Profiles of Strong Permitted Lines in Classical T Tauri Stars

We present a spectral analysis of 30 T Tauri stars observed with the Hamilton echelle spectrograph over more than a decade. One goal is to test magnetospheric accretion model predictions. Observational evidence previously published supporting the model, such as emission line asymmetry and a high frequency of redshifted absorption components, are considered. We also discuss the relation between different line forming regions and search for good accretion rate indicators. In this work we confirm several important points of the models, such as the correlation between accretion and outflow, broad emission components that are mostly central or slightly blueshifted and only the occasional presence of redshifted absorption. We also show, however, that the broad emission components supposedly formed in the magnetospheric accretion flow only partially support the models. Unlike the predictions, they are sometimes redshifted, and are mostly found to be symmetric. The published theoretical profiles do not have a strong resemblance to our observed ones. We emphasize the need for accretion models to include a strong turbulent component before their profiles will match the observations. The effects of rotation, and the outflow components, will also be needed to complete the picture.Comment: 25 pages including 9 figures, 3 tables, accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journa

Temporalidades na vida e na autoformação de uma professora-pesquisadora

Delineamos como objetivo deste estudo apreender as temporalidades na vidae na formação na itinerância aprendente de uma professora-pesquisadoracomo dimensão autoformadora pela narrativa de si. O aporte teórico estáfundamentado nas formulações de autores como Pineau (1983, 1987,2004, 2005, 2006, 2012), Josso (2004) e Souza (2006). Constituímos umainvestigação descritiva, matizada pela abordagem (auto)biográfica, comestreitamento para uma pesquisa-formação. A narrativa de si, por umaprofessora-pesquisadora, tomada como corpus hermenêutico crítico, resultade um movimento heurístico e reflexivo em uma comunidade de pesquisa. Emuma ecologia cognitiva constituinte e constituída no exercício autopoiético,pelo investimento (auto)biográfico em que apreendemos a narrativa de sino processo de reflexividade crítica, reconhecemos uma estrutura complexadas dinâmicas nas temporalidades da vida e da formação, em movimentode intercompreensão de fluxos e de circulações de conhecimentos esaberes. Esse desvelamento de uma pesquisa-formação em processosauto-organizáveis, coletivos e partilhados, levaram-nos a uma ação pesquisanteem empreendimento dos sentidos e dos significados, para além das amarrasacademicistas, encontrando o tempo para a nossa autoformação, que noscoloca em um paradigma antropoformador na constituição identitária docente

Structures of Time: Expressions of Subjectivity and Social Politics in works by Silvia Gruner, 1986–2014

The works of Silvia Gruner (born 1959) illustrate the use of time registers as strategies to express contemporary subjectivity’s experiences with globalized environments between 1986-2014. Through this approach, the artist connects her production to the social politics of Mexico to critique the effects of globalization on Mexican society and culture

Mapping accretion and its variability in the young open cluster NGC 2264: a study based on u-band photometry

We aim at characterizing the accretion properties of several hundred members of the star-forming cluster NGC 2264 (3 Myr). We performed a deep u,g,r,i mapping and a simultaneous u+r monitoring of the region with CFHT/MegaCam in order to directly probe the accretion process from UV excess measurements. Photometric properties and stellar parameters are determined homogeneously for about 750 monitored young objects, spanning the mass range 0.1-2 Mo. About 40% are classical (accreting) T Tauri stars, based on various diagnostics (H_alpha, UV and IR excesses). The remaining non-accreting members define the (photospheric+chromospheric) reference UV emission level over which flux excess is detected and measured. We revise the membership status of cluster members based on UV accretion signatures and report a new population of 50 CTTS candidates. A large range of UV excess is measured for the CTTS population, varying from a few 0.1 to 3 mag. We convert these values to accretion luminosities and obtain mass accretion rates ranging from 1e-10 to 1e-7 Mo/yr. Taking into account a mass-dependent detection threshold for weakly accreting objects, we find a >6sigma correlation between mass accretion rate and stellar mass. A power-law fit, properly accounting for upper limits, yields M_acc $\propto$ M^{1.4+/-0.3}. At any given stellar mass, we find a large spread of accretion rates, extending over about 2 orders of magnitude. The monitoring of the UV excess on a timescale of a couple of weeks indicates that its variability typically amounts to 0.5 dex, much smaller than the observed spread. We suggest that a non-negligible age spread across the cluster may effectively contribute to the observed spread in accretion rates at a given mass. In addition, different accretion mechanisms (like, e.g., short-lived accretion bursts vs. more stable funnel-flow accretion) may be associated to different M_acc regimes.Comment: 24 pages, 21 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysic
