摘要:

目的:利用高分辨率TIMMI 2和SPITZER红外光谱研究了后AGB双星环双星盘的矿物学和尘埃过程。方法:我们进行了全光谱拟合的红外光谱使用最近的不透明度的无定形和结晶尘埃物种。这允许识别不同发射带的载流子。我们的配合也限制了不同的尘埃种类和颗粒大小的物理性质负责观察到的排放功能。结果如下:在所有恒星的尘埃是富氧的:无定形和结晶硅酸盐尘埃物种占主导地位,没有富碳成分的功能可以找到,例外的是EPLyr,在那里的氧和富碳物种的混合化学被发现。我们的样本恒星的矿物学表明,尘埃是由不规则形状和相对较大的颗粒组成的,典型的颗粒尺寸大于2微米。几乎所有恒星的光谱都显示出高度的结晶度,其中富含镁的橄榄石和辉石硅酸盐占主导地位。其他粉尘特征,例如二氧化硅或氧化铝,不存在可检测水平。从我们的拟合程序的温度估计表明,一个显着的部分晶粒必须是冷的,显着低于玻璃温度。这表明径向混合在这些盘中是非常有效的和/或表明在晶粒形成时的不同热条件。我们的研究结果表明,强颗粒加工并不局限于年轻的恒星物体和发生在光盘的物理过程是非常相似的原行星盘。

英文摘要:

Aims: We investigate the mineralogy and dust processing in the circumbinary discs of binary post-AGB stars using high-resolution TIMMI2 and SPITZER infrared spectra. Methods: We perform a full spectral fitting to the infrared spectra using the most recent opacities of amorphous and crystalline dust species. This allows for the identification of the carriers of the different emission bands. Our fits also constrain the physical properties of different dust species and grain sizes responsible for the observed emission features. Results: In all stars the dust is oxygen-rich: amorphous and crystalline silicate dust species prevail and no features of a carbon-rich component can be found, the exception being EPLyr, where a mixed chemistry of both oxygen- and carbon-rich species is found. Our full spectral fitting indicates a high degree of dust grain processing. The mineralogy of our sample stars shows that the dust is constituted of irregularly shaped and relatively large grains, with typical grain sizes larger than 2 micron. The spectra of nearly all stars show a high degree of crystallinity, where magnesium-rich end members of olivine and pyroxene silicates dominate. Other dust features of e.g. silica or alumina are not present at detectable levels. Temperature estimates from our fitting routine show that a significant fraction of grains must be cool, significantly cooler than the glass temperature. This shows that radial mixing is very efficient is these discs and/or indicates different thermal conditions at grain formation. Our results show that strong grain processing is not limited to young stellar objects and that the physical processes occurring in the discs are very similar to those in protoplanetary discs.
