造父变星的质量损失和脉动--演化质量离散

Cepheid Mass-loss and the Pulsation -- Evolutionary Mass Discrepancy

Stefan C. Keller

摘要:

我调查造父变星的演化和脉动质量之间的差异。最近的一些工作提出,非正则质量损失可以解释质量差异。这种质量损失是这样的,一颗5 Mo的恒星在到达造父变星不稳定带时损失了大约20%的质量;一颗14 Mo的恒星,没有。这些发现将对我们对质量损失的理解构成严重挑战。我根据帕多瓦恒星演化模型重新审视了这些结果,发现在5<M/Mo<14之间,造父变星的演化质量比脉动质量大($17\pm5$)%。我发现造父变星主序星的轻微内部混合能够解释这种质量差异。

英文摘要:

I investigate the discrepancy between the evolution and pulsation masses for Cepheid variables. A number of recent works have proposed that non-canonical mass-loss can account for the mass discrepancy. This mass-loss would be such that a 5Mo star loses approximately 20% of its mass by arriving at the Cepheid instability strip; a 14Mo star, none. Such findings would pose a serious challenge to our understanding of mass-loss. I revisit these results in light of the Padova stellar evolutionary models and find evolutionary masses are ($17\pm5$)% greater than pulsation masses for Cepheids between 5<M/Mo<14. I find that mild internal mixing in the main-sequence progenitor of the Cepheid are able to account for this mass discrepancy.
