快速振荡Ap星大气中磁声脉动的模拟

Simulations of magneto-acoustic pulsations in atmospheres of rapidly oscillating Ap stars

E. Khomenko, O. Kochukhov

摘要:

快速振荡的Ap型恒星在天体物理学上表现出一种有趣的组合,即类似偶极的强磁场和类似太阳的高泛音p型脉动。最近对这些恒星的时间分辨光谱分析揭示了一幅复杂的磁声脉动波传播图,其振幅和相位随大气高度的变化而强烈变化。为了解释这些观测结果,并获得一个新的见解到大气动力学的roAp星,我们进行了2-D的时间依赖性,非线性磁流体动力学模拟波的一个现实的大气分层的一个冷Ap星。我们探索了一个网格的模拟在一个很宽的参数空间,治疗振荡的速度,磁场和热力学量在自洽的方式。我们的模拟促进了一个新的理解大气和磁场对磁声波的传播和反射特性的影响,节点表面的形成,以及不同数量的相对变化。我们的模拟再现了所观察到的roAp星脉动行为的所有主要特征。我们表明,第一次,在roAp大气中的脉动的整体深度依赖性的强烈影响,在光球基地的密度反演。

英文摘要:

Rapidly oscillating Ap stars exhibit an astrophysically interesting combination of strong, dipolar-like magnetic fields and high-overtone p-mode pulsations similar to the Sun. Recent time-resolved spectroscopy of these stars unravelled a complex picture of propagating magneto-acoustic pulsation waves, with amplitude and phase strongly changing as a function of atmospheric height. To interpret these observations and gain a new insight into the atmospheric dynamics of roAp stars we have carried out 2-D time-dependent, non-linear magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of waves for a realistic atmospheric stratification of a cool Ap star. We explore a grid of simulations in a wide parameter space, treating oscillations of the velocity, magnetic field and thermodynamic quantities in a self-consistent manner. Our simulations foster a new understanding of the influence of the atmosphere and the magnetic field on the propagation and reflection properties of magneto-acoustic waves, formation of node surfaces, and relative variation of different quantities. Our simulations reproduce all main features of the observed pulsational behavior of roAp stars. We show, for the first time, that the overall depth dependence of the pulsations in roAp atmospheres is strongly influenced by the density inversion at the photospheric base.
