Y矮星

维基百科,自由的百科全书

Y矮星是具有Y型光谱的天体。要么是棕矮星自由漂浮的行星质量天体。它们的温度比T矮星更低,大约在500 K(227°C;440°F)左右[1][2]。与巨行星木星比较,Y矮星的光谱与木星相似[3]

早期理论和发现

[编辑]
詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜 的图像,显示了最冷的Y矮星WISE 0855-0714的运动。

L矮星T矮星中提到字母Y可用于额外的光谱类别[4]。在2000年代初期,已经有理论认为在 T矮星之外应该存在温度更低的天体,并且这些天体将弥合T矮星与太阳系巨行星之间的空隙。比T矮星冷的天体主要会发射红外线作为热辐射,因此使用红外望远镜进行观测和发现,例如WISESpitzerJWST是意料之中的。对这种寒冷物体的建模预测了(Na D)和(K I)特征在500 K左右消失,而水云在400-500 K左右出现。预测云存在于160 K左右以下。[5]。这些云的形成在萨达斯基气态巨行星分类法中得到了早期的理论化[6]

在2010年和2011年提出了一些候选者之后[7][8][9],用WISE发现了更大的Y矮星样本,并使用UGPS 0722-05做为T9的标准和 WISE 1738+2732做为Y0的标准[1][2]。一个重大发现是发现了 WISE J0855−0714,它仍然是发现的最冷、最接近的Y矮星[10]。它的温度为285 K(12 °C;53 °F),具有最新的 Y4光谱型[11]

Y型光谱

[编辑]
WISE 0359−5401的JWST光谱,显示不同的分子吸收带。

Y矮星的特征是其深甲烷(CH4)和水蒸气 (H2O)波段,以及较窄的J波段峰值的峰值。 如果光谱类型晚于T8,则J波段峰值会变得更窄。早期观测还显示了近红外光谱中存在(NH3)的证据[1][2]。使用JWST的现代观测检测到Y矮星大气中的 CH4、H2O、NH3一氧化碳(CO)和 二氧化碳(CO2)。尽管预测存在磷化氢(PH3),但却从大气中消失[12][13]。JWST的观测表明,模型低估了CO2的丰度,而高估了晚期T和Y矮星的 PH3。对缺乏PH3的解释是,对化学的理解不完整或大气的不同混合,它凝结成磷酸二氢铵(NH4H2PO4)的云。通过更好地了解 CO2化学成分与CO的化学关系[14]。 CH4、H2O和NH3吸收特性随著温度的降低而加深。5 μm峰没有显示出这种相关性,而是显示出很大的多样性。该区域受多种分子的影响,包括CO和CO2,这些分子在不同来源之间的差异很大。这种变化的原因可能是由于不同的表面重力或由于金属量的差异[13][15]。注意到CO2从T矮星到Y矮星略有下降,但CO没有[15]硫化氢 (H2S)用于提高T矮星和Y矮星的光谱拟合。目前被检测到 H2S的Y矮星只有WISE 1828+26WISE 0359−5401[16]

较冷的低层大气

[编辑]

通常棕矮星具有绝热形式的压力温度(P–T)剖面,这意味著压力和温度随深度的增加而增加。JWST的光谱学和光度测定表明Y矮星具有非标准绝热形式的P-T剖面。这意味著大气的上层温度较高,而大气的下层温度较低。这可以通过这些孤立天体的快速旋转来解释。 快速旋转导致动力学、热和化学变化,从而破坏了热量从低层大气到高层大气的对流传输。这种不同的P-T分布会影响光谱的形状,并影响Y矮星大气中含碳和含氮分子的组成[17]

云和可变性

[编辑]

自2000年代初以来,Y矮星就存在著水云的理论[6][5]。然而,Y矮星也可能有由其它凝聚物组成的云,如硫化物氯化钾(KCl)和可能的磷酸二氢铵(NH4H2PO4)。这些云将存在于较冷的 Y 矮星的任何水云下方[18]。一些Y矮星可能太热而无法形成水云,但可能还有其它可观测的云[19]。第一颗发现的Y矮星变星是WISE 1405+5534(Y0),它的变率是用一个亮点建模的[20]。另一颗Y矮星变星是WISE 1738+2732(Y0)及其变化可以用KCl和硫化钠 (Na2S)云分解成斑驳的云层来解释[19]。 WISE 0855−0714(Y4)被怀疑有水冰云,这应该会产生较大的振幅变化。它确实显示出4-5%的相对较小的变化,这可能意味著两个半球都有相似的云层覆盖[21]

奇特的Y矮星

[编辑]
通过甲烷排放检测到CWISEP J1935-1546中的极光。

目前,只有后缀pec代表“奇特(peculiar)”或“不寻常(unusual)”,存在于Y矮星中。任何光谱特性都以这种方式表示,例如WISE 1639−6847(Y0pec)的Y波段峰值和 Y-J颜色,与其它Y矮星不同[22]。在某些情况下,这种特性可以用非太阳的金属量或不寻常的表面重力来解释。一个例子是CWISE J1055+5443,为此,研究人员发现低重力模型更适合光谱,这可能是由于年龄较小[23]。JWST观测发现了两颗Y矮星,具有含碳分子的不寻常光谱特征。CWISEP J1047+54显示异常强的CO和CO2,并且可能较弱的CH4[13]。在WISE J1206+8401中发现了类似的强CO和CO2吸收特征[15]。另一方面,WISE J0535−75显示没有可辨别的CO2和几乎无法检测到的CO,但与具有相似温度的Y矮星相比,它也显示出更强的NH3吸收[13]。JWST另一个值得注意的发现是CWISEP J1935-1546光谱中甲烷的排放,这可以用极光的存在来解释[24]。最早被怀疑的Y型次矮星之一是WISEA J1534−1043,它显示出不寻常的蓝色。然而,需要光谱观测来证实这一假设[25]

