摘要:

我们目前的红外干涉观测的两个A星碎片盘,β狮子座和zeta Lep的内部区域,使用FLUOR仪器在CHARA干涉仪的短(30米)和长(>200米)的基线。对于目标星,短基线的vibrations是低于预期的恒星光球单独,而那些检查星,狮子座δ,不是。我们解释这个可见度偏移的百分之几作为一个近红外过量所产生的尘埃颗粒,由于仪器的视野,必须位于几个天文单位的中心恒星。对于狮子座β,产生近红外线过量的颗粒在空间上与产生先前已知的中红外线过量的尘埃不同。对于zeta Lep,近红外过量可以在空间上与中红外过量产生材料相关联。我们提出了简单的几何模型,这是一致的近红外和中红外过量,并表明,对于这两个对象,近红外生产材料是最符合的薄环的灰尘附近的升华半径与典型的晶粒尺寸小于标称辐射压力井喷半径。最后,我们讨论了可能的起源的近红外辐射尘埃的背景下,碎片盘的演变模型。

英文摘要:

We present infrared interferometric observations of the inner regions of two A-star debris disks, beta Leo and zeta Lep, using the FLUOR instrument at the CHARA interferometer on both short (30 m) and long (>200 m) baselines. For the target stars, the short baseline visibilities are lower than expected for the stellar photosphere alone, while those of a check star, delta Leo, are not. We interpret this visibility offset of a few percent as a near-infrared excess arising from dust grains which, due to the instrumental field of view, must be located within several AU of the central star. For beta Leo, the near-infrared excess producing grains are spatially distinct from the dust which produces the previously known mid-infrared excess. For zeta Lep, the near-infrared excess may be spatially associated with the mid-infrared excess producing material. We present simple geometric models which are consistent with the near and mid-infrared excess and show that for both objects, the near-infrared producing material is most consistent with a thin ring of dust near the sublimation radius with typical grain sizes smaller than the nominal radiation pressure blowout radius. Finally, we discuss possible origins of the near-infrared emitting dust in the context of debris disk evolution models.
