磁场在恒星演化中的基础作用

The basic role of magnetic field in stellar evolution

André Maeder, Georges Meynet, Cyril Georgy, Sylvia Ekström

摘要:

从恒星形成到恒星演化终点,磁场在恒星演化的各个阶段都发挥着重要作用。简要回顾了主要影响。我们还表明,O型星有大的对流信封,对流发电机可以工作。在那里,静磁平衡中的场具有100 G量级的强度。一些具有强极场的OB星(Henrichs et al. 2003 a)显示出大的N增强,表明内部混合很强。我们认为,在这些磁星的内部旋转规律接近均匀增强的纬向环流是负责观察到的混合。因此,造成混合的不是磁场本身,而是与固体旋转相关的强热不稳定性。进化的一个关键问题是,在旋转恒星的辐射区是否有发电机在工作。Tayler-Spruit(TS)发电机是最好的候选者。我们导出了辐射层中发电机的一些基本关系式。演化模型与TS发电机显示出重要的影响:内部旋转耦合和增强的混合,所有的模型输出受到影响。

英文摘要:

Magnetic field is playing an important role at all stages of star evolution from star formation to the endpoints. The main effects are briefly reviewed. We also show that O-type stars have large convective envelopes, where convective dynamo could work. There, fields in magnetostatic balance have intensities of the order of 100 G. A few OB stars with strong polar fields (Henrichs et al. 2003a) show large N-enhancements indicating a strong internal mixing. We suggest that the meridional circulation enhanced by an internal rotation law close to uniform in these magnetic stars is responsible for the observed mixing. Thus, it is not the magnetic field itself which makes the mixing, but the strong thermal instability associated to solid body rotation. A critical question for evolution is whether a dynamo is at work in radiative zones of rotating stars. The Tayler-Spruit (TS) dynamo is the best candidate. We derive some basic relations for dynamos in radiative layers. Evolutionary models with TS dynamo show important effects: internal rotation coupling and enhanced mixing, all model outputs being affected.
