摘要:

盘-外流连接被认为在从形成中的原恒星中提取多余的角动量方面起着关键作用。虽然在少数天体中观察到了喷流旋转,但迄今为止还没有明确报道分子流出的旋转。我们报告了在孤立的博克球状体CB 26中对金牛座T星盘系统边缘进行的新的毫米干涉观测。这些观测的目的是研究这个100万年前的低质量年轻恒星天体的盘流出关系。用IRAM PdBI阵列在两种配置下观测1.3mm处的~(12)CO(2-1),得到分辨率为1.5角秒的谱线图。我们使用一个经验参数化的稳态外流模型,结合二维线辐射转移计算和参数空间中的卡方最小化来导出最佳拟合模型并约束外流参数。数据揭示了一个以前未发现的准直双极分子流出的总长度~2000 AU,逃逸垂直于平面的磁盘。我们发现奇特的运动学签名,这表明外流是旋转与磁盘相同的方向。然而,我们不能最终排除射流进动或两个错位的流动作为所观察到的奇特的速度场的可能来源。有间接的迹象表明,嵌入的驱动源是一个双星系统,这与源的年轻,可以提供观察到的外流的运动学特征的线索。CB 26是迄今为止研究分子外流旋转的最有希望的源。假设外流是旋转的,我们计算和比较质量,质量通量,角动量,和角动量通量的磁盘和外流,并得出磁盘分散的时间尺度为0.5…100万年,相当于系统的年龄。

英文摘要:

The disk-outflow connection is thought to play a key role in extracting excess angular momentum from a forming proto-star. Though jet rotation has been observed in a few objects, no rotation of molecular outflows has been unambiguously reported so far. We report new millimeter-interferometric observations of the edge-on T Tauri star - disk system in the isolated Bok globule CB26. The aim of these observations was to study the disk-outflow relation in this 1Myr old low-mass young stellar object. The IRAM PdBI array was used to observe 12CO(2-1) at 1.3mm in two configurations, resulting in spectral line maps with 1.5 arcsec resolution. We use an empirical parameterized steady-state outflow model combined with 2-D line radiative transfer calculations and chi^2-minimization in parameter space to derive a best-fit model and constrain parameters of the outflow. The data reveal a previously undiscovered collimated bipolar molecular outflow of total length ~2000 AU, escaping perpendicular to the plane of the disk. We find peculiar kinematic signatures that suggest the outflow is rotating with the same orientation as the disk. However, we could not ultimately exclude jet precession or two misaligned flows as possible origin of the observed peculiar velocity field. There is indirect indication that the embedded driving source is a binary system, which, together with the youth of the source, could provide the clue to the observed kinematic features of the outflow. CB26 is so far the most promising source to study the rotation of a molecular outflow. Assuming that the outflow is rotating, we compute and compare masses, mass flux, angular momenta, and angular momentum flux of disk and outflow and derive disk dispersal timescales of 0.5...1 Myr, comparable to the age of the system.
