The outburst of the T Tauri star EX Lupi in 1994

چکیده
We have observed an outburst of the T Tauri star EX Lup in March 1994. We present both photometric (BVR) and spectroscopic (low and medium resolution) observations carried out during the decline after outburst. The star appears much bluer during outburst due to an increased emission of a hot continuum. This is accompanied by a strong increase of the veiling of photospheric lines. We observe inverse P Cygni profiles of many emission lines over a large brightness range of EX Lup. We briefly discuss these features towards the model of magnetospherically supported accretion of disk material.

Hubble Space Telescope Imaging of the Schwartz
Schwartz 82 (IM Lupi; HBC 605; IRAS 15528-3747) is an M0 T Tauri star located within the Lupus star forming clouds at a distance of ∼190 pc (Wichmann et al. 1998). It is one of four young stellar objects in a small CO(1-0) core near the extreme T Tauri star RU Lupi (Tachihara et al. 1996). Unlike its more famous neighbor, Sz 82 displays only a modest amount of emission-line activity, with an Hα...
متن کاملEX Lupi in quiescence
Aims. EX Lup is the prototype of EXors, a subclass of low-mass pre-main sequence stars whose episodic eruptions are attributed to temporarily increased accretion. In quiescence the optical and near-infrared properties of EX Lup cannot be distinguished from those of normal T Tau stars. Here we investigate whether it is the circumstellar disk structure which makes EX Lup an atypical Class II obje...
متن کاملThe infrared properties of the new outburst star IRAS 05436−0007 in quiescent phase
We compiled and investigated the infrared/sub-mm/mm SED of the new outburst star IRAS 05436−0007 in quiescent phase. The star is a flat-spectrum source, with an estimated total luminosity of Lbol ≈ 5.6L⊙, typical of low-mass T Tauri stars. The derived circumstellar mass of 0.5M⊙ is rather high among low-mass YSOs. The observed SED differs from the SEDs of typical T Tauri stars and of 4 well-kno...
متن کاملObservations of T-Tauri Stars using HST-GHRS: II. Optical and Near UV lines
We have analyzed GHRS data of eight Classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) and one Weak T Tauri star (WTTS). The GHRS data consist of an spectral range 40 Å wide centered on 2800 Å. For 4 of the CTTS we have nearly simultaneous optical observations which contain Hα, Hβ, He I, NaD, and the Ca II infrared triplet. The Mg II resonance doublet is the strongest feature in the 2800 Å range. This line has a ...
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...
