摘要:

远紫外(FUV;在经典金牛座T型系统中,吸积中心星的辐射场影响着巨行星形成期间的盘化学。以前的努力,以测量真正的恒星+吸积产生的FUV光度(热气体发射线和连续)已经复杂的低灵敏度和/或低光谱分辨率的组合,并没有包括从明亮的Ly $α$发射线的贡献。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个高分辨率的光谱研究的FUV辐射场的16 T金牛星的尘埃盘显示一系列的演化状态。我们包括重建的Ly $α$线轮廓并去除原子和分子盘发射(来自H $_{2}$和CO荧光)以提供FUV连续谱线和热气线(例如,Ly $α$,\ion{N}{5},\ion{C}{4},\ion{He}{2})首次获得了金牛座T星的可观样本。我们发现典型的金牛座T星FUV辐射场在距离中心恒星1天文单位处的通量是星际平均辐射场的$\sim$ 10 $^{7}$倍。Ly $α$发射线平均贡献总FUV通量的88%,FUV连续谱平均占8%。FUV连续体和Ly $α$通量与\ion{C}{4}通量密切相关,表明吸积过程主导了这两种组分的产生。平均而言,在莱曼极限(912 Å)和1110 Å处的H $\sim$(0 - 0)吸收带之间,仅发射总FUV通量的0.5%。总辐射场和分量级高分辨率辐射场以机器可读格式公开提供。

英文摘要:

The far-ultraviolet (FUV; 912--1700 Å) radiation field from accreting central stars in Classical T Tauri systems influences the disk chemistry during the period of giant planet formation. Previous efforts to measure the true stellar+accretion-generated FUV luminosity (both hot gas emission lines and continua) have been complicated by a combination of low-sensitivity and/or low-spectral resolution and did not include the contribution from the bright Ly$α$ emission line. In this work, we present a high-resolution spectroscopic study of the FUV radiation fields of 16 T Tauri stars whose dust disks display a range of evolutionary states. We include reconstructed Ly$α$ line profiles and remove atomic and molecular disk emission (from H$_{2}$ and CO fluorescence) to provide robust measurements of both the FUV continuum and hot gas lines (e.g., Ly$α$, \ion{N}{5}, \ion{C}{4}, \ion{He}{2}) for an appreciable sample of T Tauri stars for the first time. We find that the flux of the typical Classical T Tauri Star FUV radiation field at 1 AU from the central star is $\sim$ 10$^{7}$ times the average interstellar radiation field. The Ly$α$ emission line contributes an average of 88% of the total FUV flux, with the FUV continuum accounting for an average of 8%. Both the FUV continuum and Ly$α$ flux are strongly correlated with \ion{C}{4} flux, suggesting that accretion processes dominate the production of both of these components. On average, only $\sim$ 0.5% of the total FUV flux is emitted between the Lyman limit (912 Å) and the H$_{2}$ (0 -- 0) absorption band at 1110 Å. The total and component-level high-resolution radiation fields are made publicly available in machine-readable format.
