Models of Accretion Disks around Young Stars

چکیده
We discuss the importance of accretion in calculating disk models for young stellar objects. In particular, we show that a disk inner rim, irradiated by both the star and the accretion shocks at the stellar surface, can naturally explain recent observations of DG Tau with the Keck interferometer. We present models for two objects, with mass accretion rates differing by almost two orders of magnitude, to illustrate the effects of accretion on the overall disk structure and emission.

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars
Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...
متن کاملA simple model for accretion disks in the post-Newtonian approximation
p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }a:link { } In this paper, the evolution of accretion disks in the post-Newtonian limit has been investigated. These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework o...
متن کاملWww Database of Models of Accretion Disks Irradiated by the Central Star
We announce the release of a catalog of physical models of irradiated accretion disks around young stars based on the modelling techniques by D’Alessio et al. The WWW catalog includes ∼ 3000 disk models for different central stars, disk sizes, inclinations, dust contents and mass accretion rates. For any of them, radial profiles of disk physical parameters and synthetic spectral energy distribu...
متن کاملThe Stellar Mass-accretion Rate Relation in T Tauri Stars and Brown Dwarfs
Recent observations show a strong correlation between stellar mass and accretion rate in young stellar and sub-stellar objects, with the scaling Ṁacc ∝ M 2 ∗ holding over more than four orders of magnitude in accretion rate. We explore the consequences of this correlation in the context of disk evolution models. We note that such a correlation is not expected to arise from variations in disk an...
متن کاملEvolution of emission line activity in intermediate mass young stars
We present optical spectra of 45 intermediate mass Herbig Ae/Be stars. Together with the multi-epoch spectroscopic and photometric data compiled for a large sample of these stars and ages estimated for individual stars by using pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks, we have studied the evolution of emission line activity in them. We find that, on average, the Hα emission line strength decreases...
