尘埃云在棕矮星大气中的作用

The Role of Dust Clouds in the Atmospheres of Brown Dwarfs

Adam Burrows

摘要:

新的光谱类别,L和T,是由尘埃云在其大气中的作用定义的,前者是由它们的存在而后者是由它们的去除和几乎不存在。此外,M到L和L到T的转变与硅酸盐和铁颗粒的凝聚和特征密切相关,相关的云在这些棕矮星的颜色和光谱中起着关键作用。这些天体的有效温度范围从$\sim$ 2200 K到$\sim$ 600 K,被大量发现,是一个新的领域,在这个领域中,凝聚化学和颗粒的光学性质具有天文学的重要性。在这篇简短的论文中,我总结了这种耐火材料在确定这些“恒星”的性质和理论处理的复杂性中所起的作用。

英文摘要:

The new spectroscopic classes, L and T, are defined by the role of dust clouds in their atmospheres, the former by their presence and the latter by their removal and near absence. Moreover, the M to L and L to T transitions are intimately tied to the condensation and character of silicate and iron grains, and the associated clouds play pivotal roles in the colors and spectra of such brown dwarfs. Spanning the effective temperature range from $\sim$2200 K to $\sim$600 K, these objects are being found in abundance and are a new arena in which condensation chemistry and the optical properties of grains is assuming astronomical importance. In this short paper, I summarize the role played by such refractories in determining the properties of these "stars" and the complexities of their theoretical treatment.
