A previously unremarkable star near the Canis Major OB1/R1 association underwent an episode of multiple deep brightness minima. Light curves based on archival Gaia, ZTF, NEOWISE data and additional observations from LCO and UKIRT show that the star was not variable prior to 2019 Aug 18 (MJD 58700), and on that date started showing brightness dips of up to 3 magnitudes in the Gaia G and ZTF r bandpasses. After MJD 59500, ~800 days after the onset of these dipping events, the star returned to its previous brightness, and no significant dipping events have been recorded since. Compared to the stable phase, NEOWISE infrared photometry in the W1 and W2 bands indicates a generally redder color, and both decreases and increases in brightness at different times during the dipping episode. The spectrum of Gaia21bcv taken after the end of the dipping episode shows several neutral and ionized metal absorption lines, including Li, indicating a spectral type of ~ K5. Variable emission from [OI] was observed. The H alpha absorption in Gaia21bcv is too faint and irregular for this spectral type, indicating that the line is partly filled in by variable emission, a signature of weak episodic accretion. Gaia21bcv lies above the zero-age main sequence, but is much fainter than typical R CrB stars. We interpret the light curve of Gaia21bcv as being similar to the occultation events in Epsilon Aurigae, i.e., occultation by a disk around a companion object orbiting the primary star.
Solar flare-related eruptions followed by long-lasting occultation of the emission in the He II 304 A line and in microwaves
等离子体的温度接近色球层的一个是在太阳爆发喷射。这样的等离子体可以掩盖太阳活动区和安静区致密源的部分发射。吸收现象可以在微波范围内观察到所谓的“负爆发”,也可以在He II 304 A线中观察到。本文考虑了与相当强大的耀斑有关的三个爆发事件。从一次喷发的“负爆发”的多频记录中估计了喷发的吸收物质参数。在一些事件中,我们发现了一个爆发的暗条的“破坏”,它像云一样在一个巨大的区域上分散,作为304 A线发射的巨大凹陷。本文考虑了我们已知的三个事件中的一个。另一个事件是可能的。
Variability of Disk Emission in Pre-Main Sequence and related Stars. V. Occultation Events from the innermost disk region of the Herbig Ae Star HD 163296
HD 163296是一颗赫比格Ae型恒星,在2001年经历了V光度带亮度的戏剧性下降$\sim$ 0.8等,并在2002年经历了近红外亮度的增亮。由于这颗恒星拥有赫比格-哈罗天体,它们以流出的双极喷流的形式运动,因此有人认为亮度的下降是由于盘风中夹带的一团尘埃,阻挡了朝向恒星的视线。为了量化这一假设,我们研究了亮度下降,在可见光波长和亮度在近红外波长的HD 163296使用蒙特卡罗辐射转移代码,HOCHUNK 3D。我们创建了三个模型来理解这些事件。模型1描述了系统的静态。模型2描述了导致2001年亮度下降的结构变化。模型3描述了产生2002年观测到的近红外波长增亮所需的结构。模型2和模型3利用圆盘风和中心双极流的组合。通过在模型2和模型3中引入填充的双极腔,我们能够成功地模拟具有盘风的恒星的喷流状结构,并创造了系统亮度的下降和随后的增加。另一方面,当双极腔未填充时,模型1复制系统的静态。
