摘要:

我们报告的检测红外选择瞬态已持续至少5年,首先确定了一个大的中红外和光学爆发从一个微弱的X射线源探测钱德拉X射线天文台。在本文中,我们排除了几种可能的爆发原因,包括经典新星,明亮的红新星,AGN耀斑,恒星合并和中等光度的光学瞬变,并解释这种瞬变是一个至少太阳质量的年轻恒星物体(YSO)从它形成的尘埃包层的残余物中吸积物质的结果,与稠密的冷气体复合体或大质量恒星形成区隔离开来。这个天体并不完全符合其他现有的YSO大爆发类别(FU Orionis类型),这可能是该天体的质量,年龄和环境的结果。也有可能这个物体是一种与YSO无关的新型瞬态。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source detected with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. In this paper we rule out several scenarios for the cause of this outburst, including a classical nova, a luminous red nova, AGN flaring, a stellar merger, and intermediate luminosity optical transients, and interpret this transient as the result of a Young Stellar Object (YSO) of at least solar mass accreting material from the remains of the dusty envelope from which it formed, in isolation from either a dense complex of cold gas or massive star formation. This object does not fit neatly into other existing categories of large outbursts of YSOs (FU Orionis types) which may be a result of the object's mass, age, and environment. It is also possible that this object is a new type of transient unrelated to YSOs.
