摘要:

磁化学奇特(mCP)星大气中电流的存在对研究此类星的磁场的性质和演化具有重要的理论意义。磁场与感应电流之间的相互作用产生的洛伦兹力改变了大气结构,并引起了压敏光谱特征的特有旋转变化,可以使用相位分辨光谱观测进行分析。在这项工作中,我们继续介绍的结果的磁压研究的mCP星集中在高分辨率光谱观测的Bp星56Ari。我们已经发现了一个显着的变化的H α,H β和H γ谱线在完整的旋转周期的恒星。然后在模式大气分析的框架中解释这些观测结果,该框架解释了洛伦兹力效应。我们使用LLmodels恒星模型大气代码来计算56Ari大气中的磁压效应,同时考虑到恒星的实际化学性质和微观等离子体性质的精确计算。采用Synth3程序模拟Balmer谱线的相位分辨变异性。我们证明了在偶极+四极配置中具有向外指向的洛伦兹力的模型很可能再现所观察到的氢线变化。这些结果为这颗早型磁星大气中存在非零全局电流提供了强有力的证据。

英文摘要:

The presence of electric currents in the atmospheres of magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars could bring important theoretical constrains about the nature and evolution of magnetic field in these stars. The Lorentz force, which results from the interaction between the magnetic field and the induced currents, modifies the atmospheric structure and induces characteristic rotational variability of pressure-sensitive spectroscopic features, that can be analysed using phase-resolved spectroscopic observations. In this work we continue the presentation of results of the magnetic pressure studies in mCP stars focusing on the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of Bp star 56Ari. We have detected a significant variability of the Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma spectral lines during full rotation cycle of the star. Then these observations are interpreted in the framework of the model atmosphere analysis, which accounts for the Lorentz force effects. We used the LLmodels stellar model atmosphere code for the calculation of the magnetic pressure effects in the atmosphere of 56Ari taking into account realistic chemistry of the star and accurate computations of the microscopic plasma properties. The Synth3 code was employed to simulate phase-resolved variability of Balmer lines. We demonstrate that the model with the outward-directed Lorentz force in the dipole+quadrupole configuration is likely to reproduce the observed hydrogen lines variation. These results present strong evidences for the presence of non-zero global electric currents in the atmosphere of this early-type magnetic star.
