摘要:

DG Tau A是一个II类年轻恒星天体(YSO),显示了与其双极喷流相关的热和非热无线电发射。为了研究这种发射的性质,我们提出了敏感的($σ\sim2\,μ{\rm Jy \,beam^{-1}}$),卡尔G。Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)$6$和$10\,{\rm GHz}$观测。在$3.81\,{\rm yr}$上,没有观察到朝向非热射电结C的自行,以前认为这是一个弓形激波。它的准静态性质,空间分辨的可变性和偏离中心射流轴支持的情况下,它是一个固定的冲击驱动到周围介质的射流。对于内部工作面,节点A,我们推导出倾斜校正的绝对速度$258\pm23\, {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$。DG Tau A的后退反喷流显示了空间分辨的通量密度增加,表明可变的质量损失事件,这是第一次在反喷流中观察到这种事件。对于这种喷射,我们测量了事件期间$(3.7\pm1.0) \times 10^{-8}\, {\rm M_\odot\, yr^{-1}}$的电离质量损失率。在接近的喷流中没有看到同时发生的喷射,这表明它是一个不对称的过程。最后,使用辐射转移模型,我们发现,无线电发射的程度只能解释与存在的冲击,因此再电离,在流。我们的建模突出了需要考虑的相对角度大小的光学厚,薄,无线电发射从喷气机,合成光束,从它的光谱指数推导出它的物理条件。

英文摘要:

DG Tau A, a class-II young stellar object (YSO) displays both thermal, and non-thermal, radio emission associated with its bipolar jet. To investigate the nature of this emission, we present sensitive ($σ\sim2\,μ{\rm Jy \,beam^{-1}}$), Karl G.\ Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) $6$ and $10\,{\rm GHz}$ observations. Over $3.81\,{\rm yr}$, no proper motion is observed towards the non-thermal radio knot C, previously thought to be a bowshock. Its quasi-static nature, spatially-resolved variability and offset from the central jet axis supports a scenario whereby it is instead a stationary shock driven into the surrounding medium by the jet. Towards the internal working surface, knot A, we derive an inclination-corrected, absolute velocity of $258\pm23\, {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$. DG Tau A's receding counterjet displays a spatially-resolved increase in flux density, indicating a variable mass loss event, the first time such an event has been observed in the counterjet. For this ejection, we measure an ionised mass loss rate of $(3.7\pm1.0) \times 10^{-8}\, {\rm M_\odot\, yr^{-1}}$ during the event. A contemporaneous ejection in the approaching jet isn't seen, showing it to be an asymmetric process. Finally, using radiative transfer modelling, we find that the extent of the radio emission can only be explained with the presence of shocks, and therefore reionisation, in the flow. Our modelling highlights the need to consider the relative angular size of optically thick, and thin, radio emission from a jet, to the synthesised beam, when deriving its physical conditions from its spectral index.
