Mechanisms for eclipsing in exotic eclipsing systems

Abstract: The stars ε Aur, KH 15D, and H 187 are utterly different in their fundamental characteristics. However, they share two important features: (1) prolonged eclipses are observed in all three and (2) there are no spectroscopic signs of a second component. The light curves of these objects are substantially similar, which may indicate a uniform mechanism for the eclipses. This article analyzes models for eclipsing in these objects proposed by different authors and discusses the problems associated with their appli… Show more

“…These authors hypothesized that an optically thick dust cloud obscured most of the star during the minimum while at the same time covering up much of the lineemitting region, causing the change in profile shapes. Grinin & Tambovtseva (1995) calculated H profiles in rough agreement with the observations using a model of the circumstellar obscuration and assuming gas in the inner disk with a velocity distribution similar to our magnetospheric accretion models.…”

“…The blueshifted absorption in the Hα and Na D line profiles is supposed to be an indicator of the wind flows. It should be mentioned, that an alternative interpretation of the Hα line profiles was proposed by Grinin and Tambovtseva (1995) when studying the variability of emission line profiles in Herbig Ae/Be stars: if a dust cloud obscuring successively different parts of the emission region from the observer moves around the star, then characteristic changes must be observed in the Hα line profile. However, the views of the causes of spectroscopic and photometric variability of T Tauri stars have changed noticeably over the elapsed 20 years.…”

“…Then, Δθ≪θ. With the help of from the paper by Grinin & Tambovtseva (2006), one can obtain the optical depth of the cone ‘wall’ along the radius r ′ 1 r ′ 2 , which at the small γ can be replaced by the radius r 1 r 2 and is parallel to the disc plane and intersects the disc axis at the distance h from the point O′ (Fig. 3).…”
