摘要:

Z CMa是一个双星系统,由两颗年轻的恒星组成:一颗Herbig AeBe组成的“Z CMa NW”嵌入尘埃茧中,另一颗质量较小的“Z CMa SE”被归类为FU Orionis型恒星。最近,该系统显示了近90年来可用观测报告的最大爆发。在最近的爆发中,我们检测到Z CMa系统在连续光谱和发射线光谱中偏振了2.6%,位置角仍然垂直于喷流。从高水平的偏振,我们得出结论,爆发与嵌入Herbig AeBe NW分量的尘埃。我们研究的主要结果是,在最近的“爆发”期间,Z CMa的热光度保持惊人的恒定。我们的结论是,要么是光从茧中逃逸的空腔的几何形状开辟了一条新的路径,要么是灰尘的屏幕将光反射到观察者身上变得更加有效,导致观察到的视觉亮度增加了约2.5个星等。

英文摘要:

Z CMa is a binary system which consists of two young stars: A Herbig AeBe component "Z CMa NW" embedded in a dust cocoon and a less massive component "Z CMa SE", which is classified as a FU Orionis type star. Recently, the system showed the largest outburst reported during the almost 90 years of available observations. During the recent outburst we detect that the Z CMa system is polarized by 2.6% in the continuum and emission line spectrum, with a position angle still perpendicular to the jet. From the high level of polarization we conclude that the outburst is associated with the dust embedded Herbig AeBe NW component. The main result of our studies is that the bolometric luminosity of Z CMa remained surprisingly constant during the recent "outburst". We conclude that either the geometry of the cavity through which the light escapes from the cocoon has opened a new path, or that the screen of dust, which reflects the light toward the observer became more efficient causing the observed increase of the visual brightness by about 2.5 magnitudes.
