冷星的分层演化

The stratified evolution of a cool star

G. Michaud, J. Richer, O. Richard

摘要:

低质量恒星在其演化过程中通常会经历分层和丰度异常。一颗质量为0.95太阳质量、金属量Z = 0.004的恒星从主序星到水平支(HB)都被跟踪。在主序星上,较大的层积效应可能来自于与金属丰度和行星形成有关的吸积作用。当它穿过巨大的分支时,分层出现在氢燃烧的外壳周围。它可能会造成水动力不稳定性,并与巨大的分支丰度异常。He闪光后,恒星演变为HB。如果它失去了足够的质量,它最终会成为一颗热的HB星(或者在该领域是一颗sdB星),有效温度大于11000 K。所有的sdB恒星都被观测到有近似太阳的铁丰度,无论它们原来的金属丰度如何,这意味着超过100倍。太阳质量为0.95的恒星也应该如此。它在主层序上的内部水动力特性如何影响它在HB上的命运目前还不确定。

英文摘要:

A low mass star usually experiences stratification and abundance anomalies during its evolution. A 0.95 solar mass star with a metallicity Z = 0.004 is followed from the main-sequence to the Horizontal Branch (HB). On the main-sequence the larger effects of stratification may come from accretion as was suggested in relation to metallicity and planet formation. As it evolves through the giant branch, stratification appears around the hydrogen burning shell. It may create hydrodynamic instabilities and be related to abundance anomalies on the giant branch. After the He flash the star evolves to the HB. If it loses enough mass, it ends up a hot HB star (or in the field an sdB star) with effective temperatures larger than 11000 K. All sdB stars are observed to have an approximately solar iron abundance whatever their original metallicity, implying overabundances by factors of up to 100. So should the 0.95 solar mass star. How its internal hydrodynamic properties on the main sequence may influence its fate on the HB is currently uncertain.
