摘要:

本文给出了柴Ⅰ和柴Ⅱ恒星形成云中47个YSO样品的LR光学近红外光谱(0.6-2.4 μ m)分析结果。这些数据是POISSON项目(NTT上的原恒星光学-红外光谱调查)的一部分。其目的是通过对探测到的辐射特征的分析来确定源的吸积光度(Lacc)和质量吸积率(Macc)。我们还旨在验证现有的经验关系的可靠性和一致性连接发射线光度和Lacc。我们使用五种示踪剂(OI-6300 A,Ha,CaII-8542 A,Pab和Brg)来推导吸积光度。示踪剂提供Lacc值,当作为L* 的函数绘制时,Lacc值显示不同的散射。Brg似乎是最可靠的,因为它在L* 的整个范围内给出了最小的Lacc色散,而其他示踪剂提供了更加分散的Lacc值,这对于我们的均匀样品是不期望的。Lacc(Brg)和Lacc之间的比较从其他示踪剂也显示了系统的经验关系之间的差异。这些可能归因于不同的激发机制,有助于线发射,这可能会有所不同,我们的样品和那些校准的关系。采用由Brg导出的Lacc,我们发现所有源的Lacc=0.1L*-1L*,Macc的数量级为10^-7-10^-9 Msun/yr。在Cha I中导出的Macc与M*^2成正比,这与在其他低质量恒星形成区中发现的情况相同。在Lacc(Brg)和Lacc(Pab)的情况下观察到的差异可能与不同的固有Pab/Brg比值有关。导出的比值表明存在两种不同的发射模态,一种与风模型和吸积模型的预测一致,另一种表明在低温(<4000 K)下,相对较小的区域(10^21-10^22 cm^-3)有气体存在时会产生光学厚的发射。

英文摘要:

We present the results of the analysis of LR optical-NIR spectra (0.6-2.4 um) of a sample 47 YSOs in the ChaI and II star-forming clouds. These data are part of the POISSON project (Protostellar Optical-Infrared Spectral Survey on NTT). The aim is to determine the accretion luminosity (Lacc) and mass accretion rate (Macc) of the sources through the analysis of the detected emission features. We also aim at verifying the reliability and consistency of the existing empirical relationships connecting emission line luminosity and Lacc. We employ five tracers (OI-6300A, Ha, CaII-8542A, Pab, and Brg) to derive the accretion luminosity. The tracers provide Lacc values showing different scatters when plotted as a function of L*. The Brg seems to be the most reliable, because it gives the minimum Lacc dispersion over the entire range of L*, whereas the other tracers provide much more scattered Lacc values, which are not expected for our homogeneous sample. The comparison between Lacc(Brg) and Lacc obtained from the other tracers also shows systematic differences among the empirical relationships. These may probably be ascribed to different excitation mechanisms contributing to the line emission, which may vary between our sample and those where the relationships were calibrated. Adopting the Lacc derived from Brg, we find Lacc=0.1L*-1L* for all sources, and Macc of the order of 10^-7-10^-9 Msun/yr. The Macc derived in ChaI are proportional to M*^2, as found in other low-mass star-forming regions. The discrepancies observed in the case of Lacc(Brg) and Lacc(Pab) can be related to different intrinsic Pab/Brg, ratios. The derived ratios show the existence of two different emission modalities, one that agrees with predictions of both wind and accretion models, the other suggesting optically thick emission from relatively small regions (10^21-10^22 cm^-3) with gas at low temperatures (<4000K).
