摘要:

演化的红巨星的大气层受到恒星内部脉动和恒星风的影响。由此产生的复杂的速度场严重影响在近红外光谱中观察到的分子线轮廓。借助于模型计算,着重研究了AGB大气中复杂谱线的形成过程,重点讨论了速度效应。此外,我们的目标是大气模型,能够定量再现线轮廓变化中发现的脉动晚型巨星的光谱。在化学平衡和LTE的假设下,通过求解包括速度效应在内的球形几何中的辐射转移,使用描述脉动增强的沙尘驱动风的模型来计算合成光谱。径向速度来自多普勒频移合成线剖面提供的气体速度的光谱特征的线形成区域的信息。在动力学模型的基础上,我们详细研究了AGB光谱中的各种分子特征起源于非常扩展的大气的不同几何深度的发现。我们表明,该模型能够定量再现的特征线轮廓的变化线采样深光球。典型的LPV的全球速度场也逼真地再现。关于其他模拟结果的差异可能的原因进行了概述。此外,我们提出了一个模型,显示CO dv=3线轮廓的变化与观测到的光谱的SRVs和讨论,在这些对象中的非发生线加倍可能是由于密度效应。我们的线轮廓建模的结果是另一个迹象表明,这里研究的动态模型正在接近一个现实的代表性外层的AGB星。

英文摘要:

The atmospheres of evolved red giants are considerably influenced by pulsations of the stellar interiors and developing stellar winds. The resulting complex velocity fields severely affect molecular line profiles observable in NIR spectra. With the help of model calculations the complex line formation process in AGB atmospheres was explored with the focus on velocity effects. Furthermore, we aimed for atmospheric models which are able to quantitatively reproduce line profile variations found in observed spectra of pulsating late-type giants. Models describing pulsation-enhanced dust-driven winds were used to compute synthetic spectra under the assumptions of chemical equilibrium and LTE and by solving the radiative transfer in spherical geometry including velocity effects. Radial velocities derived from Doppler-shifted synthetic line profiles provide information on the gas velocities in the line-forming region of the spectral features. On the basis of dynamic models we investigated in detail the finding that various molecular features in AGB spectra originate at different geometrical depths of the very extended atmospheres. We show that the models are able to quantitatively reproduce the characteristic line profile variations of lines sampling the deep photosphere. The global velocity fields of typical LPVs are also realistically reproduced. Possible reasons for discrepancies concerning other modelling results are outlined. In addition, we present a model showing variations of CO dv=3 line profiles comparable to observed spectra of SRVs and discuss that the non-occurence of line doubling in these objects may be due to a density effect. The results of our line profile modelling are another indication that the dynamic models studied here are approaching a realistic representation of the outer layers of AGB stars.
