摘要:

2 MASS J11011926-7732383 AB(以下简称2 M1101 AB),位于茶I星形成区,是一颗罕见的宽距棕矮星双星。利用XMM-Newton和Chandra对2 M1101 AB的观测,研究了物理参数(质量、辐射热光度和有效温度)对一对同时代的亚恒星天体的X射线发射的影响。XMM-Newton的空间分辨率不足以分离二进制中两个分量的贡献。用XMM-牛顿检测的X射线源具有与组分A的红外消光相容的柱密度。另一方面,用钱德拉望远镜对双星进行了分辨,大部分的X射线发射明显与光球层较冷的B分量有关。这些明显矛盾的结果表明,2 M1101的X射线发射具有很强的可变性。结合以前敏感的X射线观测的低质量成员的ChaI,我们发现的X射线光度下降,减少(子)恒星质量是典型的恒星形成区。2 M1101 B是迄今为止在X射线中探测到的最冷(光谱类型M8.25)和质量最小的Cha I褐矮星。它也是最年轻(约100万年)的Chai亚恒星成员之一,因此相对明亮。大多数真正的茶I棕矮星都保持在现有X射线观测的灵敏度极限以下,因为它们的亮度较低,年龄较高。

英文摘要:

2MASS J11011926-7732383 AB (hereafter 2M1101AB), located in the Cha I star forming region, is a rare wide-separation brown dwarf binary. XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of 2M1101AB have allowed us to examine the influence of physical parameters (mass, bolometric luminosity and effective temperature) on X-ray emission from a coeval pair of substellar objects. The spatial resolution of XMM-Newton is not sufficient to separate contributions from the two components in the binary. The X-ray source detected with XMM-Newton has a column density compatible with the infrared extinction of component A. On the other hand, the binary is resolved with Chandra, and the bulk of the X-ray emission is clearly associated with the photospherically cooler component B. These apparently contradictory results point at strong variability of 2M1101's X-ray emission. Combined with previous sensitive X-ray observations from low-mass members of ChaI, we find a decline of X-ray luminosity with decreasing (sub)stellar mass that is typical for star forming regions. 2M1101B is the coolest (spectral type M8.25) and least massive brown dwarf of ChaI detected in X-rays so far. It is also among the youngest (~1 Myr) substellar ChaI members, and therefore relatively luminous. Most bona fide brown dwarfs of Cha I have remained below the sensitivity limits of available X-ray observations, because of their low luminosity associated with higher age.
