前主序星Ca II红外三重态发射线的测量

Measurements of the Ca II infrared triplet emission lines of pre-main-sequence stars

摘要:

我们调查了60个前主序星(PMS)在四个分子云和五个移动集团的色球活动。认为色球层强烈的活动是由恒星自转产生的发电机过程驱动的。相反,一些研究人员指出PMS恒星的色球层是由它们的原行星盘的质量吸积激活的。在这项研究中,钙II红外三重态(IRT)的发射线进行了研究,利用中等和高分辨率光谱。观察是在Nayuta/MALLS和Subaru/HDS上进行的。此外,还使用了Keck/HIRES、VLT/UVES和VLT/X-Shooter获得的存档数据。小的比例的等效宽度表明,钙II IRT发射线主要出现在致密的色球区域。七颗PMS星显示出宽的发射线。其中,四颗PMS星的发射线通量比年轻疏散星团中的低质量恒星亮一个数量级以上。这四颗PMS星的质量吸积速率都很高,说明这四颗PMS星的宽而强的辐射是大质量吸积的结果。然而,大多数PMS星的发射线都很窄。吸积率与发射线通量之间没有明显的相关性。在年轻的疏散星团中,具有窄发射线的PMS星的Ca II红外辐射线表面通量与恒星辐射光度的比值R '_IRT与低质量星的最大R'_IRT一样大。这一结果表明,大多数PMS星,即使在经典的金牛座T星阶段,具有类似于零年龄主序星的色球活动。

英文摘要:

We investigated the chromospheric activity of 60 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in four molecular clouds and five moving groups. It is considered that strong chromospheric activity is driven by the dynamo processes generated by the stellar rotation. In contrast, several researchers have pointed out that the chromospheres of PMS stars are activated by mass accretion from their protoplanetary disks. In this study, the Ca II infrared triplet (IRT) emission lines were investigated utilizing medium- and high-resolution spectroscopy. The observations were conducted with Nayuta/MALLS and Subaru/HDS. Additionally, archive data obtained by Keck/HIRES, VLT/UVES, and VLT/X-Shooter was used. The small ratios of the equivalent widths indicate that Ca II IRT emission lines arise primarily in dense chromospheric regions. Seven PMS stars show broad emission lines. Among them, four PMS stars have more than one order of magnitude brighter emission line fluxes compared to the low-mass stars in young open clusters. The four PMS stars have a high mass accretion rate, which indicates that the broad and strong emission results from a large mass accretion. However, most PMS stars exhibit narrow emission lines. No significant correlation was found between the accretion rate and flux of the emission line. The ratios of the surface flux of the Ca II IRT lines to the stellar bolometric luminosity, R'_IRT, of the PMS stars with narrow emission lines are as large as the largest R'_IRT of the low-mass stars in the young open clusters. This result indicates that most PMS stars, even in the classical T Tauri star stage, have chromospheric activity similar to zero-age main-sequence stars.
