红巨星中与长次级周期有关的物质抛射的证据

Evidence for mass ejection associated with long secondary periods in red giants

P. R. Wood, C. P. Nicholls

摘要:

大约30%的红巨星在光变曲线中表现出长的次级周期(LSP),以及较短的初级振荡周期。到目前为止,LSP的原因还无法解释:主要的可能性是二元性和非径向振荡模式。在这里,在大麦云红巨星的大型样本,无论有没有LSP检查的证据8或24 $μ$ m的中红外线过剩所造成的拱星尘埃。据发现,与LSP的恒星显示出显着的中红外过剩相比,没有LSP的恒星。此外,近红外$J$ - $K$颜色似乎不受24 $μ$ m过量存在的影响。这些发现表明,LSP导致红巨星的物质抛射,而失去的质量和星周尘埃最有可能是一个clusium或盘状配置。LSP和质量喷射的根本原因仍然未知。

英文摘要:

Approximately 30% of luminous red giants exhibit a Long Secondary Period (LSP) of variation in their light curves, in addition to a shorter primary period of oscillation. The cause of the LSP has so far defied explanation: leading possibilities are binarity and a nonradial mode of oscillation. Here, large samples of red giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud both with and without LSPs are examined for evidence of an 8 or 24 $μ$m mid-IR excess caused by circumstellar dust. It is found that stars with LSPs show a significant mid-IR excess compared to stars without LSPs. Furthermore, the near-IR $J$-$K$ color seems unaffected by the presence of the 24 $μ$m excess. These findings indicate that LSPs cause mass ejection from red giants and that the lost mass and circumstellar dust is most likely in either a clumpy or a disk-like configuration. The underlying cause of the LSP and the mass ejection remains unknown.
