六颗具有星周硅酸盐的白矮星

Six White Dwarfs with Circumstellar Silicates

M. Jura, J. Farihi, B. Zuckerman

摘要:

斯皮策太空望远镜的光谱揭示了围绕六颗外部污染的白矮星运行的星周尘埃中10微米的硅酸盐发射。具有橄榄石化学计量比的100毫米大小的玻璃可以解释延伸到12微米的独特宽翼;这些颗粒可能是由小行星的潮汐破坏产生的。红外PAH特征的缺乏与太阳系外岩石行星由贫碳固体组成的情况一致。

英文摘要:

Spitzer Space Telescope spectra reveal 10 micron silicate emission from circumstellar dust orbiting six externally-polluted white dwarfs. Micron-size glasses with an olivine stoichiometry can account for the distinctively broad wings that extend to 12 microns; these particles likely are produced by tidal-disruption of asteroids. The absence of infrared PAH features is consistent with a scenario where extrasolar rocky planets are assembled from carbon-poor solids.
