盾牌座δ星的模式选择:观测和理论频谱的规律性

Toward mode selection in Delta Scuti stars: Regularities in observed and theoretical frequency spectra

M. Breger, P. Lenz, A. A. Pamyatnykh

摘要:

到目前为止,只有一小部分理论预测的非径向脉动模式在盾牌座三角洲恒星中被观察到。尽管如此,在最近对选定的盾牌座δ恒星的光度研究中检测到的大量频率使我们能够在模式的频率间隔中寻找频率间隔。模式识别用于解释这些结果。对几颗盾牌座δ恒星(FG Vir,44 Tau,BL Cam等)的统计分析表明,光度观测到的频率不是随机分布的,而是激发的非径向模式在许多径向阶数上聚集在径向模式的频率周围。观测到的辐射可以部分解释为被困在恒星包层中的模式。这种模式选择机制是由Dziembowski和Krolikowska(1990)提出的,并被证明对l = 1模式是有效的。新的脉动模型计算证实了所观察到的脉动。我们给出了s-f图,它比较了径向频率(s)与最低频率不稳定径向模式(f)的频率的平均间隔。如果我们假设观测到的频率簇的中心对应于径向模式频率,那么这提供了对观测到的恒星的log g值的估计。这一假设得到了充分研究的盾牌座δ变星的例子的证实,在这些变星中,径向模式被明确地识别出来。

英文摘要:

Only a fraction of the theoretically predicted nonradial pulsation modes have so far been observed in Delta Scuti stars. Nevertheless, the large number of frequencies detected in recent photometric studies of selected Delta Scuti stars allow us to look for regularities in the frequency spacing of modes. Mode identifications are used to interpret these results. Statistical analyses of several Delta Scuti stars (FG Vir, 44 Tau, BL Cam and others) show that the photometrically observed frequencies are not distributed at random, but that the excited nonradial modes cluster around the frequencies of the radial modes over many radial orders. The observed regularities can be partly explained by modes trapped in the stellar envelope. This mode selection mechanism was proposed by Dziembowski & Krolikowska (1990) and shown to be efficient for l = 1 modes. New pulsation model calculations confirm the observed regularities. We present the s-f diagram, which compares the average separation of the radial frequencies (s) with the frequency of the lowest-frequency unstable radial mode (f). This provides an estimate for the log g value of the observed star, if we assume that the centers of the observed frequency clusters correspond to the radial mode frequencies. This assumption is confirmed by examples of well-studied Delta Scuti variables in which radial modes were definitely identified.
