经典金牛T星中H、He I和Ca II谱线发射的起源

Origins of the H, He I, and Ca II Line Emission in Classical T Tauri Stars

John Kwan, William Fischer

摘要:

我们进行本地激发计算,以获得线的不透明度和发射率比,并将它们与H,He I,O I,Ca II和Na I线的观测特性进行比较,以确定密度,温度和光子电离率。我们发现,紫外光电离是最可能的激发机制,用于产生的He I 10830不透明,产生所有相关的吸收功能。我们还计算了观测速度v_obs = +/- 150 km/s时径向风和下沉模式的比线通量。所有的模型结果,连同观察到的吸收和发射特性之间的相关性和窄和宽的发射组件之间,被用来推断的起源强H,He I,和Ca II宽线发射。我们的结论是,前两个主要出现在一个径向流出,是高度cloudly。风体积的大部分由密度约为10^9 cm^-3的气体填充,其光学厚度比He I 10830和H α大,但比He I 5876、Pa γ和Ca II红外三重态小。光学厚的He I 5876发射主要发生在密度大于或等于10^11 cm^-3、温度大于或等于1.5x10^4 K的区域,而光学厚的H α和Pa γ发射主要发生在密度约为10^11 cm^-3、温度介于8750和1.25x10^4 K之间的区域。在产生给定v_obs的观测线通量时,这些发射团的覆盖因子足够小,不会引起He I或H线中恒星和面纱连续体的显著吸收。强烈的钙II宽线发射可能出现在磁层吸积流和磁盘的边界层,在那里的气体耗散的旋转能量的一部分,然后沿磁场线下降。所需的密度和温度约为10^12 cm^-3,小于或等于7500 K。

英文摘要:

We perform local excitation calculations to obtain line opacities and emissivity ratios and compare them with observed properties of H, He I, O I, Ca II, and Na I lines to determine the density, temperature, and photon ionization rate. We find that UV photoionization is the most probable excitation mechanism for generating the He I 10830 opacities that produce all the associated absorption features. We also calculate the specific line flux at an observed velocity of v_obs = +/- 150 km/s for both radial wind and infall models. All the model results, together with observed correlations between absorption and emission features and between narrow and broad emission components, are used to deduce the origins of the strong H, He I, and Ca II broad line emission. We conclude that the first two arise primarily in a radial outflow that is highly clumpy. The bulk of the wind volume is filled by gas at a density ~10^9 cm^-3 and optically thick to He I 10830 and H alpha, but optically thin to He I 5876, Pa gamma, and the Ca II infrared triplet. The optically thick He I 5876 emission occurs mostly in regions of density greater than or equal to 10^11 cm^-3 and temperature greater than or equal to 1.5x10^4 K, while the optically thick H alpha and Pa gamma emission occur mostly in regions of density around 10^11 cm^-3 and temperature between 8750 and 1.25x10^4 K. In producing the observed line fluxes at a given v_obs, the covering factor of these emission clumps is sufficiently small not to incur significant absorption of the stellar and veiling continua in either He I or H lines. The strong Ca II broad line emission likely arises in both the magnetospheric accretion flow and the disk boundary layer, where the gases dissipate part of their rotational energies before infalling along magnetic field lines. The needed density and temperature are ~10^12 cm^-3 and less than or equal to 7500 K.
