摘要

HST 巡天中探测到的 94 个喷发新星与 41 个 HST 档案探测到的新星结合在一起，提供了整个 M87 的分布情况。星系的图像被分成了十个相等的楔形，每个楔形中的新星数量都被计算在内（见图，青色和粉色直方图分别表示最近巡天和合并巡天中每个楔形中的新星数量）。结果发现有 25 个新星位于与喷流对齐的楔形区内，而在其他楔形区内发现的新星不足 16 个。根据K波段表面亮度模拟的新星分布与均匀性的偏差不超过10%。与喷流对齐或不对齐的新星在性质上没有统计学差异，因此新星增强的因果关系尚不清楚。喷流产生的冲击波可能会提高白矮星的吸积率，或者喷流可能会引发沿途恒星的形成，但后一种解释无法解释在靠近M87的反喷流处没有看到新星增强的现象。也许最近有一颗卫星沿着喷流方向吸积，导致恒星过剩。还需要进一步观测。

期刊介绍： Nature Astronomy, the oldest science, has played a significant role in the history of Nature. Throughout the years, pioneering discoveries such as the first quasar, exoplanet, and understanding of spiral nebulae have been reported in the journal. With the introduction of Nature Astronomy, the field now receives expanded coverage, welcoming research in astronomy, astrophysics, and planetary science. The primary objective is to encourage closer collaboration among researchers in these related areas. Similar to other journals under the Nature brand, Nature Astronomy boasts a devoted team of professional editors, ensuring fairness and rigorous peer-review processes. The journal maintains high standards in copy-editing and production, ensuring timely publication and editorial independence. In addition to original research, Nature Astronomy publishes a wide range of content, including Comments, Reviews, News and Views, Features, and Correspondence. This diverse collection covers various disciplines within astronomy and includes contributions from a diverse range of voices.
