摘要:

我们使用斯巴鲁望远镜上的带有自适应光学的日冕成像仪,提供了一个0.9”分离双星系统UY Aur的近红外图像。由于采用了自适应光学,我们的图像的空间分辨率在点扩散函数的半峰全宽中达到了~0.1”,这是我们所达到的最高分辨率。通过与以前的测量结果进行比较,我们估计该双星的轨道周期约为1640年,总质量约为1.73太阳质量。观测到的次级恒星的H波段星等在十年内变化高达1.3等,而初级恒星的H波段星等则相当稳定。这种不稳定性可能是由不均匀的吸积率或次级恒星的旋转引起的光球变化引起的。我们发现了一个半环形的环双星盘,它围绕着双星,有一个明亮的西南部分,但东北部分几乎检测不到。亮度比为~57。它的内径和倾角分别约为520 AU和42。星盘并不均匀,但具有显著的特征,包括沿星盘的球状结构、内部空腔内的拱星物质和延伸的臂状结构。空腔内的拱星物质可能对应于从盘吸积到双星上的团块或物质。臂状结构是圆盘的一部分,由圆盘外部区域的吸积或与其他恒星系统的碰撞产生。

英文摘要:

We present a near-infrared image of UY Aur, a 0.9" separated binary system, using the Coronagraphic Imager with Adaptive Optics on the Subaru Telescope. Thanks to adaptive optics, the spatial resolution of our image was ~0.1" in the full width at half maximum of the point spread function, the highest achieved. By comparison with previous measurements, we estimated that the orbital period is ~1640 yrs and the total mass of the binary is ~1.73 solar mass. The observed H-band magnitude of the secondary varies by as much as 1.3 mag within a decade, while that of the primary is rather stable. This inconstancy may arise from photospheric variability caused by an uneven accretion rate or from the rotation of the secondary. We detected a half-ring shaped circumbinary disk around the binary with a bright southwest part but a barely detectable northeast portion. The brightness ratio is ~57. Its inner radius and inclination are about 520 AU and 42, respectively. The disk is not uniform but has remarkable features, including a clumpy structure along the disk, circumstellar material inside the inner cavity, and an extended armlike structure. The circumstellar material inside the cavity probably corresponds to a clump or material accreting from the disk onto the binary. The armlike structure is a part of the disk, created by the accretion from the outer region of the disk or encounters with other stellar systems.
