金牛座-御夫座T星协的恒星演化

The evolution of stars in the Taurus-Auriga T association

C. Bertout, L. Siess, S. Cabrit

摘要:

在最近的一项研究中,确定了金牛座-御夫座T星协中许多属于同一移动星群成员的恒星的个体视差。我们使用这些新的弛豫来重新解决经典金牛座T星(CTTS)和弱发射线金牛座T星(WTTTS)之间的关系的问题。在金牛座-御夫座天体中,有72颗恒星或恒星系统的光谱和光度信息,我们得到了可靠的光球光度,主要是从这些天体的Ic星等。然后,我们研究了恒星样品的质量和年龄分布,使用主序前演化模型来确定恒星样品的基本性质。统计检验和蒙特卡罗模拟,然后应用到研究的两个金牛座T子类的属性。我们发现,CTTS和WTTS样本来自相同的父母年龄和质量分布的概率是低的,CTTS,平均而言,比WTTS年轻。它们的质量也较小,但这是由于选择效应。观测到的金牛座T两个子类的质量和年龄分布可以在一个简单的磁盘演化模型的框架下理解,假设CTTS演变成WTTTS时,他们的磁盘完全吸积的恒星。根据这一经验模型,金牛座御夫座的平均盘寿命为410 **6(Mstar/Msun)**0.75年。

英文摘要:

In a recent study, individual parallaxes were determined for many stars of the Taurus-Auriga T association that are members of the same moving group. We use these new parallaxes to re-address the issue of the relationship between classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) and weak-emission line T Tauri stars (WTTSs). With the available spectroscopic and photometric information for 72 individual stars or stellar systems among the Taurus-Auriga objects with known parallaxes, we derived reliable photospheric luminosities, mainly from the Ic magnitude of these objects. We then studied the mass and age distributions of the stellar sample, using pre-main sequence evolutionary models to determine the basic properties of the stellar sample. Statistical tests and Monte Carlo simulations were then applied to studying the properties of the two T Tauri subclasses. We find that the probability of CTTS and WTTS samples being drawn from the same parental age and mass distributions is low; CTTSs are, on average, younger than WTTSs. They are also less massive, but this is due to selection effects. The observed mass and age distributions of both T Tauri subclasses can be understood in the framework of a simple disk evolution model, assuming that the CTTSs evolve into WTTSs when their disks are fully accreted by the stars. According to this empirical model, the average disk lifetime in Taurus-Auriga is 4 10**6 (Mstar/Msun)**0.75 yr.
