The Circumstellar Environment of the TTS SU Aurigae

چکیده
In this contribution we investigate how a disk determines the physical and geometrical properties of the circumstellar environment of the T Tauri SU Aurigae. Our model of the spectral energy distribution of this star includes the central young star, a flat black disk and a diffuse envelope. We also describe the inner interaction region between the disk and the star, the magnetosphere, by analysing the accretion and wind signatures in several spectral lines observed during the MUSICOS 96 campaign.

Unveiling Su Aurigae in the near Infrared: New high spatial resolution results using Adaptive Optics
We present here new results on circumstellar nebulosity around SU Aurigae, a T-Tauri star of about 2 solar mass and 5 Myrs old at 152 pc in the J, H and K bands using high resolution adaptive optics imaging (0. 30) with the Penn state IR Imaging Spectrograph (PIRIS) at the 100 inch Mt. Wilson telescope. A comparison with HST STIS optical (0.2 to 1.1 micron) images shows that the orientation of ...
متن کاملMagnetospheric accretion and winds on the T Tauri star SU Aurigae Multi-spectral line variability and cross-correlation analysis
SU Aurigae is a T Tauri star that was well monitored during the MUSICOS 96 multi-site campaign. We present the results of the spectroscopic analysis of the circumstellar environment of this star, particularly of the Hα, Hβ, Na i D and He i D3 line profiles. The signatures of modulated outflows and mass accretion events are analysed, as well as transient spectral features. We compute the cross-c...

SU Aurigae is a classical T Tauri star of spectral type G2. This star was one of the scientific targets of the MUSICOS 96 multi-site campaign that provided a wealth of high resolution cross-dispersed spectral data, with a good continuous time coverage (Unruh et al. 1998a). We present the results of the analysis of the complex circumstellar environment of this star, with particular regard to mag...
متن کاملSub–astronomical Unit Structure of the Near-infrared Emission from Ab Aurigae
We present near-infrared, long-baseline, interferometric observations of AB Aurigae, a well-known Herbig Ae/ Be star, obtained with the Infrared Optical Telescope Array. The near-infrared emission from this source has been spatially resolved for the first time, and the observations indicate a characteristic diameter of 5 mas for the emission, corresponding to 0.7 AU at the distance of AB Aur. T...
متن کاملBright Localized Near-infrared Emission at 1–4 Au in the Ab Aurigae Disk Revealed by Iota Closure Phases
We report on the detection of localized off-center emission at 1–4 AU in the circumstellar environment of the young stellar object AB Aurigae. We used closure-phase measurements in the near-infrared that were made at the long-baseline interferometer IOTA, the first obtained on a young stellar object using this technique. When probing sub-AU scales, all closure phases are close to zero degrees, ...
