摘要:

我们提供了基于斯皮策IRS探测旋转水线而选择的围绕前主序星AS 205 N和RNO 90的两个原行星盘中水蒸气纯旋转线的地基高分辨率N波段光谱(Δv = 15 km/s)。在甚大望远镜上使用VISIR,我们光谱解析了个别谱线,并表明它们的宽度为30-60 km/s,与开普勒圆盘中半径为1 AU的起源一致。水线的宽度与4.67微米处的CO的水线的宽度相似,这表明中红外水线的半径相似。两个圆盘中水的旋转温度分别为540和600 K。然而,线比显示非LTE激励的证据,低激励线通量被过度预测的2维磁盘LTE模型。由于观测到的谱线数量有限,而且非LTE谱线的比例也有限,因此无法精确测量水的正/对位比,但AS 205 N的最佳估计值为正/对位= 4.5 +/- 1.0,显然排除了水的低温来源。光谱表明,旋转水线的高分辨率光谱是可行的,从地面,并进一步地面高分辨率光谱很可能显着提高我们的理解最近揭示了最近斯皮策观测的内盘化学。

英文摘要:

We present ground-based high resolution N-band spectra (Δv = 15 km/s) of pure rotational lines of water vapor in two protoplanetary disks surrounding the pre-main sequence stars AS 205N and RNO 90, selected based on detections of rotational water lines by the Spitzer IRS. Using VISIR on the Very Large Telescope, we spectrally resolve individual lines and show that they have widths of 30-60 km/s, consistent with an origin in Keplerian disks at radii of ~1 AU. The water lines have similar widths to those of the CO at 4.67 micron, indicating that the mid-infrared water lines trace similar radii. The rotational temperatures of the water are 540 and 600K in the two disks, respectively. However, the lines ratios show evidence of non-LTE excitation, with low-excitation line fluxes being over-predicted by 2-dimensional disk LTE models. Due to the limited number of observed lines and the non-LTE line ratios, an accurate measure of the water ortho/para ratio is not available, but a best estimate for AS 205N is ortho/para = 4.5 +/- 1.0, apparently ruling out a low-temperature origin of the water. The spectra demonstrate that high resolution spectroscopy of rotational water lines is feasible from the ground, and further that ground-based high resolution spectroscopy is likely to significantly improve our understanding of the inner disk chemistry recently revealed by recent Spitzer observations.
