HR 4796 A星周盘中的复杂有机物质

Complex Organic Materials in the Circumstellar Disk of HR 4796A

J. H. Debes, A. J. Weinberger, G. Schneider

摘要:

我们结合HST/NICMOS成像测光的HR 4796 A磁盘在以前未观察到的波长之间的1.71-2.22 \micron与再处理的档案观测产生的尘埃的散射效率作为波长的函数的措施。尘埃的光谱,从七个测光措施合成,其特征是陡峭的红色斜率从0.5 \micron增加到1.6 \micron,然后在波长$>$ 1.6 \micron的光谱平坦。我们将光谱与由托林组成的尘埃颗粒模型人口相匹配,托林是由太阳系外部的复杂有机材料组成的材料。一颗可能处于巨型行星形成后期的恒星周围存在有机物质,这意味着生命的基本组成部分可能在行星系统中很常见。

英文摘要:

We combine HST/NICMOS imaging photometry of the HR 4796A disk at previously unobserved wavelengths between 1.71-2.22\micron with reprocessed archival observations to produce a measure of the dust's scattering efficiency as a function of wavelength. The spectrum of the dust, synthesized from the seven photometric measures, is characterized by a steep red slope increasing from 0.5 \micron to 1.6 \micron followed by a flattening of the spectrum at wavelengths $>$ 1.6 \micron. We fit the spectrum with a model population of dust grains made of tholins, materials comprised of complex organic materials seen throughout the outer parts of our Solar System. The presence of organic material around a star that may be in the later stages of giant planet formation implies that the basic building blocks for life may be common in planetary systems.
