AI总结:

本研究报道了 Gaia21bcv 恒星在约800天内发生的一系列深度掩食事件,通过多波段光变曲线和光谱分析,将其解释为类似御夫座ε星的伴星盘掩食现象。

摘要:

一颗先前不起眼的恒星,位于大犬座 OB1/R1 星协附近,经历了一系列多次深度亮度极小事件。基于存档的 Gaia、ZTF、NEOWISE 数据以及 LCO 和 UKIRT 的额外观测得到的光变曲线显示,该恒星在 2019 年 8 月 18 日(MJD 58700)之前没有变亮现象,而在该日期开始出现亮度下降,在 Gaia G 和 ZTF r 波段中下降幅度高达 3 星等。在 MJD 59500 之后,即这些掩食事件开始后约 800 天,该恒星恢复到之前的亮度,此后未记录到显著的掩食事件。与稳定阶段相比,NEOWISE 在 W1 和 W2 波段的红外测光显示其颜色普遍偏红,并且在掩食事件期间的不同时间点亮度既有下降也有上升。在掩食事件结束后拍摄的 Gaia21bcv 光谱显示出若干中性及电离金属吸收线,包括 Li,表明其光谱类型约为 K5。观测到 [OI] 的变发射线。Gaia21bcv 中的 H alpha 吸收线对于该光谱类型而言过于微弱且不规则,表明该谱线部分被变发射线填充,这是弱间歇性吸积的特征。Gaia21bcv 位于零年龄主序之上,但比典型的 R CrB 星暗得多。我们将 Gaia21bcv 的光变曲线解释为类似于御夫座ε星的掩食事件,即被绕主星运行的伴星周围的盘所掩食。

英文摘要:

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.
