摘要:

主序前恒星吸积光度与发射线光度(L_acc和L_line)之间的相关关系已被发表,用于估算吸积速率。尽管这些相关性的起源是未知的,这可以归因于发射线形成和吸积机制之间的直接或间接的物理关系。结果表明,所有的(近紫外/光学/近红外)Lacc-Lstar线关联都是吸积光度与恒星光度(Lstar)关联的结果,而与Lacc-Lstar线的物理起源无关。用合成和观测数据说明了L_acc-L_line相关如何依赖于L_acc-L_star关系。我们的结论是,由于PMS星表现出L_acc-L_star相关性,这就意味着L_acc也与所有发射线的光度相关,因此,仅凭L_acc-L_line相关性不能证明它们与吸积有任何物理联系,而只能用于粗略估计吸积速率。在寻找可能具有物理意义的相关性时,我们建议使用L_acc/L_star和L_line/L_star来代替L_acc和L_line。最后讨论了T-Tauri星的Lacc对L星的依赖性比中等质量Herbig Ae/Be星的更大的发现。这是从磁层吸积的情况下,在近紫外不同的光球属性解释。

英文摘要:

Correlations between the accretion luminosity and emission line luminosities (L_acc and L_line) of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars have been published for many different spectral lines, which are used to estimate accretion rates. Despite the origin of those correlations is unknown, this could be attributed to direct or indirect physical relations between the emission line formation and the accretion mechanism. This work shows that all (near-UV/optical/near-IR) L_acc-L_line correlations are the result of the fact that the accretion luminosity and the stellar luminosity (L_star) are correlated, and are not necessarily related with the physical origin of the line. Synthetic and observational data are used to illustrate how the L_acc-L_line correlations depend on the L_acc-L_star relationship. We conclude that because PMS stars show the L_acc-L_star correlation immediately implies that L_acc also correlates with the luminosity of all emission lines, for which the L_acc-L_line correlations alone do not prove any physical connection with accretion but can only be used with practical purposes to roughly estimate accretion rates. When looking for correlations with possible physical meaning, we suggest that L_acc/L_star and L_line/L_star should be used instead of L_acc and L_line. Finally, the finding that L_acc has a steeper dependence on L_star for T-Tauri stars than for intermediate-mass Herbig Ae/Be stars is also discussed. That is explained from the magnetospheric accretion scenario and the different photospheric properties in the near-UV.
