摘要:

经典的金牛座T型星AA Tau呈现出光度变化,这归因于内盘翘曲,由内盘和倾斜的磁层之间的相互作用引起。先前对NGC 2264的研究表明,类似的光度行为在CTTS中很常见。这项工作的目标是调查的主要原因,观察到的光度变化的CTTS在NGC 2264中,目前AA Tau样光变曲线,并验证如果内部磁盘扭曲可能是负责他们的变化。我们调查他们的光谱和u-r颜色变化的面纱的变化和估计参数的内部磁盘翘曲使用的掩星模型提出的AA头。我们比较了红外和光学光变曲线,分析了负责掩星的尘埃。AA Tau样变异在几年的时间尺度上是短暂的。我们将其归因于稳定的吸积制度和非周期性的变化不稳定的吸积制度,并表明两者之间的过渡,甚至共存,是常见的。我们发现了与掩星有关的热点的证据,表明掩星结构可能位于吸积柱的底部。我们发现平均值的翘曲最大高度的0.23倍,其径向位置,符合AA头,平均11%的旋转周期之间的变化。我们表明,在内盘的消光定律表明存在的颗粒大于星际颗粒。在我们的样本中,除了一颗周期星之外,所有的观测结果都与内盘翘曲的情况一致。在NGC 2264中观测到的CTTS中,AA类Tau系统占14%,但在质量为0.7M_sun<M<2.0M_sun的系统中,这一比例增加到35%。假设随机倾斜,我们估计,几乎所有的系统在这个质量范围内可能拥有一个内部磁盘扭曲,可能是因为在低质量的恒星之间的磁场配置的变化。

英文摘要:

The classical T Tauri star AA Tau presented photometric variability attributed to an inner disk warp, caused by the interaction between the inner disk and an inclined magnetosphere. Previous studies of NGC 2264 have shown that similar photometric behavior is common among CTTS. The goal of this work is to investigate the main causes of the observed photometric variability of CTTS in NGC 2264 that present AA Tau-like light curves, and verify if an inner disk warp could be responsible for their variability. We investigate veiling variability in their spectra and u-r color variations and estimate parameters of the inner disk warp using an occultation model proposed for AA Tau. We compare infrared and optical light curves to analyze the dust responsible for the occultations. AA Tau-like variability is transient on a timescale of a few years. We ascribe it to stable accretion regimes and aperiodic variability to unstable accretion regimes and show that a transition, and even coexistence, between the two is common. We find evidence of hot spots associated with occultations, indicating that the occulting structures could be located at the base of accretion columns. We find average values of warp maximum height of 0.23 times its radial location, consistent with AA Tau, with variations of on average 11% between rotation cycles. We show that extinction laws in the inner disk indicate the presence of grains larger than interstellar grains. The inner disk warp scenario is consistent with observations for all but one periodic star in our sample. AA Tau-like systems comprise 14% of CTTS observed in NGC 2264, though this increases to 35% among systems of mass 0.7M_sun<M<2.0M_sun. Assuming random inclinations, we estimate that nearly all systems in this mass range likely possess an inner disk warp, possibly because of a change in magnetic field configurations among stars of lower mass.
