通过星震学测量恒星性质:行星凌日研究的工具

Measurements of Stellar Properties through Asteroseismology: A Tool for Planet Transit Studies

Hans Kjeldsen, Timothy R. Bedding, Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard

摘要:

振荡发生在大多数质量的恒星中,基本上在所有的演化阶段。天文地震学是研究恒星振荡的频率和其他性质,从中我们可以提取基本参数,如密度,质量,半径,年龄和旋转周期。我们提出了一个概述的asteroseisic分析方法,专注于如何使用这种技术可以作为一种工具来测量恒星的性能相关的行星过境研究。我们还讨论了开普勒天文地震调查的细节-使用天文地震学的开普勒任务,以测量基本的恒星参数。我们估计,将星震学应用于开普勒观测到的恒星,将允许确定恒星平均密度的精度为1%,半径为2- 3%,质量为5%,年龄为主序星寿命的5-10%。对于旋转的恒星,倾角也可以确定。

英文摘要:

Oscillations occur in stars of most masses and essentially all stages of evolution. Asteroseismology is the study of the frequencies and other properties of stellar oscillations, from which we can extract fundamental parameters such as density, mass, radius, age and rotation period. We present an overview of asteroseismic analysis methods, focusing on how this technique may be used as a tool to measure stellar properties relevant to planet transit studies. We also discuss details of the Kepler Asteroseismic Investigation -- the use of asteroseismology on the Kepler mission in order to measure basic stellar parameters. We estimate that applying asteroseismology to stars observed by Kepler will allow the determination of stellar mean densities to an accuracy of 1%, radii to 2-3%, masses to 5%, and ages to 5-10% of the main-sequence lifetime. For rotating stars, the angle of inclination can also be determined.
