摘要:

经典金牛座T星(CTTS)的X射线特征不同于较老的前主序星,例如弱线金牛座T星(WTTS)。CTTS显示出软过剩和偏离低密度日冕极限的氦类三胞胎。我们测试这些功能是否与吸积或存在的磁盘通过观察IM Lup,一个磁盘轴承对象显然在CTTS和WTTS之间的过渡没有明显的吸积。我们分析了钱德拉光栅光谱和额外的XMM-牛顿数据IM Lup和伴随的光谱,其中一些同时采取的X射线观测。我们拟合了X射线发射线,并将Ha发射线分解为不同的分量。在X射线中,IM Lup有一个明亮而热的活动日冕,其中第一电离电位低的元素被耗尽。类氦氖IX三重态处于低密度状态,但由于计数数量少,在90%的置信水平上不能排除高密度的情况。在所有的X射线性质IM Lup类似于一个主序星,但它也是兼容的CTTS签名的90%的置信水平,因此,我们不能决定是否软过剩和偏离低密度日冕极限的氦类三胞胎在CTTS需要吸积或只存在一个磁盘。IM Lup是色球活性的,这解释了Ha中的大部分发射。尽管它的低等效宽度,Ha线轮廓的复杂性让人想起CTTS。我们提出的质量吸积率估计为10 e-11 Msun/yr。

英文摘要:

Classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) differ in their X-ray signatures from older pre-main sequence stars, e.g. weak-lined TTS (WTTS). CTTS show a soft excess and deviations from the low-density coronal limit in the He-like triplets. We test whether these features correlate with accretion or the presence of a disk by observing IM Lup, a disk-bearing object apparently in transition between CTTS and WTTS without obvious accretion. We analyse a Chandra grating spectrum and additional XMM-Newton data of IM Lup and accompanying optical spectra, some of them taken simultaneously to the X-ray observations. We fit the X-ray emission lines and decompose the Ha emission line in different components. In X-rays IM Lup has a bright and hot active corona, where elements of low first-ionisation potential are depleted. The He-like Ne IX triplet is in the low-density state, but due to the small number of counts a high-density scenario cannot be excluded on the 90% confidence level. In all X-ray properties IM Lup resembles a main-sequence star, but it is also compatible with CTTS signatures on the 90% confidence level, thus we cannot decide if the soft excess and deviations from the low-density coronal limit in the He-like triplets in CTTS require accretion or only the presence of a disk. IM Lup is chromospherically active, which explains most of the emission in Ha. Despite its low equivalent width, the complexity of the Ha line profile is reminiscent of CTTS. We present an estimate for the mass accretion rate of 10e-11 Msun/yr.
