Typical conditions for star and planet formation are in regions with intermediate or strong UV radiation fields produced by massive stars. The $\\sigma$-Orionis cluster is the ideal site to study disk winds under these conditions; its outer parts can be used to study disk evolution, while its innermost regions to study the effect of external irradiation. For this, we analyze the $\\rm [OI]\\,\\lambda$6300, $\\rm [NII]\\,\\lambda$6583, and $\\rm [SII]\\,\\lambda$6731,$\\lambda$6716 lines using high-resolution MIKE spectra of 27 classical T Tauri stars and complemented by intermediate-resolution X-shooter data. We decompose the line profiles into multiple Gaussian components. We calculated luminosities, line ratios, and kinematic properties of these components. We found that the $\\rm [OI]\\,\\lambda$6300 line luminosity and kinematic properties are similar to those found in low-mass star-forming regions (SFRs). The frequency of single-component $\\rm [OI]\\,\\lambda$6300 line profiles reflects the expected evolutionary stage given the intermediate age of $\\sigma$-Orionis. This points to internal processes contributing to the line emission. However, the highly irradiated disks do not follow the accretion - [OI] luminosity relation found in low-mass SFRs, and all exhibit single-component line profiles. Line ratios of highly ionized species of [NII] and [SII] show higher ratios than typical values found in low-mass SFRs. The innermost regions of $\\sigma$-Orionis are clearly affected by external irradiation, evidenced by the lack of correlation in the accretion - [OI] luminosity relation. The broad line widths of close-in sources, however, indicate a contribution from internal processes, such as magnetohydrodynamical winds and/or internal photoevaporation. This suggests a coevolution of internal and external winds in $\\sigma$-Orionis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-29T14:40:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disk winds", "orionis cluster", "external photoevaporation", "line profiles", "kinematic properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
