摘要:

行星被认为是在恒星演化的早期阶段形成的,当时质量吸积仍在进行中。RY Tau是一颗T型的金牛星,年龄为几百万年,在高倾角处可以看到吸积盘,因此视线穿过风和吸积气体流。在2013年至2020年对该恒星进行的一系列光谱监测中,我们检测到H-α和NaI D吸收在径向速度下的变化(吸积)和流出(风),周期约为22天。下降气流和流出气流中的脉动是反相变化的:下降气流的增加伴随着流出气流的减少,反之亦然。这些触发器振荡在几年的观测中保持相位。我们认为,这可能是由于在螺旋桨模式的磁盘磁层边界的MHD过程。另一种可能性是,一颗大质量行星调节了圆盘中的某些过程,并提供了观察到的效果。这个周期,如果是开普勒周期的话,对应的距离是0.2天文单位,接近这颗恒星的尘埃升华半径。假设行星的存在可以通过径向速度测量来确认:如果行星质量大于2 Mj,则预期振幅大于90 m/s。

英文摘要:

Planets are thought to form at the early stage of stellar evolution when the mass accretion is still ongoing. RY Tau is a T Tauri type star at the age of a few Myr, with accretion disc seen at high inclination, so that line of sight crosses both the wind and the accretion gas flows. In a long series of spectroscopic monitoring of the star in 2013-2020, we detected variations in H-alpha and NaI D absorptions at radial velocities of infall (accretion) and outflow (wind) with a period of about 22 days. The absorptions in the infalling and the outflowing gas streams vary in anti-phase: an increase of infall is accompanied by a decrease of outflow, and vice versa. These flip-flop oscillations retain phase over several years of observations. We suggest that this may result from the MHD processes at the disk-magnetosphere boundary in the propeller mode. Another possibility is that a massive planet modulates some processes in the disc and provides the observed effects. The period, if Keplerian, corresponds to a distance of 0.2 AU, which is close to the dust sublimation radius in this star. The presence of the putative planet may be confirmed by radial velocity measurements: expected amplitude is > 90 m/s if a planet mass is > 2 Mj.
