Accretion dynamics of EX Lupi in quiescence

Abstract: Context. EX Lupi is a young, accreting M0 star and the prototype of EXor variable stars. Its spectrum is very rich in emission lines, including many metallic lines with narrow and broad components. The presence of a close companion has also been proposed, based on radial velocity signatures. Aims. We use the metallic emission lines to study the accretion structures and to test the companion hypothesis. Methods. We analyse 54 spectra obtained during five years of quiescence time. We study the line profile varia… Show more

“…OurṀ acc determination of 3.6×10 −8 M /yr is much higher than the one estimated by Sicilia-Aguilar et al (2015): these authors used the same X-Shooter data as us, but they analysed the reduced 1-D spectra gathered from the ESO Phase-3 data release and to our knowledge did not correct for slit losses, despite the narrow slits used during the observations. Two main reasons may explain the large discrepancy.…”

“…The spectrum shows narrower emission lines in comparison with other spectra of the same object acquired during burst (e.g. Sicilia-Aguilar et al 2015). Thus, it is most likely that the object was not in burst during the X-Shooter observation.…”

“…Moreover, despite the lower significance level, the same radial velocity also emerges from the TW Hya (2) observation, indicating that the geometry of these low-latitude accretion spots could likely have remained stable over a timescale of a few years. Evidence of long-term stability of the accretion configuration was observed in a few other cases (e.g., Hamaguchi et al 2012;Sicilia-Aguilar et al 2015), although accretion more often appears as a highly variable phenomenon (e.g., Sousa et al 2016;Rigon et al 2017).…”
