A型星自转速度的演化

Evolution of rotational velocities of A-type stars

Wuming Yang, Shaolan Bi, Xiangcun Meng, Zhijia Tian

摘要:

研究发现,A型恒星的赤道速度在主序星阶段的前三分之一经历了加速,但在主序星阶段的最后阶段,速度降低,好像恒星在外层没有经历任何角动量的重新分配。计算结果表明,在MS阶段,由于流体动力学不稳定性引起的角动量输运,可以通过差分旋转零龄MS模型的演化再现赤道速度的加速和减小。加速度是由于储存在恒星内部的角动量向外传输的结果。在最后一个阶段,核与辐射包层是解耦的,包层的旋转是准固体旋转,包层的解耦和膨胀导致赤道速度的减小近似地跟随模型赤道速度变化的斜率,而角动量没有任何重新分布。当分数年龄为0.3 $\lesssim\mathrm{t/t_{MS}}\lesssim$ 0.5时,在MS相早期中心密度随年龄增大的恒星赤道速度几乎保持不变,而在MS相早期中心密度随年龄减小的恒星赤道速度则随年龄减小。

英文摘要:

It was found that the equatorial velocity of A-type stars undergoes an acceleration in the first third of the main sequence (MS) stage, but the velocity decreases as if the stars were not undergoing any redistribution of angular momentum in the external layers in the last stage of the MS phase. Our calculations show that the acceleration and the decrease of the equatorial velocity can be reproduced by the evolution of the differential rotation zero-age MS model with the angular momentum transport caused by hydrodynamic instabilities during the MS stage. The acceleration results from the fact that the angular momentum stored in the interiors of the stars is transported outwards. In the last stage, the core and the radiative envelope are uncoupling, and the rotation of the envelope is a quasi-solid rotation; the uncoupling and the expansion of the envelope lead to that the decrease of the equatorial velocity approximately follows the slope for the change in the equatorial velocity of the model without any redistribution of angular momentum. When the fractional age 0.3 $\lesssim\mathrm{t/t_{MS}}\lesssim$ 0.5, the equatorial velocity remains almost constant for the stars whose central density increases with age in the early stage of the MS phase, while the velocity decreases with age for the stars whose central density decreases with age in the early stage of the MS phase.
