4 May 2001 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 326 (2001) 781 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | VLA surface brightness and spectral index maps of the evolving extended emission of the triple symbiotic star CH Cygni are presented. These are derived from observations at 4.8, 8.4 and 14GHz between 1985 and 1999. The maps are dominated by thermal emission around the central bright peak of the nebula, but we also find unambiguous non-thermal emission associated with the extended regions. Our observations confirm that this is a jet. The central region has been associated with the stellar components through HST imaging. If the jets are due to ejection events at outburst, expansion velocities are consistent with those from other measurement methods. We propose that the non-thermal emission is caused by material ejected in the bipolar jets interacting with the circumstellar wind envelope. The resulting shocks lead to local enhancements in the magnetic field from the compact component of the order 3mG. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0105078 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
