摘要:

年轻恒星上的爆发通常被解释为吸积爆发,是由星盘或星盘连接的不稳定性引起的。然而,一些原恒星爆发可能不适合这个框架。在本文中,我们分析了光学和近红外光谱和光度学,以表征可能的年轻恒星ASASSN-15 qi的2015年爆发。$V$谱带中的$\sim 3.5$磁变亮是突然的,未分辨的上升时间小于1天。爆发指数衰减1等6天,然后逐渐恢复到爆发前的水平后,200天。突出以$\sim10,000$ K气体的释放为主。能量的爆炸性释放加速了恒星向各个方向的物质,在一个壮观的凉爽的球形风中可以看到,最大速度为1000公里/秒。随着爆发的消退,风和热气体都消失了,源回到了它的静止的F星光谱。恒星附近的星云变亮延迟了10-20天。在高达$v=11$的振动能级的发射中检测到H $_2$的荧光激发,在通量增加中也具有可能的时间延迟。中红外光谱的能量分布并不表明存在温暖的尘埃排放,虽然光学光球吸收和CO泛音排放可能与气体盘。档案测光揭示了1976年的一次早期爆发。虽然我们推测了这次爆发的可能原因,但没有一个解释是令人信服的。

英文摘要:

Outbursts on young stars are usually interpreted as accretion bursts caused by instabilities in the disk or the star-disk connection. However, some protostellar outbursts may not fit into this framework. In this paper, we analyze optical and near-infrared spectra and photometry to characterize the 2015 outburst of the probable young star ASASSN-15qi. The $\sim 3.5$ mag brightening in the $V$ band was sudden, with an unresolved rise time of less than one day. The outburst decayed exponentially by 1 mag for 6 days and then gradually back to the pre-outburst level after 200 days. The outburst is dominated by emission from $\sim10,000$ K gas. An explosive release of energy accelerated matter from the star in all directions, seen in a spectacular cool, spherical wind with a maximum velocity of 1000 km/s. The wind and hot gas both disappeared as the outburst faded and the source returned to its quiescent F-star spectrum. Nebulosity near the star brightened with a delay of 10-20 days. Fluorescent excitation of H$_2$ is detected in emission from vibrational levels as high as $v=11$, also with a possible time delay in flux increase. The mid-infrared spectral energy distribution does not indicate the presence of warm dust emission, although the optical photospheric absorption and CO overtone emission could be related to a gaseous disk. Archival photometry reveals a prior outburst in 1976. Although we speculate about possible causes for this outburst, none of the explanations are compelling.
