大质量恒星大气参数的非LTE谱分析

Atmospheric parameter determination for massive stars via non-LTE spectrum analysis

Maria-Fernanda Nieva, Norbert Przybilla

摘要:

我们描述了一种自洽谱分析技术,采用非LTE线的形成,它允许精确的大质量恒星的大气参数推导:1 σ的不确定性低至1%的有效温度和~0.05-0.10德克斯在表面重力可以实现。特别强调了大气模式计算、观测光谱和定量光谱分析中系统误差的主要来源。讨论了主序附近的OB型恒星及其演化后代BA型超巨星的应用实例,这些超巨星的质量约为8 ~ 25 Msun,有效温度范围约为8000 ~ 35000 K。放宽恒星光谱合成中的局部热力学平衡假设已被证明是提高定量分析精度的决定性因素。尽管目前的例子,集中在热,大质量的恒星,同样的哲学可以适用于所有类型的恒星,包括较冷的物体,如太阳,一旦基本的恒星大气物理学是一致的再现线形成计算。

英文摘要:

We describe a self-consistent spectrum analysis technique employing non-LTE line formation, which allows precise atmospheric parameters of massive stars to be derived: 1sigma-uncertainties as low as ~1% in effective temperature and ~0.05-0.10 dex in surface gravity can be achieved. Special emphasis is given to the minimisation of the main sources of systematic errors in the atmospheric model computation, the observed spectra and the quantitative spectral analysis. Examples of applications are discussed for OB-type stars near the main sequence and their evolved progeny, the BA-type supergiants, covering masses of ~8 to 25 Msun and a range in effective temperature from ~8000 to 35000 K. Relaxing the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium in stellar spectral synthesis has been shown to be decisive for improving the accuracy of quantitative analyses. Despite the present examples, which concentrate on hot, massive stars, the same philosophy can be applied to line-formation calculations for all types of stars, including cooler objects like the Sun, once the underlying stellar atmospheric physics is reproduced consistently.
