摘要:

这项工作的目的是获得吸积率的38个HAeBe星的样本。我们应用磁层吸积(MA)冲击模型再现所观察到的Balmer过剩。我们寻找可能的相关性与强度的α,[OI]6300,和Br γ发射线。在我们的样本中,平均质量吸积速率为2 x 10^-7兆太阳/年^-1。该模型未能再现四颗最热恒星(T* > 12000 K)所表现出的大的Balmer过剩。对于我们的样本,我们推导出了Macc propto M*^5和Lacc propto L*^1.2,并考虑了散射。经验校准有关的吸积和Halpha,[OI]6300,和Brgamma光度提供。我们的表达式中的斜率比低质量恒星的斜率略浅,但差异在不确定性范围内,除了[OI]6300线。Halpha 10%宽度与Macc不相关,与较低质量区域不同。平均Halpha宽度随着HAe星的投影自转速度的增大而增大,这与MA一致。在几天到几个月的时间尺度上,样品中的吸积率变化通常低于0.5 dex。我们的数据表明,巴耳末过剩的变化与线光度的同时变化无关。的巴耳末过剩和HAe星的Halpha线宽可以解释的MA的上下文中,这是不是几个HBes的情况下。MACC和M* 的陡峭趋势可以从HAeBe星的质量年龄分布特征中得到解释。用于低质量物体的线光度也是有效的估计典型的吸积率的中等质量制度下类似的经验表达式。然而,我们认为这些校准中的一些是由恒星光度驱动的。

英文摘要:

This work aims to derive accretion rates for a sample of 38 HAeBe stars. We apply magnetospheric accretion (MA) shock modelling to reproduce the observed Balmer excesses. We look for possible correlations with the strength of the Halpha, [OI]6300, and Brgamma emission lines. The median mass accretion rate is 2 x 10^-7 Msun yr^-1 in our sample. The model fails to reproduce the large Balmer excesses shown by the four hottest stars (T* > 12000 K). We derive Macc propto M*^5 and Lacc propto L*^1.2 for our sample, with scatter. Empirical calibrations relating the accretion and the Halpha, [OI]6300, and Brgamma luminosities are provided. The slopes in our expressions are slightly shallower than those for lower mass stars, but the difference is within the uncertainties, except for the [OI]6300 line. The Halpha 10% width is uncorrelated with Macc, unlike for the lower mass regime. The mean Halpha width shows higher values as the projected rotational velocities of HAe stars increase, which agrees with MA. The accretion rate variations in the sample are typically lower than 0.5 dex on timescales of days to months, Our data suggest that the changes in the Balmer excess are uncorrelated to the simultaneous changes of the line luminosities. The Balmer excesses and Halpha line widths of HAe stars can be interpreted within the context of MA, which is not the case for several HBes. The steep trend relating Macc and M* can be explained from the mass-age distribution characterizing HAeBe stars. The line luminosities used for low-mass objects are also valid to estimate typical accretion rates for the intermediate-mass regime under similar empirical expressions. However, we suggest that several of these calibrations are driven by the stellar luminosity.
