摘要:

本文给出了大麦哲伦云(LMC)和小麦哲伦云(SMC)中变星红巨星的周期光度(PL)关系。PL图绘制在三个平面中:logP-K_S、logP- W_{JK}和logP-W_I。14个PL序列是可区分的,并且其中一些由三个紧密间隔的脊组成。每个序列用线性或二次函数拟合。讨论了OGLE小振幅红巨星(OSARG)、Miras和半规则变星(SRVs)、长次级周期(LSPs)和椭球变星四种类型的红巨星光致发光关系的异同。提出了一种新的分离OSARG与非变星和SRVs的方法。该方法利用这些多周期变量在无红化PL图中的位置和特征周期比。LMC OSARG的PL关系进行了比较,沿等时线的相关年龄和金属丰度的RGB模型的计算关系。我们还比较了测量的周期和振幅的OSARG预测的基础上的关系有效的发光较少的类太阳辐射。Miras和SRVs在LMC和SMC中似乎遵循相同斜率的PL关系,而LSP和椭球变量在两个星系中的斜率不同。由LSP变量和二元系统定义的PL序列在整个分析波段范围内重叠。我们提出了新的论点,双星的情况下,作为一个解释的LSP的变化,并进一步阐述。我们发现,测量到的脉动与轨道周期的比值意味着恒星半径与轨道距离的比值几乎是恒定的,R/A=0.4。潮汐摩擦和低质量伴星增强的质量损失的综合效应可以解释为什么这样的值是优选的。

英文摘要:

Period-luminosity (PL) relations of variable red giants in the Large (LMC) and Small Magellanic Clouds (SMC) are presented. The PL diagrams are plotted in three planes: logP-K_S, logP-W_{JK}, and logP-W_I. Fourteen PL sequences are distinguishable, and some of them consist of three closely spaced ridges. Each of the sequences is fitted with a linear or quadratic function. The similarities and differences between the PL relations in both galaxies are discussed for four types of red giant variability: OGLE Small Amplitude Red Giants (OSARGs), Miras and Semiregular Variables (SRVs), Long Secondary Periods (LSPs) and ellipsoidal variables. We propose a new method of separating OSARGs from non-variable stars and SRVs. The method employs the position in the reddening-free PL diagrams and the characteristic period ratios of these multiperiodic variables. The PL relations for the LMC OSARG are compared with the calculated relations for RGB models along isochrones of relevant ages and metallicities. We also compare measured periods and amplitudes of the OSARGs with predictions based on the relations valid for less luminous solar-like pulsators. Miras and SRVs seem to follow PL relation of the same slopes in the LMC and SMC, while for LSP and ellipsoidal variables slopes in both galaxies are different. The PL sequences defined by LSP variables and binary systems overlap in the whole range of analyzed wavebands. We put forward new arguments for the binary star scenario as an explanation of the LSP variability and elaborate on it further. The measured pulsation to orbital period ratio implies nearly constant ratio of the star radius to orbital distance, R/A=0.4, as we find. Combined effect of tidal friction and mass loss enhanced by the low-mass companion may explain why such a value is preferred.
