环双星盘温度调制的红外光变

Infrared Variability from Circumbinary Disc Temperature Modulations

Eva Bodman, Alice Quillen

摘要:

环双星盘边缘的温度应该会因照明的变化而波动,这是双星轨道相位的函数。我们探讨环双星盘温度变化作为宽带红外线曲线变异性的来源。将环双星盘边缘的壁近似为一个宽的光学厚圆柱体,表面温度依赖于其照度,我们发现,由1 M $_\odot$和0.5 M $_\odot$组成的双星在$\sim$ 15.5天的周期内,在3.77和4.68 μm处表现出最大的振幅变化$\sim$ 9%。光变曲线的变化幅度和形状对双星中恒星的光度和质量比、环双星盘的半径、双星分离和轨道倾角都很敏感。光变曲线的变化是平滑的,非常红,对于探索的大部分参数空间具有非正弦形状。可能的形态包括具有平坦区域的单个峰、不同高度的两个峰或单个凹陷。

英文摘要:

The temperature of a circumbinary disc edge should undulate due to variations in illumination as a function of binary orbital phase. We explore circumbinary disc temperature variations as a source of broad-band infrared light curve variability. Approximating the wall of a circumbinary disc edge as a wide optically thick cylinder with surface temperature dependent on its illumination, we find that a binary comprised of 1 M$_\odot$ and 0.5 M$_\odot$ pre-main sequence stars in a $\sim$15.5 day period, would exhibit the largest amplitude variations of $\sim$9% at 3.77 and 4.68 μm as seen by a distant observer. The amplitude of variations and shape of the light curve is sensitive to the luminosity and mass ratios of the stars in the binary, the radius of the circumbinary disc clearing, the binary separation, and the orbital inclination. The light curve variations are smooth and very red with a non-sinusoidal shape for most of the parameter space explored. Possible morphologies include a single peak with a flat region, two peaks of different heights or a single dip.
