在1300万年前的英仙座h和chi中发现气体吸积到恒星上

Discovery of Gas Accretion Onto Stars in 13 Myr old h and chi Persei

摘要:

我们报道了在英仙座h和chi中发现的与~ 1300万年前的中/低质量恒星有关的吸积盘。这些星团中约5000颗恒星的光谱和周围的晕群揭示了32颗具有H(α)发射的A-K恒星。将这些恒星与2 MASS和光学测光相匹配,得到了25颗拥有最高可能性的星团成员资格和EW(H(alpha))> 5埃的恒星。这些源中有16个具有EW(H(alpha))> 10埃。吸积源的数量与光谱类型有很强的相关性:吸积的H(alpha)发射特征,特别是强吸积(EW(H(alpha))> 10埃),在G 0之后的恒星周围更为普遍。来自吸积的强H(α)发射通常与更红的Ks-[8]颜色有关。英仙座h星和英仙座chi星中存在吸积的前主序星,这意味着某些系统中的星周气体,特别是那些原色晚于G5光谱型的系统,可以持续超过1000 - 1500万年。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of accretion disks associated with ~ 13 Myr-old intermediate/low-mass stars in h and chi Persei. Optical spectroscopy of ~ 5000 stars in these clusters and a surrounding halo population reveal 32 A-K stars with H(alpha) emission. Matching these stars with 2MASS and optical photometry yields 25 stars with the highest probability of cluster membership and EW(H(alpha)) > 5 angstroms. Sixteen of these sources have EW(H(alpha)) > 10 angstroms. The population of accreting sources is strongly spectral type dependent: H(alpha) emission characteristic of accretion, especially strong accretion (EW(H(alpha)) > 10 angstroms), is much more prevalent around stars later than G0. Strong H(alpha) emission from accretion is typically associated with redder Ks-[8] colors. The existence of accreting pre-main sequence stars in h and chi Persei implies that circumstellar gas in some systems, especially those with primaries later than G5 spectral type, can last longer than 10-15 Myr.
