经典金牛T星DQ Tau的耀斑

Captured at Millimeter Wavelengths: a Flare from the Classical T Tauri Star DQ Tau

D. M. Salter, M. R. Hogerheijde, G. A. Blake

摘要:

在2008年4月19日的几个小时内,金牛座T的光谱双星DQ Tau被观测到变亮,达到最大探测通量468 mJy,并可能使其成为金牛座恒星形成区中最亮的3毫米天体。我们提出的光变曲线很少观察到毫米耀斑起源于周围地区的前主序星,第一个从一个经典的金牛座T星。我们讨论的脉冲吸积流的背景下(目前的图片主要是基于这个对象的光学可变光谱的研究),以及磁层重新连接模型(一个单独的理论,预测毫米耀斑的高轨道偏心率的近距离双星)的耀斑行为的属性和性质。我们相信耀斑机制与双星轨道有关,因此是周期性的。DQ Tau提出了一个强有力的理由,多波长的后续研究,并行进行,未来的耀斑,以帮助确定是否磁层和动力学相互作用在一个原双星系统是独立的。

英文摘要:

For several hours on 2008 April 19 the T Tauri spectroscopic binary DQ Tau was observed to brighten, reaching a maximum detected flux of 468 mJy and likely making it (briefly) the brightest object at 3 mm in the Taurus star-forming region. We present the light curve of a rarely before observed millimeter flare originating in the region around a pre-main-sequence star, and the first from a classical T Tauri star. We discuss the properties and nature of the flaring behavior in the context of pulsed accretion flows (the current picture based largely on studies of this object's optically variable spectrum), as well as magnetospheric re-connection models (a separate theory that predicts millimeter flares for close binaries of high orbital eccentricity). We believe that the flare mechanism is linked to the binary orbit, and therefore periodic. DQ Tau makes a strong case for multi-wavelength follow-up studies, performed in parallel, of future flares to help determine whether magnetospheric and dynamical interactions in a proto-binary system are independent.
