三角洲冕区红外弓形激波的模拟:对碎片星和λ牧夫座星研究的启示
Modeling the Infrared Bow Shock at delta Velorum: Implications for Studies of Debris Disks and lambda Bootis Stars
摘要:
我们已经发现了一个弓形激波形状的中红外多余的区域在三角洲Velorum使用24微米的观测获得的多波段成像光度计斯皮策(MIPS)。根据以前的红外观测,多余的部分被归类为碎片盘。虽然弓形激波形态仅在24微米观测中被检测到,但其过量也在70微米处被解决。我们表明,恒星加热的环境星际介质(ISM)云可以产生测量流量。由于Velorum三角洲以前被归类为碎片盘星,我们的发现可能会对其他恒星的相同分类提出质疑。我们模拟了恒星和ISM的相互作用,产生的图像显示出与观察到的相同的几何形状和表面亮度。相对于平均局部气泡值,模型化的ISM是15倍的过密,考虑到Velorum三角洲的紧密接近(24 pc),这是令人惊讶的。牧夫座λ星的丰度异常以前被解释为是由与ISM相同类型的恒星相互作用引起的。Velorum三角洲的低分辨率光谱显示它不属于这类恒星。因此,这颗恒星是一个有趣的测试平台,为ISM吸积理论的lambda Bootis现象。
英文摘要:
We have discovered a bow shock shaped mid-infrared excess region in front of delta Velorum using 24 micron observations obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The excess has been classified as a debris disk from previous infrared observations. Although the bow shock morphology was only detected in the 24 micron observations, its excess was also resolved at 70 micron. We show that the stellar heating of an ambient interstellar medium (ISM) cloud can produce the measured flux. Since delta Velorum was classified as a debris disk star previously, our discovery may call into question the same classification of other stars. We model the interaction of the star and ISM, producing images that show the same geometry and surface brightness as is observed. The modeled ISM is 15 times overdense relative to the average Local Bubble value, which is surprising considering the close proximity (24 pc) of delta Velorum. The abundance anomalies of lambda Bootis stars have been previously explained as arising from the same type of interaction of stars with the ISM. Low resolution optical spectra of delta Velorum show that it does not belong to this stellar class. The star therefore is an interesting testbed for the ISM accretion theory of the lambda Bootis phenomenon.
