≈ 400 km s−1) emission lines of H Balmer, Hei, Heii, and Civbut no P Cygni absorption. A few weeks later, the high-excitation Heiiand Civlines disappeared, and P Cygni profiles of Balmer, Hei, and eventually Feiilines emerged, yielding a spectrum typical of classical novae before peak. We propose that the early (first 50 d) spectra of Gaia22alz, particularly the emission lines with no P Cygni profiles, are produced in the white dwarf’s optically thin envelope or accretion disc, reprocessing ultraviolet and potentially X-ray emission from the white dwarf after a dramatic increase in the rate of thermonuclear reactions, during a phase known as the ‘early X-ray/UV flash’. If true, this would be one of the rare times that the optical signature of the early X-ray/UV flash has been detected. While this phase might last only a few hours in other novae and thus be easily missed, it was possible to detect in Gaia22alz due to its very slow and gradual rise and thanks to the efficiency of new all-sky surveys in detecting transients on their rise. We also consider alternative scenarios that could explain the early spectral features of Gaia22alz and its gradual rise.
