年轻双星系统UY Aur中的变吸积过程

Variable Accretion Processes in the Young Binary-Star System UY Aur

Jordan M. Stone, J. A. Eisner, Colette Salyk, Craig Kulesa, Don McCarthy

摘要:

我们提出了新的UY Aur双星系统的K波段光谱。我们的数据是第一个在UY Aur A的光谱中显示H $_{2}$发射和第一个在UY Aur B的光谱中分辨Brγ线的光谱。与以前的研究相比,我们看到UY Aur A的Brγ线强度增加,而UY Aur B的Brγ和H $_{2}$线亮度降低。将Brγ线光度换算成吸积率,我们推断UY Aur A的吸积率自1994年观测到为零以来,每年增加$2 \times 10^{-9}$ M $_{\odot}$/年$^{-1}$. UY Aur B的Brγ线强度自1994年以来下降了0.54倍,但K带通量自1998年以来增加了0.9兆。UY Aur B的面纱也大幅增加。这些数据表明UY Aur B周围有一个更明亮的圆盘。如果在UY Aur B的光谱中观测到的较低的Brγ光度表明在恒星上的吸积速率本质上较小,那么UY Aur A现在以比UY Aur B更高的速率吸积。然而,小半径的消光或星周盘中的质量堆积可以解释UY Aur B周围Brγ发射的减少,即使盘的光度意味着吸积速率增加。除了我们的UY Aur系统的科学成果,我们讨论了一个专用的管道,我们已经开发了减少阶梯模式数据从ARIES摄谱仪。

英文摘要:

We present new K-band spectroscopy of the UY Aur binary star system. Our data are the first to show H$_{2}$ emission in the spectrum of UY Aur A and the first to spectrally resolve the Brγ line in the spectrum of UY Aur B. We see an increase in the strength of the Brγ line in UY Aur A and a decrease in Brγ and H$_{2}$ line luminosity for UY Aur B compared to previous studies. Converting Brγ line luminosity to accretion rate, we infer that the accretion rate onto UY Aur A has increased by $2 \times 10^{-9}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ per year since a rate of zero was observed in 1994. The Brγ line strength for UY Aur B has decreased by a factor of 0.54 since 1994, but the K-band flux has increased by 0.9 mags since 1998. The veiling of UY Aur B has also increased significantly. These data evince a much more luminous disk around UY Aur B. If the lower Brγ luminosity observed in the spectrum of UY Aur B indicates an intrinsically smaller accretion rate onto the star, then UY Aur A now accretes at a higher rate than UY Aur B. However, extinction at small radii or mass pile-up in the circumstellar disk could explain decreased Brγ emission around UY Aur B even when the disk luminosity implies an increased accretion rate. In addition to our scientific results for the UY Aur system, we discuss a dedicated pipeline we have developed for the reduction of echelle-mode data from the ARIES spectrograph.
