Is the magnetospheric accretion active in the Herbig Ae/Be stars?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 August 2023
Abstract
This contribution is based on the work published by (Pinzón et al. 2021) in which we computed rotation rates for a sample of 79 young stars (∼3 Myr) in a wide range of stellar masses (from T Tauri Stars to Herbig Ae/Be stars) in in the Orion Star Formation Complex (OSFC). We study whether the magnetospheric accretion scenario (MA), valid for young low mass stars, may be applied over a wide range of stellar masses of not. Under the assumption that stellar winds powered by stellar accretion are the main source for the stellar spin down, the hypothesis of an extension of MA toward higher masses seems plausible. A comparison with Ap/Bp stars suggest that HAeBes should suffer a loss of angular momentum by a factor between 12 and 80 during the first 10 Myr in order to match the magnetic Ap/Bp zone in HR diagram.
