摘要:

在发现了100多年之后,被称为Blazhko效应的RR Lyrant脉动的显著幅度和相位调制的起源仍然是一个谜。在开普勒太空望远镜的帮助下,我们揭示了一种新的意想不到的现象:天琴座RR星(其同名星和原型)以及其他开普勒Blazhko RR天琴座恒星的倍周期。我们已经发现,倍周期是直接连接到Blazhko调制。此外,通过流体动力学模型计算,我们成功地再现了倍周期,并证明了这种效应的根本原因是基模与第九径向泛音之间的高阶共振(9:2),这是一种奇异模。我们讨论的影响,这些最近的研究结果对我们的理解百年的Blazhko问题。

英文摘要:

The origin of the conspicuous amplitude and phase modulation of the RR Lyrae pulsation - known as the Blazhko effect - is still a mystery after more than 100 years of its discovery. With the help of the Kepler space telescope we have revealed a new and unexpected phenomenon: period doubling in RR Lyr - the eponym and prototype of its class - as well as in other Kepler Blazhko RR Lyrae stars. We have found that period doubling is directly connected to the Blazhko modulation. Furthermore, with hydrodynamic model calculations we have succeeded in reproducing the period doubling and proved that the root cause of this effect is a high order resonance (9:2) between the fundamental mode and the 9th radial overtone, which is a strange mode. We discuss the implications of these recent findings on our understanding of the century-old Blazhko problem.
