过渡天体和弱金牛T星周围的残余气体和尘埃

Residual Gas & Dust Around Transition Objects and Weak T Tauri Stars

Greg W. Doppmann, Joan R. Najita, John S. Carr

摘要:

年轻恒星周围的残留气体可以使恒星旋转,使类地行星的轨道变圆,并拂走那些被认为是类地行星形成标志的尘埃碎片。我们已经进行了一个敏感的搜索残留气体和尘埃的类地行星区域周围的年轻恒星的年龄范围从几百万年到~10万年的年龄。使用高分辨率的4.7微米光谱的过渡对象和弱金牛座T星,我们寻找弱连续过剩和CO的基本发射,仔细校正恒星的贡献后,观察到的光谱。我们发现,从过渡对象的CO排放是较弱的,位于更远离恒星比CO排放的非过渡金牛座T星具有类似的恒星吸积率。差异可能是化学和/或动力学效应的结果(即,低CO丰度或接近低质量行星)。弱金牛T星在低通量水平(5 x 10^(-20)- 10^{-18} W/m^2)下没有CO基本辐射。我们说明了我们的研究结果可以用来限制在这些系统中的残留磁盘气体含量,并讨论其潜在的影响,恒星和行星形成。

英文摘要:

Residual gas in disks around young stars can spin down stars, circularize the orbits of terrestrial planets, and whisk away the dusty debris that is expected to serve as a signpost of terrestrial planet formation. We have carried out a sensitive search for residual gas and dust in the terrestrial planet region surrounding young stars ranging in age from a few Myr to ~10 Myr in age. Using high resolution 4.7 micron spectra of transition objects and weak T Tauri stars, we searched for weak continuum excesses and CO fundamental emission, after making a careful correction for the stellar contribution to the observed spectrum. We find that the CO emission from transition objects is weaker and located further from the star than CO emission from non-transition T Tauri stars with similar stellar accretion rates. The difference is possibly the result of chemical and/or dynamical effects (i.e., a low CO abundance or close-in low-mass planets). The weak T Tauri stars show no CO fundamental emission down to low flux levels (5 x 10^(-20) - 10^{-18} W/m^2). We illustrate how our results can be used to constrain the residual disk gas content in these systems and discuss their potential implications for star and planet formation.
