The emission distribution in RR Pictoris
نویسنده
چکیده
We present time–resolved optical spectroscopy of the old nova RRPic. Two emission lines (Hα and He I) are present in the observed part of the spectrum and both show strong variability. Hα has been used for Doppler tomography in order to map the emission distribution in this system for the first time. The resulting map shows the emission from the disc as well as two additional emission sources on the leading and trailing side of the disc. Furthermore we find evidence for the presence of either a disc– overflow or an asymmetric outflow from the binary with velocities up to ±1200km s. The origin of the outflow would be the emission source on the leading side of the accretion disc.

Dynamical modeling of large scale asymmetries in the β Pictoris dust disk
We report a new and complete model of the β Pictoris disk, which succeeds in accounting for both the surface brightness distribution, warp characteristics, the outer “butterfly” asymmetry as observed by HST/STIS in scattered light, as well as the infrared emission. Our model includes the presence of a disk of planetesimals extending out to 120–150 AU, perturbed gravitationally by a giant planet...
متن کاملThe Dust and Gas around Pictoris
We have obtained Spitzer IRS 5.5Y35 m spectroscopy of the debris disk around Pictoris. In addition to the 10 m silicate emission feature originally observed from the ground, we also detect the crystalline silicate emission bands at 28 and 33.5 m. This is the first time that the silicate bands at wavelengths longer than 10 mhave ever been seen in the Pictoris disk. The observed dust emission is ...
متن کاملPossible spectral lines from the gaseous β Pictoris disk
We present the results of exploratory HST observations to detect the emission lines of ions in the β Pictoris disk with the spectrograph slit placed off the star. Possible emission lines from Fe ii have been detected at ∼ 10 −14 erg cm −2 s −1 at 0.5 ′′ from β Pictoris, which would suggest a total Fe ii density of > ∼ 2 · 10 −2 cm −3 at 10 AU. This detection needs confirmation. If real, it requ...

Dust distribution in disks supplied by small bodies: Is the β Pictoris disk a gigantic multi-cometary tail? Abstract. We have evaluated the spatial distribution of dust in disks supplied by colliding or evaporating bodies spread in a small belt. The gradient of the distribution of dust expelled by radiation pressure is generally steeper than the one observed around β Pictoris. It follows that, ...
