摘要:

到目前为止,在太阳系中只在四颗巨行星周围发现了环。在这里,我们报告发现的第一个小体环系统周围的半人马座天体(10199)Chariklo,一个机构与等效半径124 $\pm$ 9公里。多弦恒星掩星显示在Chariklo周围有两个密集的环,宽度分别为7公里和3公里,光学深度分别为0.4和0.06,轨道半径分别为391和405公里。环目前的方向与2008年的边缘几何形状一致,从而为1997年至2008年期间Chariklo系统的变暗提供了一个简单的解释,以及在同一时期冰和其他吸收特征的逐渐消失。这意味着环部分由水冰组成。这些环可能是碎片盘的残余物,可能被嵌入的三分之一大小的卫星限制。

英文摘要:

Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo, a body with equivalent radius 124$\pm$9 km. A multi-chord stellar occultation revealed the presence of two dense rings around Chariklo, with widths of about 7 km and 3 km, optical depths 0.4 and 0.06, and orbital radii 391 and 405 km, respectively. The present orientation of the ring is consistent with an edge-on geometry in 2008, thus providing a simple explanation for the dimming of Chariklo's system between 1997 and 2008, and for the gradual disappearance of ice and other absorption features in its spectrum over the same period. This implies that the rings are partially composed of water ice. These rings may be the remnants of a debris disk, which were possibly confined by embedded kilometre-sized satellites.
