IC 348星云的深MIPS观测:对贫血的星周星云演化状态和原始盘到碎片盘转变的约束

Deep MIPS Observations of the IC 348 Nebula: Constraints on the Evolutionary State of Anemic Circumstellar Disks and the Primordial-to-Debris Disk Transition

Thayne Currie, Scott Kenyon

摘要:

我们描述了新的,深MIPS测光和新的高信噪比光谱的250万年前的IC 348星云。为了探索IC 348盘人口的属性,我们将这些数据与以前的光学/红外光度学和光谱学相结合,以识别气体吸积的恒星,检查它们的中红外颜色,并模拟它们的光谱能量分布。IC 348包含许多不同演化状态的源,包括原恒星和被原始盘包围的恒星,两种过渡盘和碎片盘。大多数围绕早期/中等光谱型恒星(大于1.4 Msun,2.5 Myr)的盘是碎片盘;大多数围绕太阳和亚太阳质量恒星的盘是原始盘。在1- 2 sigma水平,质量较大的恒星也比质量较低的恒星具有较小的气体吸积频率和较小的中红外光度。这些趋势暗示了一个恒星质量相关的磁盘演化,其中大多数磁盘周围的高/中等质量的恒星脱落的快速,250万年的时间尺度上的原始磁盘。对于质量大于0.5 Msun的恒星,MIPS探测到的过渡盘的频率约为15- 35%。与100万年前的金牛座和500万年前的NGC 2362相比,IC 348中过渡盘的相对频率与过渡时间尺度是一致的,过渡时间尺度是原始盘总寿命的一个重要部分。

英文摘要:

We describe new, deep MIPS photometry and new high signal-to-noise optical spectroscopy of the 2.5 Myr-old IC 348 Nebula. To probe the properties of the IC 348 disk population, we combine these data with previous optical/infrared photometry and spectroscopy to identify stars with gas accretion, to examine their mid-IR colors,and to model their spectral energy distributions. IC 348 contains many sources in different evolutionary states, including protostars and stars surrounded by primordial disks, two kinds of transitional disks, and debris disks. Most disks surrounding eary/intermediate spectral-type stars (> 1.4 Msun at 2.5 Myr) are debris disks; most disks surrounding solar and subsolar-mass stars are primordial disks. At the 1--2 sigma level, more massive stars also have a smaller frequency of gas accretion and smaller mid-IR luminosities than lower-mass stars. These trends are suggestive of a stellar mass-dependent evolution of disks, where most disks around high/intermediate-mass stars shed their primordial disks on rapid, 2.5 Myr timescales. The frequency of MIPS-detected transitional disks is ~ 15--35% for stars plausibly more massive than 0.5 Msun. The relative frequency of transitional disks in IC 348 compared to that for 1 Myr-old Taurus and 5 Myr-old NGC 2362 is consistent with a transition timescale that is a significant fraction of the total primordial disk lifetime.
