摘要:

猎户座51是为数不多的年轻Be星之一,除了在这类恒星中通常观察到的近红外过量外,它还显示出2.3微米的强烈CO泛音发射。在本文中,我们首先定位CO带头发射区。然后,我们比较它的位置相对于发射近红外连续谱的区域。我们已经观察到51 Oph与琥珀在低光谱分辨率(R=35),并在中等光谱分辨率(R=1500)的CO带头为中心。中等分辨率的AMBER观测清楚地分辨了CO带头。CO带头和连续辐射都可以通过干涉仪在空间上分辨。用简单的分析环模型来解释测量的vibrium,我们发现CO bandheads发射区是紧凑的,位于$0.15_{-0.04}^{0.07}$ AU从恒星,和相邻的连续来自一个区域更远的$0.25_{-0.03}^{0.06}$ AU。这些结果证实了通常调用的情况下,CO带头起源于一个无尘热气体盘。此外,连续发射区更接近恒星比尘埃升华半径(至少是一个因素2),我们建议,热气体内的尘埃升华半径显着有助于观察到的2 $μ$ m连续发射。

英文摘要:

51 Oph is one of the few young Be stars displaying a strong CO overtone emission at 2.3 microns in addition to the near infrared excess commonly observed in this type of stars. In this paper we first aim to locate the CO bandheads emitting region. Then, we compare its position with respect to the region emitting the near infrared continuum. We have observed 51 Oph with AMBER in low spectral resolution (R=35), and in medium spectral resolution (R=1500) centered on the CO bandheads. The medium resolution AMBER observations clearly resolve the CO bandheads. Both the CO bandheads and continuum emissions are spatially resolved by the interferometer. Using simple analytical ring models to interpret the measured visibilities, we find that the CO bandheads emission region is compact, located at $0.15_{-0.04}^{0.07}$AU from the star, and that the adjacent continuum is coming from a region further away $0.25_{-0.03}^{0.06}$AU. These results confirm the commonly invoked scenario in which the CO bandheads originate in a dust free hot gaseous disk. Furthermore, the continuum emitting region is closer to the star than the dust sublimation radius (by at least a factor two) and we suggest that hot gas inside the dust sublimation radius significantly contributes to the observed 2 $μ$m continuum emission.
