摘要:

本文介绍了用FORS 1/VLT对猎户座σ星形成区进行大面积U带巡天的结果。我们结合U波段测光和文献数据,从斯皮策在FORS 1场中探测到的所有天体(187)的U波段过量发射计算吸积光度和质量吸积率,并被Hernandez等人(2007)归类为可能的星团成员。样本恒星的质量范围从~0.06到~1.2 Msun;其中72颗显示出盘的证据,我们使用无盘恒星的颜色作为光球模板,测量质量吸积率Macc在<10^{-11}到10^{-9} Msun/年之间。我们的研究结果证实了Macc对中心天体质量的依赖性,对于低质量恒星,这种依赖性更强,而对于质量大于~0.3 Msun的恒星,Macc的扩展范围为~2个数量级。我们讨论了这些结果的背景下,磁盘演化模型的影响。最后,我们分析了Macc与Spitzer波段的超额辐射的关系,发现在Macc ~10^{-10} Msun/yr时,内盘由光学薄向光学厚转变。

英文摘要:

This paper presents the results of an U band survey with FORS1/VLT of a large area in the sigma Orionis star-forming region. We combine the U-band photometry with literature data to compute accretion luminosity and mass accretion rates from the U-band excess emission for all objects (187) detected by Spitzer in the FORS1 field and classified by Hernandez et al. (2007) as likely members of the cluster. The sample stars range in mass from ~0.06 to ~1.2 Msun; 72 of them show evidence of disks and we measure mass accretion rates Macc between <10^{-11} and few 10^{-9} Msun/yr, using the colors of the diskless stars as photospheric templates. Our results confirm the dependence of Macc on the mass of the central object, which is stronger for low-mass stars and flattens out for masses larger than ~0.3 Msun; the spread of Macc for any value of the stellar mass is ~2 orders of magnitude. We discuss the implications of these results in the context of disk evolution models. Finally, we analyze the relation between Macc and the excess emission in the Spitzer bands, and find that at Macc ~10^{-10} Msun/yr the inner disks change from optically thin to optically thick.
