摘要:

我们提出了高分辨率的光谱中红外观测的拱盘周围的赫比格Ae星HD97048获得的VLT成像仪和光谱仪的中红外(VISIR)。我们进行了中红外纯旋转线的分子氢(H2)作为示踪剂的温暖的气体在磁盘表面层的观察。在以前的论文中,我们报道了在17.035微米处检测到H2的S(1)纯旋转线,并认为它是从恒星周围的盘的内部区域产生的。我们在VLT上使用VISIR进行了更全面的研究,基于对其他中红外分子跃迁的补充观测,即分别在12.278微米和8.025微米处的S(2)和S(4),以研究HD 97048周围的拱星盘中分子气体的物理性质。我们没有从HD 97048的盘上检测到S(2)线和S(4)H2线,但我们得到了积分线通量的上限,这使我们能够估计气体激发温度的上限,T_ex < 570 K。这个温度极限与以前在分析S(1)线时所用的假设是一致的,并且允许我们对盘内部区域的暖气体质量设置更强的约束。事实上,我们估计热气体的质量低于0.1 M_Jup。我们还讨论了HD 97048盘中H2激发的可能物理机制。

英文摘要:

We present high-resolution spectroscopic mid-infrared observations of the circumstellar disk around the Herbig Ae star HD97048 obtained with the VLT Imager and Spectrometer for the mid-InfraRed (VISIR). We conducted observations of mid-infrared pure rotational lines of molecular hydrogen (H2) as a tracer of warm gas in the disk surface layers. In a previous paper, we reported the detection of the S(1) pure rotational line of H2 at 17.035 microns and argued it is arising from the inner regions of the disk around the star. We used VISIR on the VLT for a more comprehensive study based on complementary observations of the other mid-infrared molecular transitions, namely S(2) and S(4) at 12.278 microns and 8.025 microns respectively, to investigate the physical properties of the molecular gas in the circumstellar disk around HD97048. We do not detect neither the S(2) line nor the S(4) H2 line from the disk of HD97048, but we derive upper limits on the integrated line fluxes which allows us to estimate an upper limit on the gas excitation temperature, T_ex < 570 K. This limit on the temperature is consistent with the assumptions previously used in the analysis of the S(1) line, and allows us to set stronger contraints on the mass of warm gas in the inner regions of the disk. Indeed, we estimate the mass of warm gas to be lower than 0.1 M_Jup. We also discuss the probable physical mechanisms which could be responsible of the excitation of H2 in the disk of HD97048.
