II型造父变星和RR型天琴座变星的光度

The luminosities of type II Cepheids and RR Lyrae variables

Michael Feast

摘要:

本文综述了近年来对造父变星II(CepheIIs)和天琴座RR变星光度的研究工作.在近红外波段(JHK),球状星团中的CephiIIs在其整个周期范围(约1 ~ 100天)内表现出窄的线性周期光度关系.在大麦哲伦星云的一般区域中,CephII遵循这种关系的时间短于大约20天。在较长的周期(RV Tau星的区域),LMC场星有显著的散射,平均比PL关系更明亮。OGLEIII光学数据的LMC场变量显示出类似的趋势。在RV Tau周期范围内的恒星的红外颜色显示出三个分组之间的显著平均差异;银河场,LMC场和球状星团。至少在银河场的情况下,这可能受到选择效应的强烈影响。在4到20天的周期范围内(W Vir范围),有一些位于PL关系之上的恒星可以通过它们的光变曲线识别出来,它们都可能是双星。明亮的银河系变星kappa Pav可能属于这一组。有证据表明,在一般的领域(大麦哲伦星系和银河系)的头三型有一个更广泛的质量范围比那些在球状星团。目前,CephII PL零点依赖于两颗恒星的脉动弛豫。RR Lyrics M(V)-[Fe/H]和Ks-log P关系的零点可以由三角、统计和脉动松弛得到。这些零点进行比较与CephiII和经典的造父变星规模使用变量的这三种类型的LMC。在不确定度(约0.1mag)内,各种尺度是一致的。

英文摘要:

Recent work on the luminosities of type II Cepheids (CephIIs) and RR Lyrae variables is reviewed.In the near infrared (JHKs) the CephIIs in globular clusters show a narrow, linear, period-luminosity relation over their whole period range (about 1 to 100 days). The CephIIs in the general field of the LMC follow this relation for periods shorter than about 20 days. At longer period (the region of the RV Tau stars), the LMC field stars have a significant scatter and in the mean are more luminous than the PL relation. The OGLEIII optical data for the LMC field variables show similar trends. Infrared colours of stars in the RV Tau period range show marked mean differences between three groupings; the Galactic field, the LMC field, and globular clusters. In the case of the Galactic field, at least, this may be strongly influenced by selection effects. In the period range about 4 to 20 days (the W Vir range) there are stars lying above the PL relation which may be recognized by their light curves and are all likely to be binaries. The bright Galactic variable, kappa Pav probably belongs to this group. There is evidence that CephIIs in the general field (LMC and Galaxy) have a wider range of masses than those in globular clusters. At present the CephII PL zero-point depends on the pulsation parallaxes of two stars. Zero-points of RR Lyrae M(V)-[Fe/H] and Ks-log P relations can be obtained from trigonometrical, statistical and pulsation parallaxes. These zero-points are compared with those for CephIIs and with the classical Cepheid scale using variables of these three types in the LMC. Within the uncertainties (about 0.1mag) the various scales are in agreement.
