Abstract

We use far-ultraviolet spectra of 36 T Tauri stars, predominately from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ULLYSES program, to examine the kinematic properties of fluorescent H-2 emission lines for evidence of disk outflows. Leveraging improvements to the HST Cosmic Origins Spectrograph wavelength solution, we coadd isolated lines within four fluorescent progressions ([v',J'] = [1,4], [1,7], [0,2], and [3,16]) to improve signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), and we fit each coadded line profile with one or two Gaussian components. Of the high-S/N line profiles (S/N >= 12 at the peak of the profile), over half are best fit with a combination of a broad and a narrow Gaussian component. For profiles of the [1,4] and [1,7] progressions, we find a systematic blueshift of a few kilometers per second between the broad and narrow centroid velocities and stellar radial velocities. For the [0,2] progression, we find centroid velocities consistently blueshifted with respect to stellar radial velocities on the order of -5 km s(-1) for the single and narrow components, and -10 km s(-1) for the broad components. Overall, the blueshifts observed in our sample suggest that the molecular gas traces an outflow from a disk wind in some sources, and not solely disk gas in Keplerian rotation. The low-velocity systematic blueshifts, as well as emitting radii as inferred from line FWHMs, observed in our sample are similar to those observed with optical [O i] surveys of T Tauri stars. We estimate H-2 mass-loss rates of 10(-9) to 10(-11) M-circle dot yr(-1), but incomplete knowledge of wind parameters limits comparisons to global models.
