摘要:

我们提出了一个发现的伴星附近的氘燃烧质量极限位于一个非常宽的距离,在一个4.6+/-0.1角秒(投影距离约670 AU)从USCoCTIO 108,一个非常年轻的上天蝎座协会的褐矮星。光学和近红外测光和光谱学证实了这两个天体的冷性质,光谱类型分别为M7和M9.5,它们是该协会的真正成员,显示出低重力和年轻的特征。根据测辐射热光度和星协年龄范围的理论模型比较,它们的质量分别为60+/-20和14^{+2}_{-8} MJup。这个物体在如此宽的轨道上围绕着一颗褐矮星存在,这表明根据目前的行星形成模型,这颗伴星不太可能形成在一个圆盘中。由于这个系统的束缚相当弱,它们可能不是通过恒星胚胎的动力学喷射形成的。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of a companion near the deuterium burning mass limit located at a very wide distance, at an angular separation of 4.6+/-0.1 arcsec (projected distance of ~ 670 AU) from UScoCTIO108, a brown dwarf of the very young Upper Scorpius association. Optical and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy confirm the cool nature of both objects, with spectral types of M7 and M9.5, respectively, and that they are bona fide members of the association, showing low gravity and features of youth. Their masses, estimated from the comparison of their bolometric luminosities and theoretical models for the age range of the association, are 60+/-20 and 14^{+2}_{-8} MJup, respectively. The existence of this object around a brown dwarf at this wide orbit suggests that the companion is unlikely to have formed in a disk based on current planet formation models. Because this system is rather weakly bound, they did not probably form through dynamical ejection of stellar embryos.
