摘要:

EX Lup是一颗低质量的前主序星,偶尔会出现与吸积有关的爆发。在这里,我们提出了JWST/MIRI中等分辨率光谱获得EX Lup十四年后,其强大的爆发。EX Lup现在处于静止状态,显示II类光谱。我们检测到森林的发射线从分子先前确定的经典金牛座T盘的红外光谱:H2O,OH,H2,HCN,C2 H2,和CO2。对有机分子的探测表明,它们在大爆发期间消失后又回来了。来自水和OH的谱线第一次被解混,并且将提供它们在内盘中的分布和密度的大大改进的表征。光谱还显示了来自温暖的亚微米尺寸的无定形硅酸盐颗粒在10和18 μ m处的宽发射带。在2008年的爆发中,结晶镁橄榄石颗粒在内盘中被退火到1金以内,但它们在10微米硅酸盐波段的光谱特征后来消失了。通过JWST,我们通过它们的19.0,20.0和23.5 um发射重新发现了这些晶体,其强度意味着这些粒子距离恒星约3 au。这表明2008年形成的结晶颗粒被向外输送,现在接近水雪线,在那里它们可能被合并成星子。EX Lup包含几个小行星和行星形成的关键示踪剂,是研究可变光度对行星形成物质的影响的理想实验室,并可能解释太阳系彗星中观察到的高结晶分数。

英文摘要:

EX Lup is a low-mass pre-main sequence star that occasionally shows accretion-related outbursts. Here, we present JWST/MIRI medium resolution spectroscopy obtained for EX Lup fourteen years after its powerful outburst. EX Lup is now in quiescence and displays a Class II spectrum. We detect a forest of emission lines from molecules previously identified in infrared spectra of classical T Tauri disks: H2O, OH, H2, HCN, C2H2, and CO2. The detection of organic molecules demonstrates that they are back after disappearing during the large outburst. Spectral lines from water and OH are for the first time de-blended and will provide a much improved characterization of their distribution and density in the inner disk. The spectrum also shows broad emission bands from warm, sub-micron size amorphous silicate grains at 10 and 18 um. During the outburst, in 2008, crystalline forsterite grains were annealed in the inner disk within 1 au, but their spectral signatures in the 10 um silicate band later disappeared. With JWST we re-discovered these crystals via their 19.0, 20.0, and 23.5 um emission, whose strength implies that the particles are at ~3 au from the star. This suggests that crystalline grains formed in 2008 were transported outwards and now approach the water snowline, where they may be incorporated into planetesimals. Containing several key tracers of planetesimal and planet formation, EX Lup is an ideal laboratory to study the effects of variable luminosity on the planet-forming material and may provide explanation for the observed high crystalline fraction in solar system comets.
