4 The Outburst of V 1647 Ori Revealed by Spitzer
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present Spitzer Space Telescope observations of V1647 Ori, the outburst-ing source lighting McNeil's nebula, taken near the optical peak of the outburst in early March 2004. The source is easily detected in all Spitzer imaging bands from 3.6-70 µm. The fluxes at all wavelengths are roughly a factor of 15 brighter than pre-outburst levels; we measure a bolometric luminosity of 44 L ⊙. We posit that this event is due to an increase in the accretion luminosity of the source. Simple models of an accretion disk plus tenuous envelope can qualitatively explain the observed pre-and post-outburst spectral energy distributions. The accretion activity implied by our results indicates that the outburst may be intermediate between FUor and EXor-type events. We also report the discovery of a previously unknown mid-infrared counterpart to the nearby Herbig-Haro object HH 22.

We present new observations of the fundamental ro-vibrational CO spectrum of V1647 Ori, the young star whose recent outburst illuminated McNeil’s Nebula. Previous spectra, acquired during outburst in 2004 February and July, had shown the CO emission lines to be broad and centrally peaked—similar to the CO spectrum of a typical classical T Tauri star. In this paper, we present CO spectra acquire...

We present new optical, near-IR, and mid-IR observations of the young eruptive variable star V1647 Orionis that went into outburst in late 2004 for approximately two years. Our observations were taken one year after the star had faded to its pre-outburst optical brightness and show that V1647 Ori is still actively accreting circumstellar material. We compare and contrast these data with existin...

We report on photometric (BVRIJHK) and low dispersion spectroscopic observations of V1647 Ori, the star that drives McNeil’s Nebula, between 10 February and 7 May 2004. The star is photometrically variable atop a general decline in brightness of about 0.3-0.4 magnitudes during these 87 days. The spectra are featureless, aside from Hα and the Ca II infrared triplet in emission, and a Na I D abso...

We present post-outburst (∼ 100 days after outburst) radio continuum observation of the region (∼ 30 ×30) around McNeil’s nebula (V1647 Orionis). The observations were carried out using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), India, at 1272 MHz on 2004 Feb 14.5 UT. Although 8 sources have been detected within a circular diameter of 25 centred on V1647 Ori, we did not detect any radio contin...

We combine our V , R, I , J , H , K s photometric and near infrared spectroscopic observations of the outburst star V1647 Ori obtained in the period 12 February–24 April 2004 with published data in order to make inferences on the geometry of the object and the nature of the eruption. The main results are as follows: (1) Our photometric results do not indicate systematic fading of the star in th...
