چکیده

We observed a 17×17 region of the ρ Oph molecular cloud, using the ACIS-I array onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). A 100-ks exposure observation revealed ∼ hundred X-ray sources above the detection limit of ∼ 10 ergs s. About 2/3 of the X-ray sources are identified to an optical and/or infrared counterpart, including significant numbers of class I, II and III sources and a few brown dwarfs. The X-ray detection rate of class I sources is surprisingly high of 70 %. Many X-ray flares, possibly due to the magnetic activity, are found from all of the classes. We make systematic spectral studies on the quiescent and flare X-rays for all the X-ray sources. The X-ray temperatures and absorptions of class I sources are generally larger than those of class II and III sources. Also X-ray flares from class I sources show a hint of higher duty ratio, temperature and luminosity, than those from more evolved classes. We further give brief results on brown dwarfs, younger phase than class I, unclassified and unidentified sources. Details for several selected young stellar objects, including the first detection of a neutral iron line (6.4 keV) from a class I source YLW 16A, are separately addressed. 1CREST, Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST), 4-1-8 Honmachi, Kawaguchi, Saitama, 332-0012, Japan

At low densities, when radiation of an accreting gas is dynamically unimportant, quasi-spherical non-radiative accretion flow is formed around a compact object. We show that the density of the flow is n ∝ r −1/2. The gas compression is much weaker than the standard Bondi's, n ∝ r −3/2 , because most of the gas does not reach the compact object. It can either circulate indefinitely long or it ca...
