Abstract

The symbiotic star AG Peg is a nebulous binary system that consists of giant star (GS) and white dwarf (WD). We investigated the HI Balmer emission lines of the symbiotic nova AG Peg, observed in 1998, 2001, and 2002 at Lick Observatory. The $H{\alpha}$ and $H{\beta}$ line profiles consist of blue-shifted, red-shifted, and broad components of which intensities and width showed notable changes. The HI emission line profiles that represent the kinematics of the gaseous nebula appear to be mainly from an accretion disk in relatively large radius from the WD. Considering the line of an observer's sight, both GS and WD are located at the sky plane side by side during the 1998 observation, while the WD is in front of GS during 2002 but the WD in rear during 2001. Such a relative position and the spectral line intensity variation imply that a fairly constant outflow occurs into WD from GS which caused to maintain the rotating thick accretion disk structure responsible for the observed spectral lines.

공생별 AG Peg는 적색거성(GS)과 백색왜성(WD)으로 구성된 성운으로 둘러싸인 쌍성계이다. AG Peg의 분광자료는 1998년, 2001년, 그리고 2002년의 세 시기에 미국 Lick 천문대에서 관측한 자료로 HI 발머 방출선 자료를 분석하였다. AG Peg의 선세기와 폭은 각 시기에 따라 변하는데, $H{\alpha}$와 $H{\beta}$ 선에서 모두 청색편이, 적색편이, 넓은 폭 성분이 나타났다. 가스 성운의 운동학적 특성을 보여주는 방출선은 WD주변에 형성된 강착원반의 반경이 매우 큼을 보여준다. 관측자의 시선 방향을 고려하면, 1998년 관측은 AG Peg의 GS와 WD가 나란히 하늘에 있는 반면, 2002년에는 WD가 GS의 전면에, 2001년에는 WD가 GS의 뒷면에 위치하였다. 이러한 상대적인 위치와 분광선의 변화를 고려하여, 우리는 GS에서 WD로의 가스유입이 지속적으로 이루어지고, 그 결과 형성된 두꺼운 원반의 회전이 관측된 분광선 윤곽의 형성을 가져온 것으로 결론지었다.
