摘要:

上下文经典金牛座T型星(CTTS)的吸积过程可以通过分析紫外和X射线发射谱线来研究,这些谱线可以跟踪热气体流,并作为激波后下落等离子体的诊断。在紫外波段,有较高的光谱分辨率,这些线的特点是相当复杂的配置文件,其来源仍然不清楚。目的。我们研究了密度结构(碎裂)吸积流碰撞区紫外和X射线发射的起源,研究了吸积流碎裂和由此产生的激波后区结构是否以及如何决定所观测到的紫外和X射线发射谱线的轮廓。方法.我们通过二维MHD模拟,模拟了由一系列密集的斑点组成的吸积流对CTTS色球层的影响。我们探讨不同层次的流碎裂和吸积率。根据模型结果,我们合成了C IV(1550 nm)和OVIII(18.97 nm)的谱线轮廓。结果吸积团对恒星色球层的撞击产生反向激波,通过吸积团传播,并产生激波上升流。这些上升的气流反过来又撞击和冲击随后下落的碎片。其结果是,几个等离子体成分的下降速度,密度和温度不同的存在altogether。C IV双峰的轮廓的特点是由两个主要组成部分:一个窄的和红移的速度$\approx$ 50公里秒$^{-1}$和其他更广泛的,并与红移的速度在200 $\approx$ 400公里秒$^{-1}$的子组件。OVIII谱线的轮廓比C IV更对称,并且红移到速度为$\approx$ 150 km s $^{-1}$。结论.我们的模型预测的C IV线的配置文件非常相似的观察到的,并解释了它们的起源在一个自然的方式,由于流碎片。

英文摘要:

Context. The accretion process in Classical T Tauri Stars (CTTSs) can be studied through the analysis of some UV and X-ray emission lines which trace hot gas flows and act as diagnostics of the post-shock downfalling plasma. In the UV band, where higher spectral resolution is available, these lines are characterized by rather complex profiles whose origin is still not clear. Aims. We investigate the origin of UV and X-ray emission at impact regions of density structured (fragmented) accretion streams.We study if and how the stream fragmentation and the resulting structure of the post-shock region determine the observed profiles of UV and X-ray emission lines. Methods. We model the impact of an accretion stream consisting of a series of dense blobs onto the chromosphere of a CTTS through 2D MHD simulations. We explore different levels of stream fragmentation and accretion rates. From the model results, we synthesize C IV (1550 Å) and OVIII (18.97 Å) line profiles. Results. The impacts of accreting blobs onto the stellar chromosphere produce reverse shocks propagating through the blobs and shocked upflows. These upflows, in turn, hit and shock the subsequent downfalling fragments. As a result, several plasma components differing for the downfalling velocity, density, and temperature are present altoghether. The profiles of C IV doublet are characterized by two main components: one narrow and redshifted to speed $\approx$ 50 km s$^{-1}$ and the other broader and consisting of subcomponents with redshift to speed in the range 200 $\approx$ 400 km s$^{-1}$. The profiles of OVIII lines appear more symmetric than C IV and are redshifted to speed $\approx$ 150 km s$^{-1}$. Conclusions. Our model predicts profiles of C IV line remarkably similar to those observed and explains their origin in a natural way as due to stream fragmentation.
