斯皮策160微米巡天观测附近FGK星

Survey of Nearby FGK Stars at 160 microns with Spitzer

Angelle Tanner, Charles Beichman, Geoff Bryden, Carey Lisse, Samantha Lawler

摘要:

斯皮策空间望远镜极大地推进了碎片盘科学,用MIPS光度计提供了24和70微米的关于附近A、F、G、K和M星周围碎片盘的大量信息,用IRS提供了8-34微米的信息。在这里,我们提出了160微米的观测这些恒星的一个小子集。在这个波长下,恒星光球层的辐射可以忽略不计,任何探测到的辐射都对应于扩展的柯伊伯带类似物中的冷尘埃。然而,斯皮策160微米观测的灵敏度受到大光束尺寸的限制,这会导致卷云和河外混乱造成的显著“噪音”。此外,160微米的测量受到恒星位置附近的光泄漏的额外复杂性的影响,其通量与恒星的近红外通量成比例。我们能够去除泄漏的污染物,并报告160微米的测量值或24颗星的上限。三颗恒星(HD 10647,HD 207129和HD 115617)在160微米处有过量,我们用它来限制它们周围碎片盘的属性。HD 10647的光谱能量分布的更详细的模型显示,70和160微米的发射可能是由于距离100 AU的小水冰粒,与哈勃太空望远镜对系统中拱星物质的光学成像一致。

英文摘要:

The Spitzer Space Telescope has advanced debris disk science tremendously with a wealth of information on debris disks around nearby A, F, G, K and M stars at 24 and 70 microns with the MIPS photometer and at 8-34 microns with IRS. Here we present 160 micron observations of a small sub-set of these stars. At this wavelength, the stellar photospheric emission is negligible and any detected emission corresponds to cold dust in extended Kuiper belt analogs. However, the Spitzer 160 micron observations are limited in sensitivity by the large beam size which results in significant ''noise'' due to cirrus and extragalactic confusion. In addition, the 160 micron measurements suffer from the added complication of a light leak next to the star's position whose flux is proportional to the near-infrared flux of the star. We are able to remove the contamination from the leak and report 160 micron measurements or upper limits for 24 stars. Three stars (HD 10647, HD 207129, and HD 115617) have excesses at 160 micron that we use to constrain the properties of the debris disks around them. A more detailed model of the spectral energy distribution of HD 10647 reveals that the 70 and 160 micron emission could be due to small water ice particles at a distance of 100 AU consistent with Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging of circumstellar material in the system.
