黄超巨星的脉动不稳定性

Pulsational instability of yellow hypergiants

Yuri A. Fadeyev

摘要:

研究了星族I(X=0.7,Y=0.02)大质量恒星在氦核后主序星引力收缩期间对径向振荡的不稳定性。初始恒星质量在65 M_ \odot ~ 90 M_ \odot之间。在自激恒星振荡的流体动力学计算中,我们假设脉动恒星包层中的能量传递是由于辐射热传导和对流。对流换热是在含时湍流对流理论的框架下处理的。在恒星核氢耗尽后外层的演化膨胀过程中,当Mzams= 65 M_(\odot)和Mzams= 90 M_(\odot)的有效温度分别为Teff > 6700 K和Teff > 7200 K时,恒星对径向振荡是不稳定的。脉动不稳定性是由于氦电离区中的κ机制,并且在较低的有效温度下,由于对流显著增加,振荡衰减。在这一演化阶段,径向脉动周期的上限不超过200天。当Mzams= 65 M_ \odot和Mzams= 90 M_ \odot的有效温度分别为Teff > 7300 K和Teff > 7600 K时,超巨星的径向振荡在外层演化收缩过程中恢复。初始的径向振荡是由于第一泛音的不稳定性,在较高的有效温度下(Mzams= 65 M_ \odot时Teff > 7700 K,Mzams= 90 M_ \odot时Teff > 8200 K)发生向基模脉动的转变。演化中的蓝黄超巨星径向振荡周期的上限不超过130天。因此,黄超巨星在其演化阶段的主要部分是稳定的,不受径向恒星脉动的影响。

英文摘要:

Instability of population I (X=0.7, Y=0.02) massive stars against radial oscillations during the post-main sequence gravitational contraction of the helium core is investigated. Initial stellar masses are in the range from 65M_\odot to 90M_\odot. In hydrodynamic computations of self-exciting stellar oscillations we assumed that energy transfer in the envelope of the pulsating star is due to radiative heat conduction and convection. The convective heat transfer was treated in the framework of the theory of time-dependent turbulent convection. During evolutionary expansion of outer layers after hydrogen exhaustion in the stellar core the star is shown to be unstable against radial oscillations while its effective temperature is Teff > 6700K for Mzams=65M_\odot and Teff > 7200K for mzams=90M_\odot. Pulsational instability is due to the κ-mechanism in helium ionization zones and at lower effective temperature oscillations decay because of significantly increasing convection. The upper limit of the period of radial pulsations on this stage of evolution does not exceed 200 day. Radial oscillations of the hypergiant resume during evolutionary contraction of outer layers when the effective temperature is Teff > 7300K for Mzams=65M_\odot and Teff > 7600K for Mzams=90M_\odot. Initially radial oscillations are due to instability of the first overtone and transition to fundamental mode pulsations takes place at higher effective temperatures (Teff > 7700K for Mzams=65M_\odot and Teff > 8200K for Mzams=90M_\odot). The upper limit of the period of radial oscillations of evolving blueward yellow hypergiants does not exceed 130 day. Thus, yellow hypergiants are stable against radial stellar pulsations during the major part of their evolutionary stage.
