在RY Tau中寻找一致的喷流和盘旋转特征

A Search for Consistent Jet and Disk Rotation Signatures in RY Tau

Deirdre Coffey, Catherine Dougados, Sylvie Cabrit, Jerome Pety, Francesca Bacciotti

摘要:

我们提出了一个径向速度研究的RY头喷射盘系统,旨在确定是否可以观察到的角动量从磁盘到射流。许多最近的研究报告的旋转金牛座T盘,并对什么可能是一个签名的金牛座T喷流旋转。然而,由于观测困难,很少有研究报告在同一系统内的磁盘和射流,以确定是否旋转的意义匹配,因此可以解释为角动量的转移。我们报告一个明确的标志开普勒旋转的RY头盘,高原德布尔观测的基础上。我们还报告的横向径向速度分布的RY头喷流靠近恒星。我们确定了两个不同的剖面形状:一个V形出现在射流冲击位置附近,和一个平面的剖面出现在冲击之间。我们没有检测到旋转签名以上3西格玛的不确定性,在我们的任何横向削减的射流。然而,如果喷流目前处于稳定状态,这些误差本身提供了一个有价值的喷流环向速度上限10 km/s,这意味着发射半径< 0.45 AU。然而,可能的污染射流运动学,通过冲击或进动,防止任何严格的约束射流发射点,因为它的大部分角动量可以存储在磁的形式,而不是在旋转的物质。

英文摘要:

We present a radial velocity study of the RY Tau jet-disk system, designed to determine whether a transfer of angular momentum from disk to jet can be observed. Many recent studies report on the rotation of T Tauri disks, and on what may be a signature of T Tauri jet rotation. However, due to observational difficulties, few studies report on both disk and jet within the same system to establish if the senses of rotation match and hence can be interpreted as a transfer of angular momentum. We report a clear signature of Keplerian rotation in the RY Tau disk, based on Plateau de Bure observations. We also report on the transverse radial velocity profile of the RY Tau jet close to the star. We identify two distinct profile shapes: a v-shape which appears near jet shock positions, and a flat profile which appears between shocks. We do not detect a rotation signature above 3 sigma uncertainty in any of our transverse cuts of the jet. Nevertheless, if the jet is currently in steady-state, the errors themselves provide a valuable upper limit on the jet toroidal velocity of 10 km/s, implying a launch radius of < 0.45 AU. However, possible contamination of jet kinematics, via shocks or precession, prevents any firm constraint on the jet launch point, since most of its angular momentum could be stored in magnetic form rather than in rotation of matter.
