摘要:

我们已经使用斯皮策/IRAC进行了光度监测计划的IC 1396 A暗球,以研究中红外(3.6 - 8微米)的变化,严重嵌入年轻恒星对象(YSO)存在于该地区。我们获得的光变曲线覆盖了14天的时间跨度,每天两次的节奏为69个YSO,和连续的光变曲线,约12秒的节奏超过7小时的38个YSO。我们的相对测光的典型精度为1-2%的长时间跨度的数据和几个mmag,对应于小于0.5%,为7小时连续的“启动模式”的数据。超过一半的YSO显示出可检测的变化,振幅从~0.05 MAG到~0.2 MAG。约30%的YSO显示出准正弦光变曲线形状,表观周期为5-12天,光变曲线振幅与IRAC带通上的波长大致无关。我们已经构建了模型,模拟随时间变化的光谱能量分布的I类和I I YSO,以试图解释这些光变曲线。基于这些模型,显然是周期性的光变曲线是最好的解释YSO模型,其中一个或两个高纬度的光球点加热的内壁的星周盘,在那里我们看到的磁盘在相当大的倾角。盘的不均匀性,如增加吸积漏斗流向恒星热点的高度,增强了光变曲线的调制。我们样本中的其他YSO显示了一系列的光变曲线形状,其中一些可能是由于不同的吸积率或盘阴影事件。其中一颗恒星,IC 1396 A-47,显示出3.5小时的光变周期;这颗天体可能是PMS盾牌座δ恒星。

英文摘要:

We have used Spitzer/IRAC to conduct a photometric monitoring program of the IC1396A dark globule in order to study the mid-IR (3.6 - 8 micron) variability of the heavily embedded Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) present in that area. We obtained light curves covering a 14 day timespan with a twice daily cadence for 69 YSOs, and continuous light curves with approximately 12 second cadence over 7 hours for 38 YSOs. Typical accuracies for our relative photometry were 1-2% for the long timespan data and a few mmag, corresponding to less than 0.5%, for the 7 hour continuous "staring-mode" data. More than half of the YSOs showed detectable variability, with amplitudes from ~0.05 mag to ~0.2 mag. About thirty percent of the YSOs showed quasi-sinusoidal light curve shapes with apparent periods from 5-12 days and light curve amplitudes approximately independent of wavelength over the IRAC bandpasses. We have constructed models which simulate the time dependent spectral energy distributions of Class I and I I YSOs in order to attempt to explain these light curves. Based on these models, the apparently periodic light curves are best explained by YSO models where one or two high latitude photospheric spots heat the inner wall of the circumstellar disk, and where we view the disk at fairly large inclination angle. Disk inhomogeneities, such as increasing the height where the accretion funnel flows to the stellar hotspot, enhances the light curve modulations. The other YSOs in our sample show a range of light curve shapes, some of which are probably due to varying accretion rate or disk shadowing events. One star, IC1396A-47, shows a 3.5 hour periodic light curve; this object may be a PMS Delta Scuti star.
