AGB变星和Mira周期-光度关系

AGB Variables and the Mira Period-Luminosity Relation

Patricia A. Whitelock, Michael W. Feast, Floor van Leeuwen

摘要:

本文重新分析了已发表的大麦云云大振幅渐近巨星分支变星的资料,建立了红外(K)周期光度关系的常数:Mk=rho[log P-2.38] + delta。发现富氧Miras的斜率为rho=-3.51+/-0.20,零点为delta=-7.15+/-0.06(如果LMC使用18.39+/-0.05的距离模量)。假设这个斜率是适用于银河系的Miras,我们讨论了这些恒星的零点使用修改后的依巴谷射电望远镜与公布的VLBI射电望远镜OH脉泽和Miras在球状星团。这导致富氧的银河系Miras的平均零点δ =-7.25+/-0.07。米拉星在银河隆起的零点与这个值没有明显的不同。富碳恒星也进行了讨论,并提供了与上述数字一致的结果,但具有更高的不确定性。在不确定性范围内,没有证据表明具有不同金属丰度的系统的周期-光度关系零点之间存在显着差异。

英文摘要:

Published data for large amplitude asymptotic giant branch variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud are re-analysed to establish the constants for an infrared (K) period-luminosity relation of the form: Mk=rho[log P-2.38] + delta. A slope of rho=-3.51+/-0.20 and a zero point of delta=-7.15+/-0.06 are found for oxygen-rich Miras (if a distance modulus of 18.39+/-0.05 is used for the LMC). Assuming this slope is applicable to Galactic Miras we discuss the zero-point for these stars using the revised Hipparcos parallaxes together with published VLBI parallaxes for OH Masers and Miras in Globular Clusters. These result in a mean zero-point of delta=-7.25+/-0.07 for O-rich Galactic Miras. The zero-point for Miras in the Galactic Bulge is not significantly different from this value. Carbon-rich stars are also discussed and provide results that are consistent with the above numbers, but with higher uncertainties. Within the uncertainties there is no evidence for a significant difference between the period-luminosity relation zero-points for systems with different metallicity.
