Astr. di Tor | | Abstract: | We report optical observations of the VY Scl star BZ Cam during its previous optical low state in 1999/2000. We find drastic variations in the line profiles. Narrow-band imaging observations show that its nebula extends farther than previously known and seems to be composed of two components. We determine the [OIII] line intensity of BZ Cam’s nebula to 4.8 * 10^-13 erg/cm^2/s. We discover a proper motion of BZ Cam of 25+-2 mas/yr which together with the systemic radial velocity yields a space velocity of 125 km/s. We re-interpret the nebula as being photo-ionized by hypothesized transient, luminous, supersoft X-ray emission during optical low states, and shaped by the transverse motion of BZ Cam. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0107405 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
