First AU-scale observations of V1647 Orionis with VLTI/MIDI

چکیده
The young eruptive star V1647 Ori was observed with MIDI, the mid-infrared interferometric instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), on March 2, 2005. We present the first spectrally resolved interferometric visibility points for this object. Our results show that (1) the mid-infrared emitting region is extended, having a size of ≈7 AU at 10 μm; (2) no signatures of a close companion can be seen; (3) the 8−13 μm spectrum exhibits no obvious spectral features. Comparison with similar observations of Herbig Ae stars suggests that V1647 Ori probably possesses a disk of moderate flaring. A simple disk model with T ∼ r−0.53,Σ ∼ r−1.5, Md = 0.05 M is able to fit both the spectral energy distribution and the observed visibility values simultaneously.

We present the first high spatial and spectral observations of the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of a B[e] supergiant (CPD−57◦ 2874), performed with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). Spectra, visibilities, and closure phase, were obtained using the beam-combiner instruments AMBER (near-IR interferometry with three 8.3 m Unit Telescopes or UTs) and MIDI (mid-IR interferometry with t...

Abstract. We present the first spectro-interferometric observations of the circumstellar envelope (CSE) of a B[e] supergiant (CPD−57◦ 2874), performed with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) using the beam-combiner instruments AMBER (near-IR interferometry with three 8.3 m Unit Telescopes or UTs) and MIDI (mid-IR interferometry with two UTs). Our observations of the CSE are well fit...

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...
متن کاملPost-outburst Observations of V1647 Orionis: Detection of a Brief Warm Molecular Outflow
We present new observations of the fundamental rovibrational 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 Letter, we present CO spectra acquir...
متن کاملPost - outburst radio observation of the region around McNeil ’ s nebula ( V 1647 Ori )
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...
