On the origin of the X - ray emission towards the early Herbig Be star MWC 297

چکیده
We present high resolution ( 0.2′′) AO-corrected coronographic near-infrared imaging on the early-type Herbig Be star MWC 297. X-ray flaring has been reported towards this young object, however this has been difficult to reconcile with its early spectral type (B1.5) and relatively high mass (∼10 M ). Our infrared and X-ray analysis shows that the X-ray flaring is likely due to a late-type star in the same field. The case of MWC 297 emphasizes the need for coronographic imaging to address the reality of X-ray emission towards Herbig Ae/Be stars, which is needed to understand the differences between low and high-mass star formation.

We present a Chandra ACIS-I X-ray observation of the region near the Herbig early-Be star MWC 297, where we detect a tight group of point X-ray sources. These are probably physically associated to MWC 297, because of their obvious clustering with respect to the more scattered field-source population. These data are compared to earlier ASCA data with much poorer spatial resolution, from which th...

We present the results of the interferometric observations of the circumstellar disk surrounding MWC 297 in the continuum at 230 GHz (1.3 mm) and in the (J=2-1) rotational transitions of 12CO,13CO and C18O using the Submillimeter Array. At a distance of 250 pc, MWC 297 is one of the closest, young massive stars (M⋆ ∼10 M⊙) to us. Compact continuum emission is detected towards MWC 297 from which...

Hard X-ray emissions from a Herbig Be star MWC297 were discovered in three separate observations spanning 5 days in April 1994 with the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA). An X-ray flare was found at the beginning of the second observation with a maximum luminosity of ≈ 4.9 × 10 ergs/s, which is five times larger than that of the quiescent phase (the first observation). It...

We investigate the origin of the near-infrared emission of the Herbig Ae star MWC 758 on sub-astronomical unit (AU) scales using spectrally dispersed low resolution (R = 35) AMBER/VLTI interferometric observations in the H (1.7 μm) and K (2.2 μm) bands. We find that the K band visibilities and closure phases are consistent with the presence of a dusty disk inner rim located at the dust evaporat...
متن کاملISO - SWS observations of Herbig Ae / Be stars : HI recombination lines in MWC 1080 and CoD - 42 ◦ 11721 ?
ISO-SWS grating spectra are obtained towards the two Herbig Ae/Be stars MWC1080 and CoD -42◦ 11721, showing hydrogen recombination lines of the Brackett, Pfund and Humphreys series. The observed line decrements in each spectral series are consistent with emission from ionized winds, as expected from these early-type stars. We compare the observed line emission with a wind model assuming a const...
