II型造父变星的周期光度关系及其应用

Period-Luminosity Relations for Type II Cepheids and their Application

Noriyuki Matsunaga, Michael W. Feast, John W. Menzies

摘要:

在OGLE-III巡天中,对LMC II型造父变星估算了经平均强度校正的JHK星等。周期发光度(PL)的关系,以及在一个无红VI参数JHKs。在不确定度范围内,BL Her星(P <4d)和W Vir星(P = 4 ~ 20 d)的PL关系是共线的。红外关系的斜率与以前发现的球状星团中的II型造父变星一致。利用V553 Cen和SW Tau的脉动振幅数据,得到了不考虑金属丰度影响的LMC模数为18.46 ± 0.10等。第二参数球状星团NGC 6441中的II型造父变星的PL(VI)关系与LMC中的PL(VI)关系具有相同的斜率,这导致了15.46 ± 0.11等的星团距离模数。证实了这一假设,即该星团中的天琴座RR型变星因其金属丰度而过于明亮。这表明银河系变星kappa Pav是OGLE-III小组在大麦哲伦星系中发现的特殊W Vir类的成员。P > 20 d的OGLE-III II型造父变星(RV Tau星)的低分辨率光谱显示,TiO带占很大比例,只有一个显示C_2。作为一个群体,LMC RV Tau星与短周期II型造父变星在红外PL关系中不共线,这与球状星团中的此类恒星形成鲜明对比。LMC、球状星团和银河场II型造父变星之间的其他差异还表现在周期分布和红外颜色上。

英文摘要:

JHKs magnitudes corrected to mean intensity are estimated for LMC type II Cepheids in the OGLE-III survey. Period-luminosity (PL) relations are derived in JHKs as well as in a reddening-free VI parameter. Within the uncertainties the BL Her stars (P < 4 d) and the W Vir stars (P = 4 to 20 d) are co-linear in these PL relations. The slopes of the infrared relations agree with those found previously for type II Cepheids in globular clusters within the uncertainties. Using the pulsation parallaxes of V553 Cen and SW Tau the data lead to an LMC modulus uncorrected for any metallicity effects of 18.46 +- 0.10 mag. The type II Cepheids in the second-parameter globular cluster, NGC 6441, show a PL(VI) relation of the same slope as that in the LMC and this leads to a cluster distance modulus of 15.46 +- 0.11 mag, confirming the hypothesis that the RR Lyrae variables in this cluster are overluminous for their metallicity. It is suggested that the Galactic variable kappa Pav is a member of the peculiar W Vir class found by the OGLE-III group in the LMC. Low-resolution spectra of OGLE-III type II Cepheids with P > 20 d (RV Tau stars) show that a high proportion have TiO bands; only one has been found showing C_2. The LMC RV Tau stars, as a group, are not co-linear with the shorter-period type II Cepheids in the infrared PL relations in marked contrast to such stars in globular clusters. Other differences between LMC, globular cluster and Galactic field type II Cepheids are noted in period distribution and infrared colours.
