麦哲伦云B星的旋转混合:理论与观测

Rotational Mixing in Magellanic Clouds B Stars - Theory versus Observation

I. Brott, I. Hunter, A. de Koter, N. Langer, D. Lennon, P. Dufton

摘要:

我们已经使用VLT FLAMES数据来约束恒星演化模型中旋转混合的不确定物理。我们模拟了一个单星群体,发现了两组无法解释的观测恒星:(1)一组没有旋转混合证据的快速旋转恒星和(2)一组具有强N富集的慢旋转恒星。可以考虑用双效应和古磁场来解释这两类。我们建议,元素硼可以用来区分旋转混合和二进制的情况。我们的单星人口模拟量化的预期量的硼在快速和慢速旋转,并允许与测量的氮和硼丰度的B星进行比较。

英文摘要:

We have used VLT FLAMES data to constrain the uncertain physics of rotational mixing in stellar evolution models. We have simulated a population of single stars and find two groups of observed stars that cannot be explained: (1) a group of fast rotating stars which do not show evidence for rotational mixing and (2) a group of slow rotators with strong N enrichment. Binary effects and fossil magnetic fields may be considered to explain those two groups. We suggest that the element boron could be used to distinguish between rotational mixing and the binary scenario. Our single star population simulations quantify the expected amount of boron in fast and slow rotators and allow a comparison with measured nitrogen and boron abundances in B-stars.
