摘要:

我们对12个富碳原行星状星云进行了长期(14年)的V和R光度监测。光和颜色曲线显示所有这些的可变性。光变曲线是复杂的,并且暗示多个周期、变化的周期和/或变化的振幅,这归因于脉动。每一个都确定了一个主导周期,发现最冷(G8)的主导周期在150 d左右,最热(F3)的主导周期在35-40 d左右。在样品中发现了脉动周期与有效温度之间的明显的线性反比关系,以及光变化幅度与有效温度之间的线性反比关系。这些都是一致的预期脉动后AGB恒星朝着更高的温度在恒定的光度。已公布的光谱能量分布和中红外图像显示,这些物体具有冷却(200 K),分离的尘埃壳和已公布的模型意味着强烈的质量损失在几千年前结束。在这些检测周期长达150天,需要在出版后AGB的演变模型,耦合的脉动周期的质量损失率,并假设密集的质量损失结束时,脉动周期已减少到100天的修订。这一修订将具有延长后AGB演变早期阶段的时间尺度的效果。看来,在20年的时间尺度上,单个物体脉动周期的实时演化可能是可检测的。

英文摘要:

We have carried out long-term (14 years) V and R photometric monitoring of 12 carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae. The light and color curves display variability in all of them. The light curves are complex and suggest multiple periods, changing periods, and/or changing amplitudes, which are attributed to pulsation. A dominant period has been determined for each and found to be in the range of ~150 d for the coolest (G8) to 35-40 d for the warmest (F3). A clear, linear inverse relationship has been found in the sample between the pulsation period and the effective temperature and also an inverse linear relationship between the amplitude of light variation and the effective temperature. These are consistent with the expectation for a pulsating post-AGB star evolving toward higher temperature at constant luminosity. The published spectral energy distributions and mid-infrared images show these objects to have cool (200 K), detached dust shells and published models imply that intensive mass loss ended a few thousand years ago. The detection of periods as long as 150 d in these requires a revision in the published post-AGB evolution models that couple the pulsation period to the mass loss rate and that assume that intensive mass loss ended when the pulsation period had decreased to 100 d. This revision will have the effect of extending the time scale for the early phases of post-AGB evolution. It appears that real time evolution in the pulsation periods of individual objects may be detectable on the time scale of two decades.
