摘要:

CoRoT为期5个月的观测运行使我们有机会分析各种各样的红巨星,并从它们的星震特性中获得基本的恒星参数。我们对4\,600多条CoRoT光变曲线进行分析,以提取尽可能多的信息。我们考虑到了恒星样本和方法的特点,以便提供尽可能无偏见的星震结果。我们还研究和比较了银河系两个相反区域的红巨星的性质。我们用包络自相关函数分析时间序列,以提取具有可靠误差条的精确星震参数。我们首先研究了类太阳振荡的平均大频率间隔和最大地震振幅的频率,然后研究了过剩功率包络的参数。利用有效温度的附加信息,我们得到了恒星的质量和半径。我们在4\,600条光变曲线中识别了1\,800多颗红巨星,并获得了约930个目标的恒星参数的精确分布。我们能够可靠地测量数百颗红巨星的质量和半径。我们已经得到了关于恒星星族分布和红团的精确信息。比较两个不同观测场的观测结果表明,恒星的星震性质在全球范围内是相似的,但红团星的星震性质不同。这项研究显示了统计星震学的有效性:验证标度关系使我们能够推断基本的恒星参数,获得关于红巨星演化和内部结构的精确信息,并分析和比较来自不同领域的恒星星族。

英文摘要:

The CoRoT 5-month long observation runs give us the opportunity to analyze a large variety of red-giant stars and to derive fundamental stellar parameters from their asteroseismic properties. We perform an analysis of more than 4\,600 CoRoT light curves to extract as much information as possible. We take into account the characteristics of the star sample and of the method in order to provide asteroseismic results as unbiased as possible. We also study and compare the properties of red giants of two opposite regions of the Galaxy. We analyze the time series with the envelope autocorrelation function in order to extract precise asteroseismic parameters with reliable error bars. We examine first the mean large frequency separation of solar-like oscillations and the frequency of maximum seismic amplitude, then the parameters of the excess power envelope. With the additional information of the effective temperature, we derive the stellar mass and radius. We have identified more than 1\,800 red giants among the 4\,600 light curves and have obtained accurate distributions of the stellar parameters for about 930 targets. We were able to reliably measure the mass and radius of several hundred red giants. We have derived precise information on the stellar population distribution and on the red clump. Comparison between the stars observed in two different fields shows that the stellar asteroseismic properties are globally similar, but with different characteristics for red-clump stars. This study shows the efficiency of statistical asteroseismology: validating scaling relations allows us to infer fundamental stellar parameters, to derive precise information on the red-giant evolution and interior structure and to analyze and compare stellar populations from different fields.
