形成中的大质量星团中的恒星变率

Stellar Variability in a Forming Massive Star Cluster

Yu Cheng, Morten Andersen, Jonathan C. Tan

摘要:

我们提出了一个近红外(NIR)的变化分析6 \arcmin $\times$ 6 \arcmin地区,其中包括大规模的原星团G286.21+0.17。总样本包括超过5000个物体,其中562个根据其红外颜色显示出拱星盘的迹象。这些数据包括在F110W和F160W波段间隔3年的两个时期进行的HST观测。363个天体(7%的样本)表现出显著的近红外光谱变化(Stetson指数>1.7),并且具有盘过剩的年轻恒星(YSO)的近红外光谱变化率更高(14%)。我们在两个NIR波段中发现了4个高振幅(>0.6 mag)变量。对本次调查中变化最大的对象进行跟踪和存档观察(G286.2032+0.1740)揭示了从2011年到2019年的8年内的上升光变曲线,K带增亮3.5等。总体而言,G286.2032+0.1740的时间行为类似于典型的FU Ori天体,然而,它爆发前的光度表明它的质量非常低($<0.12\:M_\odot$),使其成为一个仍在进行的爆发事件的极端情况。

英文摘要:

We present a near-infrared (NIR) variability analysis for an 6\arcmin $\times$ 6\arcmin region, which encompasses the massive protocluster G286.21+0.17. The total sample comprises more than 5000 objects, of which 562 show signs of a circumstellar disk based on their infrared colors. The data includes HST observations taken in two epochs separated by 3 years in the F110W and F160W bands. 363 objects (7% of the sample) exhibit NIR variability at a significant level (Stetson index >1.7), and a higher variability fraction (14%) is found for the young stellar objects (YSOs) with disk excesses. We identified 4 high amplitude (>0.6 mag) variables seen in both NIR bands. Follow up and archival observations of the most variable object in this survey (G286.2032+0.1740) reveal a rising light curve over 8 years from 2011 to 2019, with a K band brightening of 3.5 mag. Overall the temporal behavior of G286.2032+0.1740 resembles that of typical FU Ori objects, however its pre-burst luminosity indicates it has a very low mass ($<0.12\:M_\odot$), making it an extreme case of an outburst event that is still ongoing.
