摘要:

年轻的密近双星在其周围的环双星盘中清除了中心空腔,恒星仍然可以从中吸积物质。这一过程发生在最初的天文单位内,并且仍然没有得到很好的限制,因为直到现在,观测证据都是通过光谱学收集的。年轻天体HD 200775(MWC 361)是一个巨大的光谱双星(距离约15.9mas,约5.0天文单位),具有不确定的分类(早期/晚期Be),显示出强烈和可变的H α发射。我们的目标是研究在AU尺度上产生Halpha线的机制。结合径向速度测量和天文测量数据在文献中,我们确定了新的轨道参数。利用CHARA阵列上的VEGA仪器,我们在整个轨道周期(~3.6年)内以低和中等光谱分辨率(R~1600和5000)对HD200775的Halpha发射进行了空间和光谱解析。我们观察到,Halpha等效宽度随轨道相位而变化,并增加接近近星点,从理论模型预测的质量转移从circumbinary磁盘的主磁盘的增加所预期的。此外,使用光谱vibration和微分相位,我们发现边际变化的典型程度的Halpha发射(在1至2西格玛水平)和位置(在1至5西格玛水平)。由高斯FWHM探测的H α发射的空间范围在升交点处最小(0.67 +/-0.20 mas,即,0.22 +/-0.06天文单位),在近星点时超过两倍。此外,高斯光心在与次级相反的方向上略有位移,排除了所有或大部分的H α发射是由于吸积到次级上的情况。这些发现,加上宽的Halalpha线轮廓,可能是由于非球形风增强在近星点。

英文摘要:

Young close binaries clear central cavities in their surrounding circumbinary disk from which the stars can still accrete material. This process takes place within the very first astronomical units, and is still not well constrained as the observational evidence has been gathered, until now, only by means of spectroscopy. The young object HD200775 (MWC361) is a massive spectroscopic binary (separation of ~15.9mas, ~5.0~AU), with uncertain classification (early/late Be), that shows a strong and variable Halpha emission. We aim to study the mechanisms that produce the Halpha line at the AU-scale. Combining the radial velocity measurements and astrometric data available in the literature, we determined new orbital parameters. With the VEGA instrument on the CHARA array, we spatially and spectrally resolved the Halpha emission of HD200775, at low and medium spectral resolutions (R~1600 and 5000) over a full orbital period (~3.6 years). We observe that the Halpha equivalent width varies with the orbital phase, and increases close to periastron, as expected from theoretical models that predict an increase of the mass transfer from the circumbinary disk to the primary disk. In addition, using spectral visibilities and differential phases, we find marginal variations of the typical extent of the Halpha emission (at 1 to 2-sigma level) and location (at 1 to 5-sigma level). The spatial extent of the Halpha emission, as probed by a Gaussian FWHM, is minimum at the ascending node (0.67+/-0.20 mas, i.e., 0.22+/-0.06 AU), and more than doubles at periastron. In addition, the Gaussian photocenter is slightly displaced in the direction opposite to the secondary, ruling out the scenario in which all or most of the Halpha emission is due to accretion onto the secondary. These findings, together with the wide Halpha line profile, may be due to a non-spherical wind enhanced at periastron.
