摘要:

快速振荡的Ap(roAp)星10 Aql显示出最低的光度脉动幅度之一,其特征是与其他roAp星相比具有不寻常的光谱脉动行为。在21天的时间跨度内,在7个晚上使用8米ESO VLT和3.6米TNG望远镜的高分辨率摄谱仪拍摄了1000多个光谱,可以获得来自不同化学物质的约150条线的径向速度变化。在不同的大气高度形成的线的脉动签名的比较,使我们能够解决在10 Aql的个人脉动模式的垂直结构,这是第一次为多周期roAp星。10 Aql中脉动波的推断传播在性质上与其他roAp星相似:脉动幅度在Y和Eu集中的层中变得可测量,在Halpha核心形成的层中增加,在Ce,Sm,Dy线探测的层中达到200-300 m/s的最大值,然后在NdIII和PrIII线形成的层中降低到20-50 m/s。10 Aql的一个独特的脉动特征是由TbIII线表示的第二个脉动最大值,该线形成于最上层大气层中,并以高达350 m/s的振幅振荡。强烈的PrIII和NdIII线探测到的大气层中脉动的急剧下降解释了10 Aql与其他roAp星相比的明显特点。Nd III 5102 A线的相位-振幅图和平分线测量揭示了所有三种主要脉动模式的相位和振幅随高度的快速变化,表明恒星大气中存在脉动节点。(节略)

英文摘要:

The rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star 10 Aql shows one of the lowest photometric pulsation amplitudes and is characterized by an unusual spectroscopic pulsational behavior compared to other roAp stars. More than 1000 spectra were taken during 7 nights over a time span of 21 days with high-resolution spectrographs at the 8-m ESO VLT and 3.6-m TNG telescopes giving access to radial velocity variations of about 150 lines from different chemical species. A comparison of pulsation signatures in lines formed at different atmospheric heights allowed us to resolve the vertical structure of individual pulsation modes in 10 Aql which is the first time for a multiperiodic roAp star. The inferred propagation of pulsation waves in 10 Aql is qualitatively similar to other roAp stars: pulsation amplitudes become measurable in the layers where Y and Eu are concentrated, increase in layers where the Halpha core is formed, reach a maximum of 200-300 m/s in the layers probed by Ce, Sm, Dy lines and then decrease to 20-50 m/s in the layers where NdIII and PrIII lines are formed. A unique pulsation feature of 10 Aql is a second pulsation maximum indicated by TbIII lines which form in the uppermost atmospheric layers and oscillate with amplitudes of up to 350 m/s. The dramatic decline of pulsations in the atmospheric layers probed by the strong PrIII and NdIII lines accounts for the apparent peculiarity of 10 Aql when compared to other roAp stars. The phase-amplitude diagrams and bisector measurements of the NdIII 5102 A line reveal a rapid change of phase and amplitude with height for all three main pulsation modes, indicating the presence of a pulsation node in the stellar atmosphere.
