恒星自转统一模型II:恒星星族的模型依赖特征

Towards a unified model of stellar rotation II: Model-dependent characteristics of stellar populations

Adrian T. Potter, Christopher A. Tout, Ines Brott

摘要:

自转对恒星的演化有许多重要的影响。除了离心力引起的结构变化外,旋转引起的湍流混合和湍流环流也会极大地影响恒星的化学演化。这会导致表面温度和光度的变化,并改变其寿命。在观测上,自转会降低地表重力,导致质量损失增加,并导致各种化学同位素的地表丰度异常。用简单的恒星演化模型来复制这些物理效应是非常困难的,这导致了使用许多不同的公式来描述物理学。利用基于几种物理模型的恒星演化计算,我们讨论了所得到的模拟恒星星族的特征,这可以帮助区分模型。

英文摘要:

Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. Apart from structural changes because of the centrifugal force, turbulent mixing and meridional circulation caused by rotation can dramatically affect a star's chemical evolution. This leads to changes in the surface temperature and luminosity as well as modifying its lifetime. Observationally rotation decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes. The replication of these physical effects with simple stellar evolution models is very difficult and has resulted in the use of numerous different formulations to describe the physics. Using stellar evolution calculations based on several physical models we discuss the features of the resulting simulated stellar populations which can help to distinguish between the models.
