摘要:

本文介绍了猎户座A原恒星HOPS-68的斯皮策空间望远镜红外光谱。中红外光谱显示在11.1、16.1、18.8、23.6、27.9和33.6微米处的结晶子结构叠加在宽的9.7和18微米无定形硅酸盐特征上;该子结构与橄榄石端元镁橄榄石的存在很好地匹配。结晶硅酸盐经常被观察到作为红外辐射特征围绕恒星周围的磁盘赫比格Ae/Be星和金牛T星。然而,这是第一个明确的检测结晶硅酸盐吸收在一个寒冷的,下降,原恒星信封。我们估计晶体质量分数沿视线首先假设结晶硅酸盐位于一个冷吸收屏幕,其次利用辐射转移模型。得到的晶体质量分数分别为0.14和0.17,明显大于在星际介质中发现的上限(< 0.02-0.05)。我们认为,无定形硅酸盐在热的内盘和/或包层区域内退火,随后通过原恒星外流的夹带向外输送到包层中

英文摘要:

We present the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Spectrograph spectrum of the Orion A protostar HOPS-68. The mid-infrared spectrum reveals crystalline substructure at 11.1, 16.1, 18.8, 23.6, 27.9, and 33.6 microns superimposed on the broad 9.7 and 18 micron amorphous silicate features; the substructure is well matched by the presence of the olivine end-member forsterite. Crystalline silicates are often observed as infrared emission features around the circumstellar disks of Herbig Ae/Be stars and T Tauri stars. However, this is the first unambiguous detection of crystalline silicate absorption in a cold, infalling, protostellar envelope. We estimate the crystalline mass fraction along the line-of-sight by first assuming that the crystalline silicates are located in a cold absorbing screen and secondly by utilizing radiative transfer models. The resulting crystalline mass fractions of 0.14 and 0.17, respectively, are significantly greater than the upper limit found in the interstellar medium (< 0.02-0.05). We propose that the amorphous silicates were annealed within the hot inner disk and/or envelope regions and subsequently transported outward into the envelope by entrainment in a protostellar outflow
