Herbig Ae/Be星双星系统的质量比和形成机制

The mass ratio and formation mechanisms of Herbig Ae/Be star binary systems

H. E. Wheelwright, R. D. Oudmaijer, S. P. Goodwin

摘要:

为了研究45颗Herbig Ae/Be星的双星性质,我们对它们进行了B波段和R波段的光谱测量。除了一个已知是双星系统的目标外,所有的目标都被一个独特的光谱天体测量特征探测到,它们的间隔为~0.1-2.0弧秒。样本中的一些物体表现出似乎不属于二元系统的光谱天文特征。我们发现,这些可能是由于光反射的尘埃晕或物质夹带在风中。我们提出了8个新的二进制检测和4个检测的未知组件在以前发现的二进制系统。这些数据证实了之前的报道,即Herbig Ae/Be恒星有很高的双星比例,在这里提供的样本中为74+/-6%。我们使用光谱天文学去卷积技术分离的空间未分辨的二进制光谱到个人的组成光谱。分离的光谱使我们能够确定单个二元组分的光谱类型,这反过来又允许确定这些系统的质量比。此外,我们还对所采用的方法和助焊剂污染源的影响进行了评价。我们发现,系统质量比的分布是不一致的随机配对从初始质量函数,这似乎是强大的,尽管检测偏差。相反,质量比分布与通过磁盘碎片形成二进制的情况大致一致。

英文摘要:

We present B and R band spectroastrometry of a sample of 45 Herbig Ae/Be stars in order to study their binary properties. All but one of the targets known to be binary systems with a separation of ~0.1-2.0 arcsec are detected by a distinctive spectroastrometric signature. Some objects in the sample exhibit spectroastrometric features that do not appear attributable to a binary system. We find that these may be due to light reflected from dusty halos or material entrained in winds. We present 8 new binary detections and 4 detections of an unknown component in previously discovered binary systems. The data confirm previous reports that Herbig Ae/Be stars have a high binary fraction, 74+/-6 per cent in the sample presented here. We use a spectroastrometric deconvolution technique to separate the spatially unresolved binary spectra into the individual constituent spectra. The separated spectra allow us to ascertain the spectral type of the individual binary components, which in turn allows the mass ratio of these systems to be determined. In addition, we appraise the method used and the effects of contaminant sources of flux. We find that the distribution of system mass ratios is inconsistent with random pairing from the Initial Mass Function, and that this appears robust despite a detection bias. Instead, the mass ratio distribution is broadly consistent with the scenario of binary formation via disk fragmentation.
