摘要:

我们已经确定了17个A型恒星在银道面有中红外线超过8微米。根据观测到的(r '-H_alpha)-(r'-i ')平面的颜色,我们首先在艾萨克·牛顿测光H-阿尔法巡天(IPHAS)点源数据库中确定了23050颗早期A型主序星候选者,这些候选者位于斯皮策GLIMPSE银道面区域。强制要求它们在所有7个2 MASS和IRAC波段都能被探测到,这导致了2692颗候选A型星的样本,其完全采样的SED为0.6至8微米。18颗IPHAS候选A型MS星的光学分类光谱显示,除了一颗外,所有的恒星都可以很好地用主序星A型模板进行拟合,另一颗是A型超巨星。在2692个A型候选者中,有17个(0.6%)被发现比预期的光球值高出8微米。考虑到非A型污染估计值,将8微米过量部分调整为约0.7%。到这些源的距离为0.7-2.5千秒差距。在17颗多余的恒星中,只有10颗被斯皮策MIPSGAL观测场覆盖,其中5颗在24微米处有可检测到的多余。对于在至少两个中红外波段检测到过量的源,对过量SED的黑体拟合得到的温度范围为270至650 K,测热光度比L_IR/L* 为2.2 × 10 ^{-3}-1.9 × 10 ^{-2},平均值为7.9x10^{-3}(这些测辐射热光度是下限,因为本次调查无法检测到冷尘)。中红外线过量的存在和推导出的热光度比是一致的,这些系统中的许多是在行星建设过渡阶段之间的早期原行星盘阶段和后来的碎片盘阶段。

英文摘要:

We have identified 17 A-type stars in the Galactic Plane that have mid-IR excesses at 8 micron. From the observed colors in the (r'-H_alpha)-(r'-i') plane, we first identified 23050 early A-type main sequence (MS) star candidates in the Isaac Newton Photometric H-Alpha Survey (IPHAS) point source database that are located in Spitzer GLIMPSE Galactic Plane fields. Imposing the requirement that they be detected in all seven 2MASS and IRAC bands led to a sample of 2692 candidate A-type stars with fully sampled 0.6 to 8 micron SEDs. Optical classification spectra of 18 of the IPHAS candidate A-type MS stars showed that all but one could be well fitted using main sequence A-type templates, with the other being an A-type supergiant. Out of the 2692 A-type candidates 17 (0.6%) were found to have 8-micron excesses above the expected photospheric values. Taking into account non-A-Type contamination estimates, the 8-micron excess fraction is adjusted to ~0.7%. The distances to these sources range from 0.7-2.5 kpc. Only 10 out of the 17 excess stars had been covered by Spitzer MIPSGAL survey fields, of which 5 had detectable excesses at 24 micron. For sources with excesses detected in at least two mid-IR wavelength bands, blackbody fits to the excess SEDs yielded temperatures ranging from 270 to 650 K, and bolometric luminosity ratios L_IR/L* from 2.2x10^{-3}-1.9x10^{-2}, with a mean value of 7.9x10^{-3} (these bolometric luminosities are lower limits as cold dust is not detectable by this survey). Both the presence of mid-IR excesses and the derived bolometric luminosity ratios are consistent with many of these systems being in the planet-building transition phase between the early protoplanetary disk phase and the later debris disk phase.
