摘要:

我们已经获得了斯皮策IRS的5.5 - 35微米光谱的碎片盘周围的β Picture。除了最初从地面观察到的10微米硅酸盐发射特征外,我们还检测到28微米和33.5微米的结晶硅酸盐发射带。这是第一次在β Picardiac盘中看到波长超过10微米的硅酸盐带。所观察到的尘埃排放是很好地再现由蓬松的彗星和结晶橄榄石聚集体组成的尘埃模型。我们搜索了分子氢和原子[S I],Fe II和Si II气体的线发射,但没有检测到。假设激发温度Tex = 100 K,我们将H2 S(1)气体质量的3 σ上限设为<17个地球质量。这表明,这个系统中的气体比形成木星外壳所需的气体要少。我们假设,一些原子Na I气体中观察到的开普勒旋转β Picture周围可能产生的光子激发解吸从拱星尘埃颗粒。

英文摘要:

We have obtained Spitzer IRS 5.5 - 35 micron spectroscopy of the debris disk around beta Pictoris. In addition to the 10 micron silicate emission feature originally observed from the ground, we also detect the crystalline silicate emission bands at 28 micron and 33.5 micron. This is the first time that the silicate bands at wavelengths longer than 10 micron have ever been seen in the beta Pictoris disk. The observed dust emission is well reproduced by a dust model consisting of fluffy cometary and crystalline olivine aggregates. We searched for line emission from molecular hydrogen and atomic [S I], Fe II, and Si II gas but detected none. We place a 3 sigma upper limit of <17 Earth masses on the H2 S(1) gas mass, assuming an excitation temperature of Tex = 100 K. This suggests that there is less gas in this system than is required to form the envelope of Jupiter. We hypothesize that some of the atomic Na I gas observed in Keplerian rotation around beta Pictoris may be produced by photon-stimulated desorption from circumstellar dust grains.
