猎户座星云中金牛座T星的磁场测量

Magnetic-field measurements of T Tauri stars in the Orion Nebula cluster

Hao Yang, Christopher M. Johns-Krull

摘要:

本文分析了猎户座星云团中14颗金牛座T星的高分辨率($R \sim 50,000$)红外K波段阶梯光栅光谱。我们在三个磁敏感的\ion{Ti}{1}线附近$2.2\ μ$米塞曼加宽模型和一致检测到恒星光球的千高斯级磁场。这些数据在每一种情况下都是一致的,整个恒星表面都被磁场覆盖,这表明磁压可能在这些恒星的光球层中占主导地位。这些非常强的磁场本身可能是造成金牛座T星的X射线辐射相对于主序星校准所预期的产生不足的原因。我们结合这些结果与以前的测量金牛座的14颗恒星和TW长蛇座协会的5颗恒星,研究磁场性质的潜在变化,在恒星演化的第一个1000万年,发现总磁通量随着年龄的稳步下降。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of high-resolution ($R \sim 50,000$) infrared K-band echelle spectra of 14 T Tauri stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster. We model Zeeman broadening in three magnetically sensitive \ion{Ti}{1} lines near $2.2\ μ$m and consistently detect kilogauss-level magnetic fields in the stellar photospheres. The data are consistent in each case with the entire stellar surface being covered with magnetic fields, suggesting that magnetic pressure likely dominates over gas pressure in the photospheres of these stars. These very strong magnetic fields might themselves be responsible for the underproduction of X-ray emission of T Tauri stars relative to what is expected based on main-sequence star calibrations. We combine these results with previous measurements of 14 stars in Taurus and 5 stars in the TW Hydrae association to study the potential variation of magnetic-field properties during the first 10 million years of stellar evolution, finding a steady decline in total magnetic flux with age.
