原行星状星云中的喷流和Tori:观测与理论

Jets and Tori in Proto-Planetary Nebulae: Observations vs. Theory

P. J. Huggins

摘要:

我们报告的时间序列的研究中出现的高速喷流和赤道环面的过渡恒星从渐近巨星分支的行星状星云阶段。喷流和环面是这一演化的突出特征,但它们的起源尚不确定。利用分子环面和分子或光学射流的运动学,我们确定了一个样本的良好观察的情况下的喷射历史。我们发现,喷流和环面几乎同时发展。我们还发现了喷气式飞机出现的时间比tori稍晚的证据,典型的时差是几百年。重建的时间线,这个序列提供了很好的证据,喷气机和环面的物理相关,他们设置新的限制喷气形成的情况。有些设想被排除或变得不可信,而另一些则在数量上受到质疑。

英文摘要:

We report on a study of the time sequence for the appearance of high-velocity jets and equatorial tori in the transition of stars from the asymptotic giant branch to the planetary nebulae phase. Jets and tori are prominent features of this evolution, but their origins are uncertain. Using the kinematics of molecular tori and molecular or optical jets, we determine the ejection histories for a sample of well-observed cases. We find that jets and tori develop nearly simultaneously. We also find evidence that jets appear slightly later than tori, with a typical jet-lag of a few hundred years. The reconstructed time-lines of this sequence provide good evidence that jets and tori are physically related, and they set new constraints on jet formation scenarios. Some scenarios are ruled out or rendered implausible, and others are challenged at a quantitative level.
