基于无线电数据确定AGB质量损失率的方法

Methods for determining AGB mass loss rates based on radio data

F. L. Schoeier

摘要:

在无线电制度的质量损失率的AGB星最好探测分子(和原子)线发射所产生的CSE形成的恒星风。星周辐射的物理和化学过程之间发生复杂的相互作用的数值模拟是一个挑战。推导出的质量损失率在很大程度上取决于拱星模型中的假设,如果有足够的观测数据,其中一些假设可以受到约束。因此,一个可靠的质量损失率的测定,为个别恒星需要,除了详细的辐射转移分析,良好的观测约束的形式,多线观测和径向亮度分布。在用来估计银河系AGB星质量损失率的方法中,基于CO谱线发射的辐射转移模型的方法是最常用的,也可能是最准确的。通常情况下,CO多过渡观测可以限制质量损失率优于50%,在所采用的拱星模型。与补充方法比较,例如根据尘埃辐射转移模型和动力学模型进行的估计,在三个因素之内是一致的。

英文摘要:

In the radio regime the mass-loss rate of AGB stars is best probed using molecular (and atomic) line emission arising in the CSE formed by the stellar wind. The numerical modelling of the circumstellar emission where intricate interplays between physical and chemical processes take place, is a challenge. The derived mass-loss rates depend crucially on the assumptions in the circumstellar model, of which some can be constrained if enough observational data exist. Therefore, a reliable mass-loss-rate determination for an individual star requires, in addition to a detailed radiative transfer analysis, good observational constraints in the form of multi-line observations and radial brightness distributions. Of the methods used to estimate mass-loss rates from galactic AGB stars those based on radiative transfer modelling of CO line emission are most commonly used and possibly also the most accurate. Typically, CO multi-transitional observations can constrain the mass-loss rate to better than 50%, within the adopted circumstellar model. Comparison with complementary methods, such as estimates based on dust radiative transfer modelling coupled with a dynamical model, are consistent within a factor of three.
