V2492天鹅座:2010年爆发的早期演变

V2492 Cygni: The Early Evolution of the 2010 Outburst

Colin Aspin

摘要:

我们提出了双子北光学和近红外观测天鹅座的一个年轻的爆发星,指定为V2492天鹅座的变星的总目录。该天体是两颗年轻恒星之一,彼此相距2度,最近亮度约为5 mags,据报道可能是新的FU猎户座型变星。V2492 Cyg的爆发光谱显示了整个光学和近红外的原子发射特征。在光学中,Halpha处于发射状态,并具有相关的蓝移吸收分量。远红CaII三重线也在发射中,并且与Halpha一样,具有显著的蓝移吸收。TiO分子的光学带也在发射中。在近红外,Pabeta,Brgamma和CO泛音带头是强烈的发射。这种光谱特征与EX Lupi(EXor类爆发变星的前身)在2008年极端爆发时和V1647 Ori在2003年上升阶段时所表现出的光谱特征非常相似。此外,我们认为V2492天鹅座的档案数据,并调查这颗年轻的恒星爆发前的性质。我们构建了一个静止阶段的光谱能量分布,通过模型拟合,让我们深入了解当前喷发之前的物体的星周环境。我们的调查强烈表明,V2492天鹅座爆发似乎更符合EXOR事件,其最近的2等衰落和随机变化的事实支持。

英文摘要:

We present Gemini-North optical and near-IR observations of a young eruptive star in Cygnus, designated as V2492 Cyg in the General Catalog of Variable Stars. This object is one of two young stars, located within 2 degrees of each other, that recently brightened by around 5 mags and were reported as possible new FU Orionis-type variables. The outburst spectrum of V2492 Cyg shows atomic emission features throughout the optical and near-infrared. In the optical, Halpha is in emission and has an associated blue-shifted absorption component. The far-red CaII triplet lines are also in emission and, as with Halpha, possess significant blue-shifted absorption. The optical TiO molecular bands are also in emission. In the near-infrared, Pabeta, Brgamma, and the CO overtone bandheads are strongly in emission. Such spectral characteristics are very similar to those exhibited by both EX Lupi, the progenitor of the EXor class of eruptive variables, during its 2008 extreme outburst, and V1647 Ori during its elevated phase in 2003. Additionally, we consider archival data on V2492 Cyg and investigate the pre-outburst nature of this young star. We construct a quiescent-phase spectral energy distribution which, via model fitting, gives insight into the circumstellar environment of the object prior to the current eruption. Our investigation strongly suggests that the V2492 Cyg outburst appears to be more consistent with an EXor event, a fact supported by its recent 2 mag fading and stochastic variability.
