摘要:

我们报告了迄今为止在WD 0111+0018的292.9 s模式中观测到的脉动DA(氢大气)白矮星(WD)的最快周期变化率。观察到的周期变化,快于10^{-12} s/s,超过了两个数量级以上的预期速度从冷却单独为这类缓慢和简单地演变脉动WD。这一结果表明,存在一个额外的时间尺度的周期演化在这些脉动的对象。我们还测量了非线性组合频率的周期变化率,并表明它们具有其母模的演化特征,证实这些组合频率不是独立的模式,而是恒星外层非线性失真的产物。

英文摘要:

We report the most rapid rate of period change measured to date for a pulsating DA (hydrogen atmosphere) white dwarf (WD), observed in the 292.9 s mode of WD 0111+0018. The observed period change, faster than 10^{-12} s/s, exceeds by more than two orders of magnitude the expected rate from cooling alone for this class of slow and simply evolving pulsating WDs. This result indicates the presence of an additional timescale for period evolution in these pulsating objects. We also measure the rates of period change of nonlinear combination frequencies and show that they share the evolutionary characteristics of their parent modes, confirming that these combination frequencies are not independent modes but rather artifacts of some nonlinear distortion in the outer layers of the star.
