| Popis: | Several powerful outbursts have been observed during many years of observations of the symbiotic object MWC 560. The last active stage began in the autumn of 2018 and continues to the present. Observations of this event began at the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute at the beginning of 2019. In our previous article we published the results obtained in early 2019. A light curve of the object and emission line profiles are presented; it is noted that a broad absorption band formed in a high velocity collimated jet vanishes. In this article we present the results of further spectral and photometric observations of MWC 560. It is to be noted that in 2021 the brightness of this object is sustained at a high level exceeding that obtained during the previous outbursts. In addition, at the end of 2020 a tendency toward a gradual weakening of the radiative fluxes in the emission lines was remarked. The profiles of all the lines have absorption components shifted to the “blue” by 52±5 km/s. It may be assumed that during this outburst there was partial (or complete) destruction of the accretion disk, so that the source of the high velocity collimated jet vanished. The gradual reduction in the radiative fluxes in the emission lines may be caused by a drop in the power of ionizing radiation. |
