摘要:

星震学为研究恒星内部提供了一种独特的工具。最近,由于高精度的径向速度测量,在明亮的类太阳恒星α-Cen A上探测到了p模式。然而,显然需要更好地表征这些p模式来约束理论模型。我们观察了α Cen A在五个晚上使用HARPS摄谱仪,以提高我们的知识,这颗星的地震特性。我们进行了高精度的径向速度序列,并计算了α Cen A的声谱。我们确定了34个p模式的角度l=0-3的频率范围1.8-2.9兆赫和振幅范围13-48厘米/秒,与以前的地震研究。我们发现的频率散射的增强与角度l,这表明,考虑到高倾斜轴的α Cen A,旋转分裂和解释先前建议的模式寿命的低值。我们还得到新的值的小分离,考虑到旋转分裂的效果。我们对α Cen A的地震研究导致了一系列现在已经很好识别的p模式频率,并显示了考虑旋转的重要性,以便即使在很短的运动中也能正确识别p模式。

英文摘要:

Asteroseismology provides a unique tool for studying stellar interiors. Recently p modes have been detected on the bright solar-like star alpha Cen A thanks to high-precision radial-velocity measurements. However a better characterisation of these p modes is clearly needed to constrain theoretical models. We observed alpha Cen A during five nights using the HARPS spectrograph in order to improve our knowledge of the seismic properties of this star. We performed high-precision radial-velocity sequences and computed the acoustic spectrum of alpha Cen A. We identify 34 p modes with angular degree l=0-3 in the frequency range 1.8-2.9 mHz and amplitude range 13-48 cm/s, in agreement with previous seismic studies. We find an enhancement of the frequency scatter with the angular degree l that indicates, considering the high inclination axis of alpha Cen A, rotational splitting and explains the low values of previously suggested mode lifetimes. We also derive new values for the small separations that take the effect of rotational splitting into account . Our seismic study of alpha Cen A leads to a list of now well identified p-mode frequencies and shows the importance of taking the rotation into account in order to properly characterise the p modes even in quite short campaigns.
