چکیده
We present 5-35 µm spectra, taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope, of five FU Orionis objects: FU Ori, V1515 Cyg, V1057 Cyg, BBW 76, and V346 Nor. All but V346 Nor reveal amorphous silicate grains in emission at 10 µm and 20 µm, and show water-vapor absorption bands at 5.8 and 6.8 µm and SiO or possibly methane absorption at 8 µm. These absorption features closely match these bands in model stellar photospheres — signs of the gaseous photospheres of the inner regions of these objects' accretion disks. The continuum emission at 5-8 µm is also consistent with such disks, and, for FU Orionis and BBW 76, longer-wavelength emission may be fit by a model which includes moderate disk flaring. V1057 Cyg and V1515 Cyg have much more emission at longer wavelengths than the others, perhaps evidence of substantial remnant of their natal, infalling envelopes.

We have obtained spectra of the reflection nebulosity illuminated by two heavily embedded IRAS sources in the L1641 molecular cloud, Re 50 and IC 430 (V883 Ori). Examination of these spectra in combination with their other properties indicates that these objects are FU Orionis objects. Our spectrum of L1551 IRS 5 confirms the FU Ori classification made for this star by Mundt et al. (1985). Subj...

We present the first mid-infrared interferometric measurements of FU Orio-nis. We clearly resolve structures that are best explained with an optically thick accretion disk. A simple accretion disk model fits the observed SED and visibili-ties reasonably well and does not require the presence of any additional structure such as a dusty envelope. The inclination and also the position angle of the...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We have studied five seasons of OGLE-III data for eight SMC Be/X-ray pulsars for which no other survey data were available. We have determined orbital periods for four of these binary systems, one of which also shows nonradial pulsations. Optical identification of SMC X-2 is reconsidered, but no periods were found for either of the two possible candidates.
