Titolo: | Follow-up observations of X-ray emitting hot subdwarf stars: the compact He-poor sdO star Feige 34 | Autori: | LA PALOMBARA, NICOLA MEREGHETTI, Sandro ESPOSITO, PAOLO TIENGO, ANDREA |
Data pubblicazione: | 2019 | Rivista: | ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS | Abstract: | We report on results obtained with the XMM-Newton observation of Feige 34 carried out in April 2018. This is the first spectroscopic X-ray observation of a compact and helium-poor hot subdwarf star. The source was detected at a flux level fX = 3.4 × 10^(−14) erg cm^(−2) s^(−1) in the energy range 0.2–3 keV, which implies an X-ray-to-bolometric flux ratio fX/fbol ≃ 10^(−6.5). The source spectrum can be described with the sum of two thermal-plasma components with subsolar abundances at temperatures of ≃0.3 and 1.1 keV. These properties are similar to what is observed in early-type main-sequence stars, where the X-ray emission is attributed to turbulence and shocks in the stellar wind. Therefore, the same phenomenon could explain the X-ray properties of Feige 34. However, it is not possible to reproduce the observed spectrum with a thermal-plasma model if the elemental abundances are fixed at the values obtained from the optical and UV spectroscopy. Moreover, we show that the X-ray luminosity and spectrum are consistent with those expected from a young main-sequence star of late spectral type. Therefore, we discuss the possibility that the observed X-ray emission is due to the companion star of M0 spectral type, whose presence is suggested by the IR excess in the spectral energy distribution of Feige 34. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29932 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2019/06/aa35339-19/aa35339-19.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/201935339 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019A&A...626A..29L | Fulltext: | open |
