These evidences can be summarized as follows. 1. We made spectroscopic observations by using a CCD spectrograph with dispersi- ons 50 A / mm and 195 A / mm at the BAO 2.16m telescope. Analysis of the optical spectra of 3G71 indicates: a. Forbidden lines, such as [OI] 6300 and 6363 A, [FeII] 5527, 4889, 4814, 4415, 4359 and 4304 A, are present in the spectra (Fig.2a, Fig.2b). b. The Hα emission line is unusually strong. Its equivalent width is sometimes more than 100 A (Fig. 1). The photospheric absorption lines of hydrogen are very wide. In the case of Hβ, the distance between two wings amounts to 60 A (Fig.2a, Fig.3). 2. We have performed cross-identification between HST GSC catalogue and IRAS Point Source Catalogue and found the IRAS point souree counterpart of 3G71 to be 2248 + 6058. Its equatorial coordinates (at equinox 1950.0) are 22h24m53s.8 and +60°58′ 15″, while those given by the GSC catalogue are 22h24m53s.37 and +60°58′13″.1. The differences are merely 0.4s and 2″, being less than the uncertainty ellipse (major axis: 11″, minor axis: 6″) given in IRAS PSC. Table 1 lists the flux densities quoted from IRAS GSC and the deduced IRAS IR magnitudes. It is clear from the table that 3G71 has a very large IR color excess, since the V magnitude of 3G71 found from GSC is 12.2 and its V-[25]=+12.47, which is much larger than that expected for classical Be stars and satisfies the criterion for the Herbig Ae / Be stars given by Hu et al., i.e., V-[25] > 7. 3. Using Palomar sky survey map, we have made a search for a nebulosity in the immediate vicinity of 3G71 and actually discovered a bright nebula, at whose center 3G71 is just located. Its diameter is about 1 are-minute. It is concluded from the characteristics of 3G71 mentioned above that 3G71 may be a Herbig Ae / Be star.展开更多

In this paper we provide evidences that other broad emission lines of metals in the spectra of HD 200775 also exhibit variability, which is probably related to the orbital cycle of the binary. Analysis was performed based on the high-resolution spectral data collected over a time span of 6 years at the Kourovka Astronomical Observatory of the Ural Federal University(Russia) and the Three College Observatory of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro(USA) as well as archival spectral data compiled since 1994. We report new data points in the radial velocity curve of the He I 5876 ?A line near the extremal values of the radial velocity.展开更多

The stars from our study are located in the star-forming HII region IC 5070. These objects were previously detected as either emission line stars, flare stars, T Tauri variables or Herbig Ae/Be stars. Photometric observations, especially concerning the long-term behavior of the objects, are missing in the literature. We present the first photometric monitoring for all stars from our study. The analysis of the obtained BV RI photometric data allows us to draw the conclusion that all investigated objects are variable stars. In the case of LkHα 146,we identified previously unknown periodicity in its photometric variability.展开更多

This survey using CCD imaging with a narrow band [SII] filter and an intermediate band [BATC10] filter covered approximately 30 square degrees in Taurus. Besides confirming the known HH Objects in the region, we discovered seven new HH candidates, and groups. Six of these are HH 701A-B, HH 702A-D, HH 703, HH 704A-D, HH 705, HH 706 and the seventh is a group, a new component of HH 319, labeled HH 319B-D. Based on the large-scale distribution of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in Taurus, we analyze statistically the most probable distance from the HH objects to each PMS star, from which we estimate the typical timescale of these HH objects to be between (1.3?2.0)×10<SUP>4</SUP> yrs; and we also obtain the birth rates of HH objects: 0.447±0.198 for Class I PMS stars, 0.360±0.222 for Class II PMS stars, and ?0.148±0.234 for Class III PMS stars.展开更多

IRAS counterparts of HH objects are identified. Their colors, brightness, geometric relation to the RH objects and SED are analysed. The sources are found to be concentrated in a band-shaped region in the IRAS color-color diagram. We suggest an explanation of thick surrounding material for this distribution. We propose a new method for identifying the energy sources based on color arid brightness. This method is applied to more than 200 HR objects whose energy sources are still unknown. Finally, a group of very young stellar object candidates which have similar properties to the RH energy sources is picked out. Their large-scale distribution is discussed.展开更多

The jet system bears unique features for residing at the center of a giant HII region, andits energy source is visible with apparently very low extinction along the line of sight. Unlikemost other Herbig-Haro jets, this jet indicates a high-excitation origin, and its extended portionshows a seemingly intact structure, instead of normally a shocked working surface, which isattributed to photoablation.展开更多

Z CMa consists of a Herbig Be star and an FU Orionis object, and it shows irregular light variation in the quiescent phase and exploding brightening in the outburst phase. Medium-resolution spectra were obtained on 21 nights between 2015 and 2019 using the Nayuta telescope in Japan. We also used five high-resolution spectra, obtained between 2008 and 2011, with the Keck Telescope. During the outburst phase, the intensity of the He I absorption line increased with an increase in the luminosity of the system. Because the He I absorption line is a characteristic feature of an early-type star, we considered that the outbursts were caused by the Herbig Be star. The equivalent widths of the [O I] line decreased with an increase in the luminosity of the system. We claim steady mass loss at the rate of <img src="Edit_8c9ccc1e-fde4-4e49-bcde-5fae6e20252e.png" alt="" /> The intensities of the H<em>α</em> and Fe II emission lines did not change during the outbursts. However, the line intensities increased with an increase in the luminosity of the system in the quiescent phase. We consider that those lines are attributed to the FU Orionis object and the light variations in the quiescent phase were caused by the FU Orionis object.展开更多
