摘要:

在演化的渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星中观察到的大量质量损失通常归因于两个阶段的过程:由脉冲引起的冲击波引起的大气悬浮,然后是新形成的尘埃颗粒的辐射加速。尘埃通过碰撞将动量传递给周围的气体,从而引发了一般的外流。M型AGB星的辐射流体动力学模型表明,这些风可以由光子散射驱动-与吸收相反-在尺寸为0.1- 1\,$μ$ m的无铁硅酸盐颗粒上。在本文中,我们研究测光限制风驱动尘埃物种在M型AGB星,作为正在进行的努力,以确定可能的候选人之间的颗粒材料中观察到的拱星信封。为了研究由尘埃上的光子散射驱动的恒星风,并探索驱动风的尘埃物种的不同光学和化学性质如何影响测光,我们专注于两组动力学模型大气:(i)使用Mg $_2$ SiO $_4$颗粒生长的详细描述的模型,在计算辐射加速度时考虑散射和吸收截面,以及(ii)使用参数化尘埃描述的模型,其被构造成代表不同的化学和光学尘埃性质。通过比较这两套模型的合成测光的M型AGB星的观测,我们可以提供的风驱动的尘埃物种的属性的限制。光度计从风模型的详细描述的Mg $_2$ SiO $_4$颗粒的生长再现以及M型AGB星的观测值和时间依赖的行为,提供进一步的支持,由尘埃上的光子散射驱动的风的情况。

英文摘要:

The heavy mass loss observed in evolved asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars is usually attributed to a two-stage process: atmospheric levitation by pulsation-induced shock waves, followed by radiative acceleration of newly formed dust grains. The dust transfers momentum to the surrounding gas through collisions and thereby triggers a general outflow. Radiation-hydrodynamical models of M-type AGB stars suggest that these winds can be driven by photon scattering -- in contrast to absorption -- on Fe-free silicate grains of sizes 0.1--1\,$μ$m. In this paper we study photometric constraints for wind-driving dust species in M-type AGB stars, as part of an ongoing effort to identify likely candidates among the grain materials observed in circumstellar envelopes. To investigate the scenario of stellar winds driven by photon scattering on dust, and to explore how different optical and chemical properties of wind-driving dust species affect photometry we focus on two sets of dynamical models atmospheres: (i) models using a detailed description for the growth of Mg$_2$SiO$_4$ grains, taking into account both scattering and absorption cross-sections when calculating the radiative acceleration, and (ii) models using a parameterized dust description, constructed to represent different chemical and optical dust properties. By comparing synthetic photometry from these two sets of models to observations of M-type AGB stars we can provide constraints on the properties of wind-driving dust species. Photometry from wind models with a detailed description for the growth of Mg$_2$SiO$_4$ grains reproduces well both the values and the time-dependent behavior of observations of M-type AGB stars, providing further support for the scenario of winds driven by photon scattering on dust.
