He I 10830的红移吸收作为金牛T星吸积几何的探测

Redshifted Absorption at He I 10830 as a Probe of the Accretion Geometry of T Tauri Stars

William Fischer, John Kwan, Suzan Edwards, Lynne Hillenbrand

摘要:

我们探测几何磁层吸积在经典金牛座T星通过模拟红色吸收在He I 10830通过散射的恒星和面纱连续。假设吸积流是一个方位对称的偶极子和氦是足够的光学厚度,所有入射的1微米辐射被散射,我们说明了He I 10830红色吸收的磁层的大小和填充因子的热吸积冲击的敏感性。我们比较模型配置文件中观察到的21 CTTS与亚连续红移吸收在He I 10830,并发现,约有一半的恒星有红色的反射和1微米的vehicles是一致的偶极流的中等宽度与吸积冲击填充因子匹配的磁层足点的大小。然而,剩下的50%的剖面,结合了宽,深吸收和低1微米的面纱,需要非常宽的流动,其中磁足迹分布在10-20%的恒星表面,但吸积冲击填充因子<1%。我们模拟这些配置文件调用大磁层稀释充满吸积气体,离开磁盘的半径范围内的许多狭窄的“细流”,只填充整个落入区域的一小部分。在某些情况下,吸积小气流需要起源于几个恒星半径之间的圆盘,至少是共转半径。少数恒星在速度大于恒星逃逸速度的一半时有如此深的吸收,这种速度在恒星附近流动,曲率小于偶极轨道似乎是必需的。

英文摘要:

We probe the geometry of magnetospheric accretion in classical T Tauri stars by modeling red absorption at He I 10830 via scattering of the stellar and veiling continua. Under the assumptions that the accretion flow is an azimuthally symmetric dipole and helium is sufficiently optically thick that all incident 1-micron radiation is scattered, we illustrate the sensitivity of He I 10830 red absorption to both the size of the magnetosphere and the filling factor of the hot accretion shock. We compare model profiles to those observed in 21 CTTS with subcontinuum redshifted absorption at He I 10830 and find that about half of the stars have red absorptions and 1-micron veilings that are consistent with dipole flows of moderate width with accretion shock filling factors matching the size of the magnetospheric footpoints. However, the remaining 50% of the profiles, with a combination of broad, deep absorption and low 1-micron veiling, require very wide flows where magnetic footpoints are distributed over 10-20% of the stellar surface but accretion shock filling factors are < 1%. We model these profiles by invoking large magnetospheres dilutely filled with accreting gas, leaving the disk over a range of radii in many narrow "streamlets" that fill only a small fraction of the entire infall region. In some cases accreting streamlets need to originate in the disk between several stellar radii and at least the corotation radius. A few stars have such deep absorption at velocities greater than half the stellar escape velocity that flows near the star with less curvature than a dipole trajectory seem to be required.
