Raman-scattered O VI λ6825 and the accretion disk emission model in the symbiotic stars V1016 Cygni and HM Sagittae.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present the high-resolution spectra of the D-type symbiotic stars V1016 Cygni and HM Sagittae obtained with the Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) and investigate the double-peaked asymmetric profiles of the Raman scattered O VI λ6825 formed through Raman scattering of O VI λ1032 by atomic hydrogen. By adopting a wind accretion disk model, the O VI emission region is described by a Keplerian thin disk. The Raman scattering occurs in a neutral region near the giant, part of which is ionized by the strong UV radiation from the hot white dwarf. A Monte Carlo technique is used to compute the line profiles that are modulated by the slow spherical stellar wind from the giant component with the ionization front approximated by a hyperboloid. In order to account for the asymmetry and the central dip in the profiles, we add an O VI resonance scattering region between the hot white dwarf and the giant which hinders the incidence of slightly blue O VI photons upon the H I region. Overall good fits to the observed data are obtained from our model, which lends support to the accretion disk emission model. The best-fitting parameters for V1016 Cyg are vo=30 km/s, v=11 km/s, and vc=10 km/s, where vo, v, and vc are the velocity of the outer disk rim, the terminal velocity of the giant wind, and the velocity component of the resonance scattering O VI region along the binary axis, respectively. Similar fitting parameters vo=26 km/s, v=10 km/s, and vc=7 km/s are obtained for HM Sge.
