摘要:

环双星盘被假设存在于一些后AGB双星的周围。虽然大多数环双星盘都是通过近红外过量来推断的,但其中少数是分子发射的强发射体。在这里,我们提出了高角分辨率的观测发射的$^{12}$ CO和它的同位素$^{13}$ CO J=2--1线从拱包层周围的二进制后AGB星IRAS 08544 $-$ 4431,这是这类对象的最突出的成员之一。我们发现,在我们的观察和两个独立的组件可以确定的信封解决:(a)一个中心的扩展和强大的组件与非常窄的线宽之间的2 - 6 \kms ;(b)一个弱的双极外流与膨胀速度高达8 \kms。中心致密组分具有低的和可变的$^{12}$ CO/ $^{13}$ CO J=2- 1线比,指示主要同位素的光学厚发射。根据光学较薄的$^{13}$ CO J=2- 1谱线,我们估计该组分的分子气体质量为0.0047 M $_\odot$。我们讨论的关系的分子包络和环双星盘推断从近红外过剩和比较与其他已知的情况下,分子气体的分布已被成像在高角分辨率。

英文摘要:

Circumbinary disks have been hypothesized to exist around a number of binary post-AGB stars. Although most of the circumbinary disks have been inferred through the near IR excess, a few of them are strong emitters of molecular emission. Here we present high angular resolution observations of the emission of $^{12}$CO and its isotopomer $^{13}$CO J=2--1 line from the circumstellar envelope around the binary post-AGB star IRAS 08544$-$4431, which is one of the most prominent members of this class of objects. We find that the envelope is resolved in our observations and two separate components can be identified: (a) a central extended and strong component with very narrow linewidth between 2 - 6 \kms; (b) a weak bipolar outflow with expansion velocity up to 8 \kms. The central compact component possesses low and variable $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO J=2--1 line ratio, indicating optically thick emission of the main isotope. We estimate a molecular gas mass of 0.0047 M$_\odot$ for this component based on the optically thinner $^{13}$CO J=2--1 line. We discuss the relation of the molecular envelope and the circumbinary disk inferred from near IR excess and compare with other known cases where the distribution of molecular gas has been imaged at high angular resolution.
