摘要:

我们报告发现的第五个候选亚恒星系统在~5-10百万年TW长蛇座协会- DENIS J124514.1-442907。这个天体的近红外光谱与2 MASS J1139511-315921非常相似,2 MASS J1139511-315921是一颗已知的长蛇座TW棕矮星,具有低表面重力特征,如三角形的H带,深H2O吸收,弱碱线和弱氢化物带。我们发现了一个光谱类型为M9.5的恒星,并估计其质量小于24 M_Jup,假设年龄为5-10百万年。虽然测量到的DENIS J124514.1-442907的自行作为成员资格的测试是不确定的,但它在天空中的位置与TW长蛇座星协一致。一个更准确的自行测量,更高分辨率的光谱径向速度,和视差测量需要得到真正的空间运动,并确认其成员。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a fifth candidate substellar system in the ~5-10 Myr TW Hydrae Association - DENIS J124514.1-442907. This object has a NIR spectrum remarkably similar to that of 2MASS J1139511-315921, a known TW Hydrae brown dwarf, with low surface gravity features such as a triangular-shaped H-band, deep H2O absorption, weak alkali lines, and weak hydride bands. We find an optical spectral type of M9.5 and estimate a mass of <24 M_Jup, assuming an age of ~5-10 Myr. While the measured proper motion for DENIS J124514.1-442907 is inconclusive as a test for membership, its position in the sky is coincident with the TW Hydrae Association. A more accurate proper motion measurement, higher resolution spectroscopy for radial velocity, and a parallax measurement are needed to derive the true space motion and to confirm its membership.
