摘要:

目的:年轻的爆发恒星猎户座V1647最近的爆发在猎户座(麦克尼尔星云)中产生了一个新的反射星云。我们提出了一个光学/近红外调查麦克尼尔星云。这项分析的目的是确定星云的形态、时间演变和性质及其与爆发的联系。方法:我们对McNeil星云和V1647猎户座进行了多历元B、V、R、I、z和K成像以及K_S偏振成像。多波段成像使我们能够重建星云内部的灭绝图。通过偏振观测,我们试图将星云的辐射与猎户座V1647周围的吸积盘的辐射分开。我们还试图解决照明源的小空间尺度结构。结果:麦克尼尔星云的能量分布和时间演化模拟了照明源的能量分布和时间演化。灭绝图显示了在V1647猎户座方向上的一个高度灭绝区域。不计前景消光,V1647猎户座方向的McNeil星云消光为A_V ~ 6.5等,偏振测量显示V1647猎户座附近有致密的高偏振辐射。K_S波段线极化率在10 - 20%之间。矢量都与北纬90 +/-9度的位置角对齐。这可能与V1647 Ori周围可能存在的吸积盘的方向相对应。这些发现表明,麦克尼尔星云的出现是由于V1647 Ori周围预先存在的物质对光线的光的反射。我们还报告了在V1647猎户座附近发现的一颗新的候选棕矮星或原恒星,以及HH 22 A内存在的星团结构。

英文摘要:

Aims: The recent outburst of the young eruptive star V1647 Orionis has produced a spectacular appearance of a new reflection nebula in Orion (McNeil's nebula). We present an optical/near infrared investigation of McNeil's nebula. This analysis is aimed at determining the morphology, temporal evolution and nature of the nebula and its connection to the outburst. Method: We performed multi epoch B, V, R, I, z, and K imaging of McNeil's nebula and V1647 Ori as well as K_S imaging polarimetry. The multiband imaging allows us to reconstruct the extinction map inside the nebula. Through polarimetric observations we attempt to disentangle the emission from the nebula from that of the accretion disk around V1647 Ori. We also attempt to resolve the small spatial scale structure of the illuminating source. Results: The energy distribution and temporal evolution of McNeil's nebula mimic that of the illuminating source. The extinction map reveals a region of higher extinction in the direction of V1647 Ori. Excluding foreground extionction, the optical extinction due to McNeil's nebula in the direction of V1647 Ori is A_V ~ 6.5 mag. The polarimetric measurement shows a compact high polarization emission around V1647 Ori. The percentage of K_S band linear polarization goes from 10 -- 20 %. The vectors are all well aligned with a position angle of 90 +/- 9 degree East of North. This may correspond to the orientation of a possible accretion disk around V1647 Ori. These findings suggest that the appearance of McNeil's nebula is due to reflection of light by pre-existing material in the surroundings of V1647 Ori. We also report on the discovery of a new candidate brown dwarf or protostar in the vicinity of V1647 Ori as well as the presence of clumpy structure within HH 22A.
