摘要:

我们目前的光谱偏振观测的几个分子线获得的亚毫米阵列(SMA)对富碳AGB星IRC+10216。我们探测到了CO 3-2、SiS 19-18和CS 7-6谱线的线偏振,并绘制了谱线图.偏振出现在距离恒星约450 AU的地方,相对于斯托克斯I发生蓝移。SiS 19-18的极化模式似乎与局部径向磁场配置一致。然而,CO 3-2和CS 7-6线极化表明包络内整体复杂的磁场形态。这项工作证明了使用光谱偏振观测进行层析成像的磁场在拱星信封的可行性。

英文摘要:

We present spectro-polarimetric observations of several molecular lines obtained with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) toward the carbon rich AGB star IRC+10216. We have detected and mapped the linear polarization of the CO 3-2, SiS 19-18 and CS 7-6 lines. The polarization arises at a distance of ~450 AU from the star and is blueshifted with respect the Stokes I. The SiS 19-18 polarization pattern appears to be consistent with a locally radial magnetic field configuration. However, the CO 3-2 and CS 7-6 line polarization suggests an overall complex magnetic field morphology within the envelope. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using spectro-polarimetric observations to carry out tomographic imaging of the magnetic field in circumstellar envelopes.
