摘要:

我们采用了一个最先进的G117-B15 A星震模型,它是富氢大气(DA)白矮星的原型(也称为DAV或ZZ Ceti变量),并使用最近测量的这颗脉动恒星主模式的周期变化率值来推导出对轴子质量的新约束,被认为是宇宙中暗物质候选者的静止的非钡离子粒子。假设G117-B15 A是我们的星震学模型所真实代表的,特别是,主模的周期与H包层中捕获的脉动g模有关,我们发现该恒星存在额外冷却的强烈迹象,与质量为m_a \cos^2 β= 17.4^{+2.3}-{-2.7} meV的轴子的发射相一致。

英文摘要:

We employ a state-of-the-art asteroseismological model of G117-B15A, the archetype of the H-rich atmosphere (DA) white dwarf pulsators (also known as DAV or ZZ Ceti variables), and use the most recently measured value of the rate of period change for the dominant mode of this pulsating star to derive a new constraint on the mass of axion, the still conjectural non-barionic particle considered as candidate for dark matter of the Universe. Assuming that G117-B15A is truly represented by our asteroseismological model, and in particular, that the period of the dominant mode is associated to a pulsation g-mode trapped in the H envelope, we find strong indications of the existence of extra cooling in this star, compatible with emission of axions of mass m_a \cos^2 β= 17.4^{+2.3}_{-2.7} meV.
