T矮星

维基百科,自由的百科全书

T矮星甲烷棕矮星是光譜類型為「T」的天體[1],這些天體可能是棕矮星[2] 或年輕的自由漂流行星質量天體[3]。一顆直接成像的年輕系外行星也可能是T矮星[4]。T矮星比L矮星[1],但是比Y矮星溫暖[5]

原型:格利澤229B

[编辑]
哈伯的格利澤229B的影像。

第一顆被發現的T矮星是1995年發現的格利澤229B[6]。該天體的溫度低於1000K,光譜中顯示甲烷(CH4)、水蒸氣(H2O)和一氧化碳(CO)。 在高層大氣中,CO轉化為CH4和H2O,而在較熱的低層大氣中則相反[7][8][9]。它還顯示出(Cs)的吸收,但缺少M-矮星一氫化鈣英语Calcium monohydrideFeHTiOVO中常見的吸收特徵[10](NH3)被納入光譜分析[11](Na)和(K)也在這顆T矮星中被檢測到[12]。後來的研究發現,格利澤229B的動態質量為70±5MJ,遠高於冷卻模型所建議的質量[2]。光譜類型有些模糊。這是因為它在1.3和1.6μm處顯示出强烈的CH4吸收,表明為T7型,但在1.1、1.4、1.9和2.2μm處表現出較弱的CH4和H2O特徵,表明為T5-T6型[13]。人們還懷疑格利澤229B是一個雙星,這可以解釋它的高質量和不尋常的光譜[14]。2024年,甚大望遠鏡上的儀器證實了這種雙星性,該儀器解析了這對雙星,並將它們的軌道限制在約16個地月距離的緊密半長軸上,軌道週期約為12.1天。格利澤229Ba的質量約為38MJ,格利澤229Bb的質量約34MJ[15]

T型光譜

[编辑]
中晚期T矮星的光譜,顯示甲烷、水蒸氣、CIA氫和鉀的吸收。

光譜類型「T」於1999年首次提出,格利澤229B是當時唯一的代表[1]。接下來是格利澤570D的發現[16]SDSS 1624+00(第一顆場T矮星)[17]SDSS 1346-00(第二顆場T矮星)[18]。然而,這些是中晚期的T矮星,第一批早期的T矮星(SDSS 0837SDSS 1254SDSS 1021)是在2000年史隆數位巡天的數據中發現的。這些天體顯示出比以前發現的T矮星更弱的CH4吸收[19]。CH4首先出現在L8矮星的K波段中,而L矮星和T矮星的區別在於CH4出現在T矮星的H波段。從T0到T8,T矮星對H2O和CH4的吸收逐漸增加。中性Na和K特徵在L-和T-矮星中變寬,隨著光譜類型的增加,L/T-矮星的Na特徵深度也增加[20]。 最冷的T矮星之一是由UKIDSS發現的,名為UGPS 0722-05[21][22]。研究人員使用WISE發現了其他晚期T矮星和新發現的Y矮星天體。在UGPS 0722-05的説明下,T矮星和Y矮星之間的躍遷被定義為T9的標準和WISE 1738+2732作為Y0的標準。晚期T矮星和早期Y矮星表現出深H2O和CH4吸收特徵,T矮星和Y矮星之間的躍遷發生在500 K附近[5][23]。另一顆重要的T矮星是盧曼16B,它是距離我們最近的T矮星。它的光譜類型為T0.5,接近L/T躍遷。它在光譜中顯示出FeH的痕迹,FeH在晚期L矮星中减弱,但在早期到中期T矮星中由於雲層的干擾而增强[24][25]。使用JWST在近紅外和中紅外波段對T矮星的觀測清楚地表明,由於NH3、CH4、H2O、CO和 CO2,T矮星具有額外的吸收特徵[26]雙子星天文台的觀測表明,在T6矮星DENIS J081730.0−615520中首次檢測到硫化氫(H2S)和分子(H2[27]

次矮星

[编辑]

已知具有T光譜型的次矮星是2MASSI J0937347+293142,這是第一顆T型次矮星。由於2.1μm峰值的抑制,它顯示出藍色近紅外顏色,這可能是由於(H2)的碰撞誘導吸收(CIA)增强引起的[28][29]。次矮星的金屬豐度較低,起初只知道一個中低金屬豐度的小樣本。2020年,公民科學項目「後院世界」發現了首批光譜類型為T的極端次矮星,分別命名為「WISEA 0414−5854」和「WISEA 1810−1010」。這些天體具有不尋常的藍色,表明來自CH4的吸收較低[30]。對WISEA 1810−1010的後續觀測表明,它在光學和紅外光譜中僅顯示出由於H2O和H2引起的吸收。CH4完全缺失,這與T矮星被定義為「甲烷矮星」形成鮮明對比,WISEA 1810−1010被稱為「水蒸氣矮星」[31]。2024年,布林加斯(英語:Burgasser)等人引入了T次矮星的分類系統,該系統允許分為輕度次矮星(d/sdT)、次矮星(sdT)和極端次矮星(esdT)。低金屬性的特徵是氫分子的强碰撞誘導吸收(CIA)、模糊的甲烷和水特徵以及弱的鉀K I吸收。這項工作還確定了三顆棕矮星,它們是恆星流的候選成員。未來與JWSTEuclidRubinRoman的合作將使T次矮星的樣本新增到數千個。這項工作還確定了三顆棕矮星,它們是恆星流的候選成員[32]。JWST已經發現了第一顆遙遠的T次矮星,例如[UNCOVER-BD-1]][33]

