天文地震学的现状

The Current Status of Asteroseismology

C. Aerts, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard, M. Cunha, D. W. Kurtz

摘要:

恒星演化是现代天体物理学的基础,恒星内部的物理过程是恒星演化的驱动力。虽然我们对这些过程有一般性的了解,但我们缺乏一些重要的成分。在模型的输入物理中看似很小的不确定性,例如,不透明度或混合和内部旋转的数量,对恒星的演化有很大的影响。星震学的目标是通过恒星的振荡来改善对恒星内部物理的描述,正如全球日震学使我们对太阳内部结构的认识向前迈出了一大步。在本文中,我们提出了目前的状态,通过考虑的情况下,研究具有各种质量和演化阶段的恒星的星震学。特别是,我们概述了观测到的振荡频率和模型预测的振荡频率之间的对抗如何使我们能够确定当前模型的输入物理学的局限性,并将其提高到任何其他当前方法都无法达到的水平。

英文摘要:

Stellar evolution, a fundamental bedrock of modern astrophysics, is driven by the physical processes in stellar interiors. While we understand these processes in general terms, we lack some important ingredients. Seemingly small uncertainties in the input physics of the models, e.g., the opacities or the amount of mixing and of interior rotation, have large consequences for the evolution of stars. The goal of asteroseismology is to improve the description of the interior physics of stars by means of their oscillations, just as global helioseismology led to a huge step forward in our knowledge about the internal structure of the Sun. In this paper we present the current status of asteroseismology by considering case studies of stars with a variety of masses and evolutionary stages. In particular, we outline how the confrontation between the observed oscillation frequencies and those predicted by the models allows us to pinpoint limitations of the input physics of current models and improve them to a level that cannot be reached with any other current method.
