PI: Dr. Matthias Stute Eberhard Karls Universitat, Tubingen Y CoI: Dr. Raghvendra Sahai Jet Propulsion Laboratory Y ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract R Aqr is a well-known prototype for non-relativistic astrophysical jets. The R Aqr jet has been extensively observed in the ultraviolet, optical, and radio regimes. We propose to re-visit this enigmatic object with HST after twelve years, in order to measure the proper motions of its inner knots with unprecedented accuracy, to derive emission lines ratios for these knots, and to investigate the width of the jet at several distances from the jet source. We will compare the results with numerical models of radiative shocks in propagating jets and of jet formation models and will determine the kinematics of the jet, the history of ejection events and basic parameters of the jet engine as e.g. the launching radius of the jet-ejecting accretion disk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ All images will be obtained with the WFPC3 UVIS camera. We will use three different filters, namely [OI]6300 (F631N), Halpha6563 (F656N) and [NII]6548+6583 (F658N), in order to measure the emission line ratios in the jet knots and also the jet width along the full length of the jet, and the filter F502N for [OIII]5007 in order to follow up existing observations and measure the proper motion of knots in the jet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13339( 5) - 05-Oct-2014 22:22:48 - [ 2] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 V-R-AQR STAR, ACCRETION DISK, RA=23H43M49.4616S +/- 0.1", J2000 V = 7.69 INTERACTING BINARY, DEC=-15D17'4.20" +/- 0.1" JET, SYMBIOTIC STAR Reference Frame: ICRS Comments: This object was generated by the targetselector and retrieved from the SIMBAD database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13339( 5) - 05-Oct-2014 22:22:48 - [ 3] Patterns ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pattern_Number: 1 Primary_Pattern Secondary_Pattern Pattern_Type WFC3-UVIS-DITHER-BOX Pattern_Purpose DITHER Number_Of_Points 4 Point_Spacing 0.173 Line_Spacing 0.112 Coordinate_Frame POS-TARG Pattern_Orient 23.884 Angle_Between_Sides 81.785 Center_Pattern NO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pattern_Number: 2 Primary_Pattern Secondary_Pattern Pattern_Type WFC3-UVIS-DITHER-LINE Pattern_Purpose DITHER Number_Of_Points 2 Point_Spacing 0.145 Line_Spacing Coordinate_Frame POS-TARG Pattern_Orient 46.84 Angle_Between_Sides Center_Pattern NO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pattern_Number: 3 Primary_Pattern Secondary_Pattern Pattern_Type WFC3-UVIS-DITHER-LINE-3PT Pattern_Purpose DITHER Number_Of_Points 3 Point_Spacing 0.135 Line_Spacing Coordinate_Frame POS-TARG Pattern_Orient 46.84 Angle_Between_Sides Center_Pattern NO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13339( 5) - 05-Oct-2014 22:22:48 - [ 4] Visit: 01 Visit Requirements: ORIENT 38D TO 60 D;
