摘要
We have conducted a spectro-astrometric (SA) analysis of high spectral resolution data of the near-infrared He I lambda 10830 and Pa gamma lines in the nearby classical T Tauri star TW Hya. We find clear position offsets associated with the blueshifted absorption part of the He I lambda 10830 P Cygni profile. The derived spatial features extend up to 50 mas (2.8 AU at TW Hya distance) in two opposite directions. By using simple exploratorymodels we show that this feature cannot be produced by the same stellar wind that produces the P Cygni profile. Instead, we are able to reproduce the observed blueshifted SA profile with emission from a disk wind. The production of SA artifacts through instrumental effects was examined. Artifact models have difficulties in fitting both the PSF and the angular scale of the observed position spectra offsets, suggesting that the signal may be real.
