A星中热盐对流对扩散诱导铁积累的影响

Influence of thermohaline convection on diffusion-induced iron accumulation in A stars

Sylvie Théado, Sylvie Vauclair, Georges Alecian, Francis LeBlanc

摘要:

原子扩散可能导致重元素在恒星内部某些特定的层中积累。几位作者曾援引Z凸不透明度区域的铁积累来定量解释在某些恒星中观察到的丰度异常,或通过诱导$κ$机制解释恒星振荡。然而,这些作者从未考虑到这样的积累会产生逆$μ$ -梯度,对于温盐对流来说是不稳定的。在这里,我们提出了A-F星的结果,其中丰度的变化计算和没有这个过程。我们发现,铁积累时,考虑到热盐对流仍然存在,但大大减少相比,当这个物理过程被忽略。对A型星以及其他类型的星的热盐对流的后果

英文摘要:

Atomic diffusion may lead to heavy element accumulation inside stars in certain specific layers. Iron accumulation in the Z-bump opacity region has been invoked by several authors to quantitatively account for abundance anomalies observed in some stars, or to account for stellar oscillations through the induced $κ$-mechanism. These authors however never took into account the fact that such an accumulation creates an inverse $μ$-gradient, unstable for thermohaline convection. Here, we present results for A-F stars, where abundance variations are computed with and without this process. We show that iron accumulation is still present when thermohaline convection is taken into account, but much reduced compared to when this physical process is neglected. The consequences of thermohaline convection for A-type stars as well as for other types of stars are presented
