深埋原恒星的可变性:恒星形成的新方向?

Variability of Deeply Embedded Protostars: A New Direction for Star Formation?

Doug Johnstone

摘要:

恒星的形成是一个由分子云核心的引力坍缩提供动力的过程。理论模型和观测结果表明,大部分下落的物质在到达(原)恒星之前就进入了一个原行星盘,因此盘吸积过程是(原)恒星生长速度的原因。没有根本的理由说明为什么下落和盘吸积必须是瞬间相同的。事实上,即使在圆盘内部,也可以预期存在强吸积和弱吸积的区域。总之,这些事实表明,(原)恒星质量大会应该是长期和随机的,这些随时间变化的吸积率的基本物理过程,导致应表现在可观察到的随时间变化的吸积光度变化。

英文摘要:

The formation of a star is a dynamic process fed by the gravitational collapse of a molecular cloud core. Theoretical models and observations suggest that the majority of this infalling material settles into a protoplanetary disk before reaching the (proto)star and therefore that disk accretion processes are responsible for the rate at which the (proto)star grows. There is no fundamental reason why infall and disk accretion need to be instantaneously identical. Indeed, even within the disk it might be anticipated that there are regions of strong and weak accretion. Together these facts suggest that (proto)stellar mass assembly should be both secular and stochastic and that the underlying physical processes leading to these time-variable accretion rates should manifest in observable time-dependent accretion luminosity variations.
