摘要:

本文报道了在斯隆数字巡天光谱数据库中发现的一颗高自行L型亚矮星($μ$ = 0.617角秒/年)。来自恒星SDSS J125637-022452的光谱具有混合的光谱特征,既有晚M光谱亚型(7000 A的强TiO和CaH),也有中L光谱亚型(7700 A的强KI翼,CrH和FeH),这被解释为一颗光谱类型为sdL的极低质量贫金属恒星(超冷次矮星)的特征。来自2 MASS的近红外(NIR)(J-Ks)颜色显示,该天体与正常的L矮星相比显着更蓝,这可能是由于H2分子引起的强烈碰撞诱导吸收(CIA)。这与来自H2的CIA在低金属丰度下更明显的想法一致。自行和径向速度的测量也表明这颗恒星在运动学上是“热的”,可能与星系晕人口有关。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a high proper motion L subdwarf ($μ$ =0.617arcsec/yr) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectral database. The optical spectrum from the star SDSS J125637-022452 has mixed spectral features of both late-M spectral subtype (strong TiO and CaH at 7000A) and mid-L spectral subtype (strong wings of KI at 7700A, CrH and FeH), which is interpreted as the signature of a very low-mass, metal-poor star (ultra-cool subdwarf) of spectral type sdL. The near infrared (NIR) (J-Ks) colors from 2MASS shows the object to be significantly bluer compared to normal L dwarfs, which is probably due a strong collision induced absorption (CIA) due to H2 molecule. This is consistent with the idea that CIA from H2 is more pronounced at low metallicities. Proper motion and radial velocity measurements also indicate that the star is kinematically "hot" and probably associated with the Galactic halo population.
