摘要:

利用哈勃空间望远镜成像光谱仪(HST/STIS)获得的高角分辨率光谱提供了关于恒星喷流现象的丰富的形态学和运动学信息,这使我们能够有效地检验理论模型。在这项工作中,采用以前数值模拟发射区磁盘风机制加速的磁化外流产生的流入条件,使用PLUTO代码对传播区的恒星喷流进行了数值模拟。通过将这两个区域相匹配,可以通过比较合成的和观测到的位置-速度图来推断出某一天体的磁离心加速机制。我们发现,完全不同的喷流,像那些从年轻的金牛座T星DG-Tau和RW-Aur,可能源于相同的磁盘风模型的不同配置的磁场在磁盘表面。这一结果支持了所有观测到的喷流可能是由同一机制产生的观点。

英文摘要:

High angular resolution spectra obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST/STIS) provide rich morphological and kinematical information about the stellar jet phenomenon, which allows us to test theoretical models efficiently. In this work, numerical simulations of stellar jets in the propagation region are executed with the PLUTO code, by adopting inflow conditions that arise from former numerical simulations of magnetized outflows, accelerated by the disk-wind mechanism in the launching region. By matching the two regions, information about the magneto-centrifugal accelerating mechanism underlying a given astrophysical object can be extrapolated by comparing synthetic and observed position-velocity diagrams (PVDs). We show that quite different jets, like those from the young T Tauri stars DG-Tau and RW-Aur, may originate from the same disk-wind model for different configurations of the magnetic field at the disk surface. This result supports the idea that all the observed jets may be generated by the same mechanism.
