球状星团II中红巨星的质量流出和色球活动。M13和M92

Mass Outflow and Chromospheric Activity of Red Giant Stars in Globular Clusters II. M13 and M92

摘要:

利用MMT望远镜Hectochelle获得了球状星团M13中123颗红巨星和M92中64颗红巨星的高分辨光谱。发射和线的不对称性在Halpha,钙钾被确定,在扩展的大气中的运动特征,并寻求差异归因于这些集群和M15的金属丰度。在红巨星分支中,H α辐射一般出现在T_eff < 4500 K和log L/L_sun > 2.75的恒星中。有辐射的较暗的恒星是渐近巨星分支星(AGB)或双星。H α的线平分线表明,在所有的星团中,亮度大于log L/L_sun ~ 2.5的恒星都开始色球膨胀,并且这种外流速度随着恒星亮度的增加而增加。然而,在富含金属的M13中,温度最低的巨星在H α中的流出量大大减少,这很可能是由于T_eff的降低和大气结构的变化。在相同的光度和色球中的信号加速流出时,Ca K_3流出速度比H α所显示的要大。在AGB上清晰可见的恒星显示出Halalpha的色球外流速度比RGB天体快。虽然RGB上的H α速度对于所有金属丰度都是相似的,但贫金属的M15和M92中的AGB星比富金属的M13中的流出速度更高。这些色球线的配置文件在配对的金属贫乏的集群,M15和M92的比较显示出显着的相似性,在存在的排放和动力学签名,并没有揭示的“第二参数”的效果的来源。

英文摘要:

High resolution spectra of 123 red giant stars in the globular cluster M13 and 64 red giant stars in M92 were obtained with Hectochelle at the MMT telescope. Emission and line asymmetries in Halpha, and Ca K are identified, characterizing motions in the extended atmospheres and seeking differences attributable to metallicity in these clusters and M15. On the red giant branch, emission in Halpha generally appears in stars with T_eff < 4500 K and log L/L_sun > 2.75. Fainter stars showing emission are asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars or perhaps binary stars. The line-bisector for Halpha reveals the onset of chromospheric expansion in stars more luminous than log L/L_sun ~ 2.5 in all clusters, and this outflow velocity increases with stellar luminosity. However, the coolest giants in the metal-rich M13 show greatly reduced outflow in Halpha most probably due to decreased T_eff and changing atmospheric structure. The Ca K_3 outflow velocities are larger than shown by Halpha at the same luminosity and signal accelerating outflows in the chromospheres. Stars clearly on the AGB show faster chromospheric outflows in Halpha than RGB objects. While the Halpha velocities on the RGB are similar for all metallicities, the AGB stars in the metal-poor M15 and M92 have higher outflow velocities than in the metal-rich M13. Comparison of these chromospheric line profiles in the paired metal-poor clusters, M15 and M92 shows remarkable similarities in the presence of emission and dynamical signatures, and does not reveal a source of the `second-parameter' effect.
