摘要:

2008年3月,年轻星团NGC 2264被Corot卫星以前所未有的光度精度连续观测了23天。我们在这里提出的第一个结果的分析吸积人口。我们打算寻找可能的光变曲线的变化相同的性质,在经典的金牛座T星AA头,这是由于一个磁控制的内部磁盘的扭曲,这是直接相关的恒星磁场和内部磁盘区域之间的相互作用。我们分析了83个以前已知的经典金牛座T星属于NGC 2264的柯罗光变曲线,并根据它们的形态进行分类。我们还研究了Corot光变曲线形态作为一个功能的斯皮策为基础的分类的星盘系统。基于Corot光变曲线形态学的分类与Spitzer IRAC分类的系统非常一致。类AA Tau光变曲线的百分比随着内盘的消散而减少,从厚内盘系统的40% ± 10%减少到贫血盘系统的36% ± 16%,而在裸露光球系统中没有。事实上,91% ± 29%的CTTS与裸露光球表现出纯粹的斑点状的变化,而只有18% ± 7%的厚盘系统这样做,大概是那些在低倾角,因此没有可变的遮蔽。AA Tau型光变曲线相当常见,在具有内部尘埃盘的年轻恒星中至少有30 - 40%的频率。光变曲线的时间演化表明,位于正转半径附近的内部盘弯曲的结构,负责遮蔽事件,在几个(~ 1-3)旋转周期的时间尺度上变化。这可能反映了恒星-磁盘磁层相互作用的高度动态性质。

英文摘要:

The young cluster NGC 2264 was observed with the Corot satellite for 23 days uninterruptedly in March 2008 with unprecedent photometric accuracy. We present here the first results of the analysis of the accreting population. We intended to look for possible light curve variability of the same nature as that observed in the classical T Tauri star AA Tau, which was attributed to a magnetically controlled inner disk warp, which is directly associated with the interaction between the stellar magnetic field and the inner disk region. We analysed the Corot light curves of 83 previously known classical T Tauri stars that belong to NGC 2264 and classified them according to their morphology. We also studied the Corot light curve morphology as a function of a Spitzer-based classification of the star-disk systems. The classification derived on the basis of the Corot light curve morphology agrees very well with the Spitzer IRAC-based classification of the systems. The percentage of AA Tau-like light curves decreases as the inner disk dissipates, from 40% +- 10% in systems with thick inner disks to 36% +- 16% in systems with anemic disks and none in naked photosphere systems. Indeed, 91% +- 29% of the CTTS with naked photospheres exhibit pure spot-like variability, while only 18% +- 7% of the thick disk systems do so, presumably those seen at low inclination and thus free of variable obscuration. AA Tau-like light curves are found to be fairly common, with a frequency of at least ~ 30 to 40% in young stars with inner dusty disks. The temporal evolution of the light curves indicates that the structure of the inner disk warp, located close to the corotation radius and responsible for the obscuration episodes, varies over a timescale of a few (~ 1-3) rotational periods. This probably reflects the highly dynamical nature of the star-disk magnetospheric interaction.
