BVRI light curves of Gaia 18dvy

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present optical-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of Gaia 18dvy, located in the Cygnus OB3 association at a distance of 1.88kpc.

Description

Gaia 18dvy was noted by the Gaia alerts system when its light curve exhibited a ~4mag rise in 2018-2019. The brightening was also observable at mid-infared wavelengths.

The infrared colors of Gaia 18dvy became bluer as the outburst progressed. Its optical and near-infrared spectroscopic characteristics in the outburst phase are consistent with those of bona fide FU Orionis-type young eruptive stars. The progenitor of the outburst is probably a low-mass K-type star with an optical extinction of ~3mag.

A radiative transfer modeling of the circumstellar structure, based on the quiescent spectral energy distribution, indicates a disk with a mass of 4x10^-3^M_{sun}_. Our simple accretion disk modeling implies that the accretion rate had been exponentially increasing for more than 3yr until mid-2019, when it reached a peak value of 6.9x10^-6^M_{sun}_/yr. In many respects, Gaia 18dvy is similar to the FU Ori-type object HBC722.
