摘要:

最近的工作强调了恒星X射线对年轻恒星的星周盘演化的重要性,特别是对盘光蒸发。这一过程的一个特征可以从迄今为止暂时观察到的恒星吸积速率与X射线光度的关系中看出。根据X射线驱动的光蒸发模型,在质量和年龄相似的样本中,平均而言,具有较高X射线光度的恒星应该表现出较低的吸积率。为此,我们分析了在COUP观测期间用Chandra确定的猎户座星云团中年轻恒星的X射线性质以及从HST财政部计划的光度表中获得的吸积数据。利用这些数据,我们进行了统计分析之间的关系的X射线活动和吸积率使用偏线性回归分析。与以前的研究相比,在332颗年轻恒星的样本中发现的初始α关系要弱得多。然而,排除耀斑活动或将X射线亮度限制在软带(0.5 - 2.0 keV)导致更强的X射线相关性,这在统计上更显著。此外,我们还发现X射线谱拟合得到的等离子体温度的高值分量与吸积率之间存在弱的正相关关系,表明X射线谱的硬度可能会影响吸积过程。有证据表明,一个弱的光蒸发关系,理论模型预测,表明X射线光蒸发调制吸积率通过内部磁盘在后期阶段的磁盘演变,导致一个阶段的光蒸发饥饿吸积。

英文摘要:

Recent works highlight the importance of stellar X-rays on the evolution of the circumstellar disks of young stellar objects, especially for disk photoevaporation. A signature of this process may be seen in the so far tentatively observed dependence of stellar accretion rates on X-ray luminosities. According to models of X-ray driven photoevaporation, stars with higher X-ray luminosities should show lower accretion rates, on average, in a sample with similar masses and ages. To this aim, we have analyzed X-ray properties of young stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster determined with Chandra during the COUP observation as well as accretion data obtained from the photometric catalog of the HST Treasury Program. With these data, we have performed a statistical analysis of the relation between X-ray activity and accretion rates using partial linear regression analysis. The initial anticorrelation found with a sample of 332 young stars is considerably weaker compared to previous studies. However, excluding flaring activity or limiting the X-ray luminosity to the soft band (0.5 - 2.0 keV) leads to a stronger anticorrelation, which is statistically more significant. Furthermore, we have found a weak positive correlation between the higher component of the plasma temperature gained in the X-ray spectral fitting and the accretion rates, indicating that the hardness of the X-ray spectra may influence the accretion process. There is evidence for a weak anticorrelation, as predicted by theoretical models, suggesting that X-ray photoevaporation modulates the accretion rate through the inner disk at late stages of disk evolution, leading to a phase of photoevaporation-starved accretion.
