我们研究了与年轻恒星天体(YSOs)相关的星周多环芳香烃(PAHs)在其恒星活动作用下的演化过程。我们分析了10个YSOs的AKARI近红外(2.6–4.4微米)长缝光谱数据,重点关注波长为3.3微米的芳香族特征以及3.4–3.6微米的脂肪族特征。光谱拟合结果显示,不同目标之间在脂肪族与芳香族特征的通量比、脂肪族特征轮廓的形状以及芳香族特征的中心波长方面存在很大差异。特别是,HD 97048和Elias 1在波长长于3.5微米处表现出强烈的脂肪族特征,这与先前研究中报道的氢化纳米金刚石特征一致。我们发现烃类尘埃的性质在YSO活动的影响下发生变化,其中尘埃的演化程度可能与YSO的年龄以及星周尘埃的数量有关。此外,在H2O和CO2冰特征的变化与脂肪族特征轮廓之间观察到相关性,这表明CO2冰的形成与脂肪族烃的演化之间存在联系。最后,我们发现芳香族特征中心波长的变化与脂肪族特征轮廓的形状之间存在显著相关性。这些发现可能与一个初步设想相符,即星周PAHs通过YSO活动产生的高能粒子辐照而转化为纳米金刚石。
英文摘要
We investigate the processing of the circumstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with young stellar objects (YSOs) through their stellar activities. We analyze the AKARI near-infrared (2.6$-$4.4 $μ$m) long-slit spectral data of 10 YSOs, focusing on the aromatic feature at a wavelength of 3.3 $μ$m and the aliphatic features at 3.4$-$3.6 $μ$m. The spectral fitting results show large variations from target to target in the flux ratio of the aliphatic to aromatic features, the shape of the aliphatic feature profile, and the central wavelength of the aromatic feature. In particular, HD 97048 and Elias 1 show strong aliphatic features at wavelengths longer than 3.5 $μ$m, which is consistent with the hydrogenated nanodiamond features reported in previous studies. We find that the properties of the hydrocarbon dust vary under the influence of the YSO activity, where the degree of dust processing is likely to be related to the age of the YSO and the amount of the circumstellar dust. In addition, correlation is observed between the variations of the H$_2$O and CO$_2$ ice features and the aliphatic feature profiles, suggesting connection between the formation of CO$_2$ ice and the processing of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Finally, we find a significant correlation between the variations in the central wavelength of the aromatic feature and the shape of the aliphatic feature profile. These findings may be consistent with a tentative scenario in which circumstellar PAHs are converted to nanodiamonds through irradiation by high-energy particles produced by YSO activity.
