摘要:

近年来,借助于三维流体动力学模式大气程序,红巨星大气的模拟取得了重大进展。在这方面的贡献,我们提供了一个概述选定的结果,在这方面利用三维流体动力CO 5 BOLD恒星模型大气。流体动力学模拟表明,对流运动导致红巨星的大气结构与经典的一维模型大气预测的大气结构有显着差异。这些模拟的结果还表明,在某些情况下,1D模型甚至不能再现3D流体动力学模型的平均特性,例如P-T剖面。3D模型大气中的大的水平温度波动,以及平均和1D模型的温度分布之间的差异<3D>,导致3D和1D模型大气预测的谱线的强度有很大的差异。这在最低金属丰度([M/H]&lt;-2.0)的模型中尤其重要,其中中性原子和分子线的3D-1D丰度差异可能达到(甚至超过)-0.6dex。我们还讨论了几个简化和数值方面的红巨星大气的三维流体动力学模拟,并简要地解决几个问题,迫切需要的进展。

英文摘要:

During the recent years significant progress has been made in the modeling of red giant atmospheres with the aid of 3D hydrodynamical model atmosphere codes. In this contribution we provide an overview of selected results obtained in this context by utilizing 3D hydrodynamical CO5BOLD stellar model atmospheres. Hydrodynamical simulations show that convective motions lead to significant differences in the atmospheric structures of red giants with respect to those predicted by the classical 1D model atmospheres. Results of these simulations also show that in certain cases 1D models fail to reproduce even the average properties of the 3D hydrodynamical models, such as P-T profiles. Large horizontal temperature fluctuations in the 3D model atmospheres, as well as differences between the temperature profiles of the average <3D> and 1D models, lead to large discrepancies in the strengths of spectral lines predicted by the 3D and 1D model atmospheres. This is especially important in models at lowest metallicities ([M/H]<-2.0) where the 3D-1D abundance differences may reach (or even exceed) -0.6 dex for lines of neutral atoms and molecules. We also discuss several simplifications and numerical aspects involved in the present 3D hydrodynamical modeling of red giant atmospheres, and briefly address several issues where urgent progress may be needed.
