摘 要:We apply the jet-powered ILOT scenario to two recently studied intermediate luminosity optical transients(ILOTs),and find the relevant shell mass and jets’energy that might account for the outbursts of these *** the jet-powered ILOT scenario,an accretion disk around one of the stars of a binary system launches *** interaction of the jets with a previously ejected slow shell converts kinetic energy to thermal energy,part of which is radiated *** apply two models of the jet-powered ILOT *** the spherical shell model,the jets accelerate a spherical shell,while in the cocoon toy model the jets penetrate into the shell and inflate hot bubbles,the *** find consistent *** the ILOT(ILRT:intermediate luminosity red transient)SNhunt120 we find the shell mass and jets’energy to be Ms■0.5-1 M☉and E2 j■5×10^(47)erg,*** jets’half opening angle isαj■30°-60°.For the second peak of the ILOT(luminous red nova)AT 2014 ej we find these quantities to be Ms1-2 M☉and E2 j1.5×10^(48)erg,withαj■20°-30°.The models cannot tell whether these ILOTs were powered by a stellar merger that leaves one star,or by mass transfer where both stars *** both cases the masses of the shells and energies of the jets suggest that the binary progenitor system was massive,with a combined mass of M1+M210■M☉.
