经典金牛T星的X射线软过剩

The X-ray soft excess in classical T Tauri stars

M. Guedel, A. Telleschi

摘要:

我们研究了在经典金牛座T星(CTTS)中OVII 21.6- 22.1 A三重态和OVIII Lya线之间的X射线通量(或光度)比的异常。与主序星和非吸积的金牛T星的比率相比,这个比率异常高(Telleschi et al. 2007)。我们比较这些样本以确定过量的来源。最近发现的X射线星与归因于喷流发射的软组件的样本也被认为是。我们讨论从金牛座分子云(XEST)项目的XMM-牛顿扩展巡天获得的数据,并辅之以已发表文献的数据。我们还介绍了CTTS RU Lup的数据。与WTTS或MS星相比,样品中的所有CTTS都显示出异常的OVII/OVIII通量比。异常是由于过量的冷,OVII发射材料,而不是缺乏较热的等离子体。因此,多余的等离子体必须具有<~2 MK的温度。这种软过剩与CTTS的紫外过剩无关,但似乎与恒星的X射线光度有关。喷气式飞机驾驶的TTS的频谱不适合这幅图。软过剩既取决于存在的吸积流在CTTS和磁活动。这些气体可能在地表附近被激波加热,但也可能在磁层吸积漏斗中被加热。射流驱动源的软成分不太可能是由于同一过程。

英文摘要:

We study an anomaly in the X-ray flux (or luminosity) ratio between the OVII 21.6-22.1A triplet and the OVIII Lya line seen in classical T Tauri stars (CTTS). This ratio is unusually high when compared with ratios for main-sequence and non-accreting T Tauri stars (Telleschi et al. 2007). We compare these samples to identify the source of the excess. A sample of recently discovered X-ray stars with a soft component attributed to jet emission is also considered. We discuss data obtained from the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST) project, complemented by data from the published literature. We also present data from the CTTS RU Lup. All CTTS in the sample show an anomalous OVII/OVIII flux ratio when compared with WTTS or MS stars. The anomaly is due to an excess of cool, OVII emitting material rather than a deficiency of hotter plasma. The excess plasma must therefore have temperatures of <~2 MK. This soft excess does not correlate with UV excesses of CTTS, but seems to be related with the stellar X-ray luminosity. The spectra of the jet-driving TTS do not fit into this picture. The soft excess depends both on the presence of accretion streams in CTTS and on magnetic activity. The gas may be shock-heated near the surface, although it may also be heated in the magnetospheric accretion funnels. The soft component of the jet-driving sources is unlikely to be due to the same process.
