AI总结:

本研究针对主序前偏心双星DQ Tau和AK Sco,通过高分辨率偏振光谱观测证实二者存在磁层吸积,发现DQ Tau A磁拓扑发生极向到环向的转变,且磁场变化可能导致吸积的周期间差异。

摘要:

主序前(PMS)恒星的质量吸积与抛射是恒星演化的关键过程,因为它们塑造了恒星稳定性所必需的角动量输运。经典T Tauri星和小质量主序前恒星的磁层吸积在单星情形下已得到广泛研究。这一过程无法直接推广到主序前双星系统,因为该系统中存在潮汐与引力效应,以及/或者来自环双星盘的吸积(在偏心轨道情形下,双星成员的间距会发生变化)。本研究利用高分辨率偏振光谱时间序列,研究了两颗主序前偏心双星DQ Tau和AK Sco的吸积过程。我们通过研究每个系统的吸积相关发射线与磁场,探究磁层吸积如何应用于这些系统。我们发现,尽管两个系统的构型略有不同,且AK Sco的磁场较弱,但二者均表现出磁层吸积的迹象。此外,DQ Tau A的磁拓扑相较于此前研究的轨道周期发生了变化:此前以极向分量为主,现在则以环向分量为主。我们还报告了该成员星吸积增强的现象,且远星点处未出现吸积爆发,这表明该成员星的磁场变化可能是系统吸积存在周期间变化的原因。我们得出结论:两个系统均存在磁层吸积,同时还存在引力效应,这一点在由更大质量成员星组成的AK Sco系统中尤为明显。

英文摘要:

The accretion and ejection of mass in pre-main sequence (PMS) stars are key processes in stellar evolution as they shape the stellar angular momentum transport necessary for the stars' stability. Magnetospheric accretion onto classical T Tauri stars and low-mass PMS stars has been widely studied in the single-star case. This process can not be directly transferred to PMS binary systems, as tidal and gravitation effects, and/or accretion from a circumbinary disc (with variable separation of the components in the case of eccentric orbits) are in place. This work examines the accretion process of two PMS eccentric binaries, DQ Tau and AK Sco, using high-resolution spectropolarimetric time series. We investigate how magnetospheric accretion can be applied to these systems by studying the accretion-related emission lines and the magnetic field of each system. We discover that both systems are showing signs of magnetospheric accretion, despite their slightly different configurations, and the weak magnetic field of AK Sco. Furthermore, the magnetic topology of DQ Tau A shows a change relative to the previous orbital cycle studied: previously dominated by the poloidal component, it is now dominated by the toroidal component. We also report an increase of the component's accretion and the absence of an accretion burst at the apastron, suggesting that the component's magnetic variation might be the cause of the inter-cycle variations of the system's accretion. We conclude on the presence of magnetospheric accretion for both systems, together with gravitational effects, especially for AK Sco, composed of more massive components.
