前白矮星PG 1159-035脉动周期的时间变化

The temporal changes of the pulsational periods of the pre-white dwarf PG 1159-035

摘要:

PG 1159-035是一颗T=140000 K的前白矮星,是PG 1159光谱类和DOV脉动类的原型。恒星的变化导致其振荡周期的变化。通过测量振荡周期的时间变化dP/dt,我们可以直接估算恒星演化的变化率,如冷却率和包层收缩率,为检验和完善前白矮星脉动星的演化模型提供了一种途径。我们测量了27个脉动模式的周期变化。这些周期的变化率在1到100毫秒/年之间,有几个可以直接测量,相对标准不确定度低于10%。特别是对于516.0 s模式(振幅最高),不仅可以直接测量dP/dt值,相对标准不确定度为2%,而且还可以可靠地计算二阶周期变化d(dP/dt)/dt。通过使用(O-C)方法,我们改进了dP/dt,并估计了其他六个脉动周期的d(dP/dt)/dt。作为第一个应用,我们计算了PG 1559-035自转周期的变化,dP_rot/dt = -2.13 10 ^{-6} s/s,包层收缩速率dR/dt = -2.2 10 ^{-13}太阳半径/s,冷却速率dT/dt = -1.42 10 ^{-3} K/s。

英文摘要:

PG 1159-035, a pre-white dwarf with T=140000 K, is the prototype of the PG1159 spectroscopic class and the DOV pulsating class. Changes in the star cause variations in its oscillation periods. The measurement of temporal change in the oscillation periods, dP/dt, allows us to estimate directly rates of stellar evolutionary changes, such as the cooling rate and the envelope contraction rate, providing a way to test and refine evolutionary models for pre-white dwarf pulsating stars. We measured 27 pulsation modes period changes. The periods varied at rates of between 1 and 100 ms/yr, and several can be directly measured with a relative standard uncertainty below 10%. For the 516.0 s mode (the highest in amplitude) in particular, not only the value of dP/dt can be measured directly with a relative standard uncertainty of 2%, but the second order period change, d(dP/dt)/dt, can also be calculated reliably. By using the (O-C) method we refined the dP/dt and estimated the d(dP/dt)/dt for six other pulsation periods. As a first application, we calculated the change in the PG 1559-035 rotation period, dP_rot/dt = -2.13*10^{-6} s/s, the envelope contraction rate dR/dt = -2.2*10^{-13} solar radius/s, and the cooling rante dT/dt = -1.42*10^{-3} K/s.
