天鹅座OB7恒星形成区YSO间的近红外光变

Near-infrared Variability among YSOs in the Star Formation Region Cygnus OB7

Scott J. Wolk, Thomas S. Rice, Colin A. Aspin

摘要:

本文对天鹅座OB 7星云中Lynds 1003/1004暗云的1平方度区域进行了约100个历元的J、H和K波段的近红外时间序列测光分析。从广域红外巡天探测器(WISE)的数据增强,我们确定了96个候选磁盘轴承年轻恒星物体(YSO)在该地区。其中,30个显然是I类或更早。利用英国赤望远镜(UKIRT)上的广角成像相机(WFCAM),我们获得了三个观测季节的测光结果,测光不确定度优于0.05等,低至J ~17。我们研究了在监测领域的约50个YSO的详细的光变曲线和颜色轨迹。我们调查的可变性和周期性的YSO和发现的数据是一致的,所有YSO是可变的,在这些波长的时间尺度上的几年。我们将变星分为四类:1)在长时间尺度上具有稳定的周期性变星,2)表现出短寿命周期行为的变星,3)长持续时间变星,4)随机变星。一些YSO变异性无法简单分类。我们可以解释大部分观察到的变化是由于动态和旋转的磁盘中的变化,包括不对称或不断变化的阻塞分数,变化的内部磁盘孔的大小,以及吸积率的变化。总的来说,我们发现该星团的I类:II类比率与<100万年的年龄相一致,至少有一个个体,变化很大,源年龄约为10万年。我们还发现了一个周期为17.87天的II类食双星系统。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of near-infrared time-series photometry in J, H, and K bands for about 100 epochs of a 1 square degree region of the Lynds 1003/1004 dark cloud in the Cygnus OB7 region. Augmented by data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), we identify 96 candidate disk bearing young stellar objects (YSOs) in the region. Of these, 30 are clearly Class I or earlier. Using the Wide-Field imaging CAMera (WFCAM) on the United Kingdom InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT), we were able to obtain photometry over three observing seasons, with photometric uncertainty better than 0.05 mag down to J ~17. We study detailed light curves and color trajectories of ~50 of the YSOs in the monitored field. We investigate the variability and periodicity of the YSOs and find the data are consistent with all YSOs being variable in these wavelengths on time scales of a few years. We divide the variability into four observational classes: 1) stars with periodic variability stable over long timescales, 2) variables which exhibit short-lived cyclic behavior, 3) long duration variables, and 4) stochastic variables. Some YSO variability defies simple classification. We can explain much of the observed variability as being due to dynamic and rotational changes in the disk, including an asymmetric or changing blocking fraction, changes to the inner disk hole size, as well as changes to the accretion rate. Overall, we find that the Class I:Class II ratio of the cluster is consistent with an age of < 1Myr, with at least one individual, wildly varying, source ~ 100,000 yr old. We have also discovered a Class II eclipsing binary system with a period of 17.87 days.
