LBV星对径向振荡的不稳定性

Instability of LBV-stars against radial oscillations

Yu. A. Fadeyev

摘要:

本文研究了有效温度1.5e4K <= Teff <= 3e 4K,辐射光度1.2e6L_odot <= L <= 1.9e6L_odot,质量35.7M_odot <= M <= 49.1M_odot的LBV--星激发的非线性径向振荡。根据星族I星(X=0.7,Z=0.02)的演化序列,以70 ~ 90 Modot的初始质量为初始条件,进行了流体动力学计算。所有的流体动力学模型都表现出对径向振荡的不稳定性,其振幅增长时间与恒星的动力学时间尺度相当。径向振荡以非线性行波的形式存在,从致密核的边界传播到流体动力学模型的上边界。外层的速度振幅是几百公里/秒,而辐射光振幅不超过0.2马格。恒星振荡不是由卡帕机制驱动的,是由于气体的不稳定性与绝热指数接近临界值Gamma_1 = 4/3,由于在总压的辐射的贡献大。流体动力学模型的光变周期范围(6天<= P <= 31天)与在LBV--星中观测到的微变周期一致。

英文摘要:

In this study we consider the nonlinear radial oscillations exciting in LBV--stars with effective temperatures 1.5e4 K <= Teff <= 3e4 K, bolometric luminosities 1.2e6 L_odot <= L <= 1.9e6 L_odot and masses 35.7 M_odot <= M <= 49.1 M_odot. Hydrodynamic computations were carried out with initial conditions obtained from evolutionary sequences of population I stars (X=0.7, Z=0.02) with initial masses from 70M_odot to 90 M_odot. All hydrodynamical models show instability against radial oscillations with amplitude growth time comparable with dynamical time scale of the star. Radial oscillations exist in the form of nonlinear running waves propagating from the boundary of the compact core to the upper boundary of the hydrodynamical model. The velocity amplitude of outer layers is of several hundreds of km/s while the bolometric light amplitude does not exceed 0.2 mag. Stellar oscillations are not driven by the kappa-mechanism and are due to the instability of the gas with adiabatic exponent close to the critical value Gamma_1 = 4/3 due to the large contribution of radiation in the total pressure. The range of the light variation periods (6 day <= P <= 31 day) of hydrodynamical models agrees with periods of microvariability observed in LBV--stars.