棕矮星

[编辑]

大多數T矮星是棕矮星。棕矮星的質量低於氫燃燒的最小質量(0.075 M或78.5 MJ[34]。 UltracoolSheet 中目前有 920 個紅外光譜類型為T的天體[35]。 超冷基本參數表列出了紅外光譜類型為T且質量在2到 58 MJ之間的天體[36][37]。其它圍繞恆星白矮星運行的T型棕矮星是已知的,主矮星的年齡可以幫助確定T型矮星的質量[38][39][40]。已知最古老的T矮星之一是Wolf 1130C,它大約有 100億年的歷史。[41]

行星質量天體和系外行星

[编辑]

最早被最終確定光譜型為T的年輕孤立行星品質天體之一是SDSS J1110+0116(T5.5),它是1.2億年老的劍魚座AB移動星群成員[42]。另一個重要的發現是最近的行星質量天體之一,稱為SIMP J013656.5+093347(T2.5,12.7 ±1.0MJ),它是2億年老的船底座鄰近移動星群英语Carina-Near moving group的一部分[3]。這個天體也是變星,週期為2.4小時,可能是由於雲層造成的[43]。它還呈現了極光導致的電波發射[44]。其它年輕的T矮星候選者是從其他年輕星協中得知的,與場T矮星相比,這些天體呈現出紅色[45]。年輕的直接成像系外行星和行星質量伴星呈現T光譜類型,例如波江座51 b( T4.5-T6)[4]

雲和可變性

[编辑]
早期的雲模型(SIMP J0136+09,2MASS J2139+02)和晚期的T矮星(2MASS J0050–3322)。

兩個變化最大的棕矮星是T矮星盧曼16B,其變化高達20%[46]2MASS J2139+02,其變化幅度高達26%[47]。T矮星,尤其是年輕的早期型T矮星通常是變星。這種變化與雲的存在有關,但也提出了其它解釋,例如熱點和極光[48]。這些早期的T矮星被認為有一個雲層和一個斑駁的矽酸鹽雲層。矽酸鹽雲被認為在 L/T過渡附近消散,導致形成斑駁的矽酸鹽雲層和晚期L矮星和早期T矮星的高振幅變化[49]。 雲的中斷使更深的雲層可被用於觀測;這些較深的層更溫暖並含有FeH。這解釋了FeH的重新出現和增強,以及早期到中期T矮星的藍色近紅外顏色[25]。晚期T矮星也應該有由氯化鉀和不同的 硫化物組成的雲層。這些雲層很薄,並且存在於矽酸鹽雲的上方[49]。一顆可變的晚T矮星是WISE 0458+6434(T8.5),在一個週期內變化了13%[50]

磁場和極光

[编辑]

電波發射中探測到的第一顆T矮星是2MASS J1047+21(T6.5),它是用阿雷西博電波望遠鏡發現的[51]。從那時起,其它幾顆具有無線電發射的T矮星被發現,包括行星質量天體SIMP J013656.5+093347(T2.5)[44],以及在電波發射的説明下發現的T矮星BDR J1750+3809[52]。具有無線電發射的最冷T矮星是 WISEPA J062309.94-045624.6(T8)[53]。T矮星的電波發射類似於晚期L矮星,被認為是由極光產生的。此外H-α發射通常與L4-T8 矮星中的無線電發射有關,並被認為來自極光[54]。於 2000年發現的2Mass 1237+6526(T6.5)是一顆不尋常的強H-α發射T矮星[55]。理論上,H-α 發射、UV發射和無線電發射要麼來自冷伴星(1-2.8 R🜨;<500 K)要麼來自極光[56]

聯星

[编辑]

晚期T矮星聯星比L型聯星少見。只有8±6%具有T5-Y0主系統的系統是聯星,並且這些系統通常有幾個天文單位(AU)的分離[57]。一顆著名的T矮星聯星是波斯七(印地安座ε)[58]。這個聯星由一顆T1和一顆T6矮星組成,它們彼此繞行,間隔為2.65 AU[59]。T矮星也存在三合星系統,2M0838+15是第一個被發現的完全分辨的T矮星三合星[60]
