AI总结:

本文利用ALMA多尺度观测发现FU Orionis周围存在一条吸积流束和一个缓慢宽角分子外流,通过运动学建模和光深修正分析表明流束不足以维持当前爆发,外流也与爆发无关,二者可能均为早期活动的遗迹。

摘要:

我们展示了ALMA 12米、7米及总功率(TP)阵列对FU Orionis爆发系统的观测结果,覆盖从160到25,000天文单位的空间尺度。高分辨率干涉数据揭示了一个拉长的$^{12}$CO(2-1)结构,该结构此前曾在较低分辨率下以$^{12}$CO(3-2)观测到。运动学建模表明,这一结构可以解释为向双星系统输送物质的吸积流束。该流束提供的质量下落率显著低于典型的恒星吸积率(即使在宁静状态下也是如此),表明仅凭这条流束不足以维持作为爆发型原型天体特征的高吸积率。观测到的流束可能与当前的爆发没有直接关联,而是此前一条更大质量流束的残余,后者可能曾为盘面提供了足够多的质量,使其变得不稳定并触发了FU Ori的爆发。新数据首次探测到从该天体发出的一个巨大而缓慢运动的一氧化碳分子外流。为准确评估外流的性质(质量、动量、动能),我们采用了$^{13}$CO(2-1)数据来修正光深效应。分析表明,该外流对应的是被扫集起来的物质,与当前爆发无关,类似于在其他FUor和I类原恒星天体周围观测到的缓慢分子外流。

英文摘要:

We present ALMA 12-m, 7-m & Total Power (TP) Array observations of the FU Orionis outbursting system, covering spatial scales ranging from 160 to 25,000 au. The high-resolution interferometric data reveals an elongated $^{12}$CO(2-1) feature previously observed at lower resolution in $^{12}$CO(3-2). Kinematic modeling indicates that this feature can be interpreted as an accretion streamer feeding the binary system. The mass infall rate provided by the streamer is significantly lower than the typical stellar accretion rates (even in quiescent states), suggesting that this streamer alone is not massive enough to sustain the enhanced accretion rates characteristic of the outbursting class prototype. The observed streamer may not be directly linked to the current outburst but rather a remnant of a previous, more massive streamer that may have contributed enough to the disk mass to render it unstable and trigger FU Ori's outburst. The new data detects, for the first time, a vast, slow-moving carbon monoxide molecular outflow emerging from this object. To accurately assess the outflow properties (mass, momentum, kinetic energy), we employed $^{13}$CO(2-1) data to correct for optical depth effects. The analysis indicates that the outflow corresponds to swept-up material not associated with the current outburst, similar to slow-molecular outflows observed around other FUor and Class I protostellar objects.