系外行星和伴星

[编辑]

Y矮星的质量估计在3-29MJ之间,但更常见的是低于21 MJ。这使它们类似于大质量系外行星[26][27][28]

只有一颗已确认的Y矮星与一颗称为WD 0806−661 B白矮星共同移动[29]。尽管质量与行星相同,但罗德里格斯(英语:Rodriguez)等人认为它不太可能以与行星相同的方式形成[8]。此外,还有围绕著一颗主序星运行的T/Y伴侣,罗斯19B[30]。存在一小部分温度低于500 K的系外行星样本(候选者),将来可以通过光谱学证实为Y矮星。这些系外行星是 印地安座εAb(275 K)[31]WD 1202–232b、WD 2105–82b(均为低温)[32]GALEX J071816.4+373139b(400 K)[33]WD 0310–688b(248+84
−61
K)[34]

联星

[编辑]

在发现Y矮星的早期,由晚期T矮星主星和Y矮星伴星组成的CFBDS J1458+10是发现的第二对联星[9]。其它此类联星包括WISEPC J1217+1626[35]WISE J0146+4234[36]。第一对Y+Y联星是JWST在2023年发现的WISE J0336−0143[37]

个别发现

[编辑]

Y矮星发现时程表:

  • 2011年2月:卢曼等人报导了WD 0806−661 B的发现,这是一颗与附近白矮星相伴的棕矮星,温度为c.300 K(27 °C;80 °F),质量为7 MJ[29]
  • 2011年2月:不久之后,刘等人发表了一篇关于一颗“非常冷”(c.370 K(97 °C;206 °F))的棕矮星围绕另一颗质量非常低的棕矮星运行的报导,并指出:“鉴于其低光度、非典型颜色和低温,CFBDS J1458+10B是假设的Y光谱类的有希望的候选者[9]。”
  • 2011年8月:科学家利用美国国家航空暨太空总署(NASA)的广角红外巡天探测器(WISE)的数据发现了六颗温度低至25 °C(298 K;77 °F)天体,他们将其归类为Y矮星[38][39]。这些发表在两篇论文中[1][2]
  • 2012年7月:发现了7颗新的Y矮星,使确认的Y矮星总数达到14颗[40][41]。其中一颗名为WISE 1828+2650的Y矮星,截至2011年8月,是最冷棕矮星的记录保持者——它根本不发射可见光,这种天体更像是一颗自由漂浮的行星,而不是一颗恒星。 最初估计WISE 1828+2650的大气温度低于300 K(27 °C;80 °F)[42]。之后,它的温度被修正了,新的估计将其范围定在250至400 K(−23至127 °C;−10至260 °F)[43]
  • 2012年11月:发现WISE J1639−6847。截至2024年2月,它是已知距离地球第二近的Y矮星。[44]
  • 2014年4月:WISE 0855−0714据估计,温度分布约为225至260 K(−48至−13 °C;−55至8 °F),质量为3至10 MJ[10]。这也是不寻常的,因为观察到它的视差意味著与太阳系的距离接近至7.2 ± 0.7光年。
  • 2015年5月:哈伯太空望远镜发现了三颗Y矮星,使确认的Y矮星总数达到21颗[49]
  • 2019年8月:对CatWISE星表的搜索显示CWISP J1935-1546,它是最冷的棕矮星之一,估计温度为270至360 K(−3至87 °C;26至188 °F)[50]。2023年,宣布CWISEP J1935-1546因极光而产生甲烷排放[51]
  • 2020年2月:CatWISE目录结合了美国国家航空暨太空总署的WISE和NEOWISE调查[53]。它扩大了微弱源的数量,因此被用来寻找最微弱的棕矮星,包括Y矮星。CatWISE研究人员发现了17颗Y矮星候选者。史匹哲太空望远镜的初始颜色表明,CW1446是最红、最冷的Y矮星之一[54]。史匹哲的其它资料显示,CW1446是第五红的棕矮星,温度约为310至360 K(37至87 °C;98至188 °F),距离约为10秒差距[55]
  • 2020年8月:通过后院世界项目发现了五颗Y矮星候选者[56]
  • 2021年4月:CatWISE和后院世界团队在一篇合作论文中发表了新的Y矮星候选者[57]
  • 2021年8月:罗斯19B,后院世界团队在T/Y边界附近发现了一颗围绕M矮星运行的古老天体[30]
  • 2023年4月:WISE J0336−0143被JWST确认为Y矮星联星[58]。B次矮星可能是截至2023年12月确认的最冷的Y矮星之一,估计温度为246至404 K(−27至131 °C;−17至268 °F)[59]
  • 2023年11月:CWISE J1055+5443,先前被归类为T矮星的天体被确认为附近的Y矮星[60]
  • 2023年12月:发表三颗新的Y矮星候选者[59]。截至2024年2月,已确认的Y矮星总数为27颗,另有30颗Y矮星候选者。
