摘要:

红巨星中径向和非径向振荡模式的精确确定频率的可用性最终为详细研究这些恒星的内部结构铺平了道路。我们寻找在内部结构的CoRoT目标HR 7349的急剧结构变化的区域的地震签名。我们分析了大的频率分离和第二频率差的频率依赖性,以及与包络自关联函数获得的大的频率分离的行为。我们发现的周期性成分的振荡频率,即在HR 7349的急剧结构变化的地震签名的证据。在与恒星模型的比较中,我们解释这一功能所造成的局部抑郁症的声速发生在氦二次电离区。仅使用地震约束,我们就可以估算出HR 7349的质量(M=1.2^{+0.6}_{-0.4} Msun)和半径(R=12.2^{+2.1}_{-1.8} Rsun),这与恒星在HR图中的位置一致。

英文摘要:

The availability of precisely determined frequencies of radial and non-radial oscillation modes in red giants is finally paving the way for detailed studies of the internal structure of these stars. We look for the seismic signature of regions of sharp structure variation in the internal structure of the CoRoT target HR7349. We analyse the frequency dependence of the large frequency separation and second frequency differences, as well as the behaviour of the large frequency separation obtained with the envelope auto-correlation function. We find evidence for a periodic component in the oscillation frequencies, i.e. the seismic signature of a sharp structure variation in HR7349. In a comparison with stellar models we interpret this feature as caused by a local depression of the sound speed that occurs in the helium second-ionization region. Using solely seismic constraints this allows us to estimate the mass (M=1.2^{+0.6}_{-0.4} Msun) and radius (R=12.2^{+2.1}_{-1.8} Rsun) of HR7349, which agrees with the location of the star in an HR diagram.
