摘要:

本文是斯皮策太空望远镜行星系统形成和演化(FEPS)遗产科学计划中获得的一系列结果之一。在这里,我们提出了一个研究的尘埃加工和增长的七个原行星盘。我们的光谱表明,星周硅酸盐尘埃颗粒的大小至少比在星际介质中观察到的大10倍,并显示出来自晶体物质的不可忽略的贡献(质量分数约为5%)的证据。这些结果与其他原行星盘的研究结果相似。此外,我们发现的强度的无定形硅酸盐功能和光谱能量分布的形状之间的相关性。后者的结果是一致的增长和随后的重力沉降尘埃颗粒向磁盘中平面。此外,我们发现不同的晶体物种的相对丰度的变化:更多的顽火辉石相对于镁橄榄石观察到在内部温暖的尘埃人口在~1 AU,而镁橄榄石占主导地位,在较冷的外部区域在~5至15 AU。这种相对丰度的变化证明了一个局部结晶过程,而不是一个径向混合的情况下,结晶硅酸盐被向外输送从一个单一的形成区域在热的内部部分的磁盘。最后,我们报告的检测排放多环芳烃分子在五个七个来源。我们发现一个试探性的PAH带在8.2微米,以前未检测到的光谱盘周围的低质量前主序星。

英文摘要:

This paper is one in a series presenting results obtained within the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Legacy Science Program on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Here we present a study of dust processing and growth in seven protoplanetary disks. Our spectra indicate that the circumstellar silicate dust grains have grown to sizes at least 10 times larger than observed in the interstellar medium, and show evidence for a non-negligible (~5 % in mass fractions) contribution from crystalline species. These results are similar to those of other studies of protoplanetary disks. In addition, we find a correlation between the strength of the amorphous silicate feature and the shape of the spectral energy distribution. This latter result is consistent with the growth and subsequent gravitational settling of dust grains towards the disk mid-plane. Further, we find a change in the relative abundance of the different crystalline species: more enstatite relative to forsterite is observed in the inner warm dust population at ~1 AU, while forsterite dominates in the colder outer regions at ~5 to 15 AU. This change in the relative abundances argues for a localized crystallization process rather than a radial mixing scenario where crystalline silicates are being transported outwards from a single formation region in the hot inner parts of the disk. Last, we report the detection of emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in five out of seven sources. We find a tentative PAH band at 8.2 micron, previously undetected in the spectra of disks around low-mass pre-main-sequence stars.
