摘要:

高分辨率分光偏振观测提供了有关恒星磁场拓扑结构和化学元素三维分布的同步信息。在这里,我们提出了一个独特的全斯托克斯矢量光谱偏振数据集的分析,获得冷磁Ap星HD 24712。我们工作的目标是检查圆和线偏振签名内的谱线和研究恒星光谱和磁观测值的变化作为旋转相位的函数。HD 24712是在2010-2011年期间在3.6米ESO望远镜上用HARPSpol仪器观测到的。所得光谱的信噪比为300-600,分辨力超过100000。应用最小二乘反褶积(LSD)多线技术,将铁峰和稀土元素的谱线信息进行了综合。我们使用HD 24712的HARPSPol光谱来研究各个谱线中的斯托克斯轮廓形状的形态以及对应于不同线掩模的LSD斯托克斯轮廓。从LSD Stokes V剖面,我们测量了磁场的纵向分量<Bz>,精度为5-10 G。我们还确定了净线性偏振从LSD斯托克斯Q和U的配置文件。我们确定了一个改进的恒星自转周期P_rot = 12.45812 +/- 0.00019d。我们<Bz>从Ha和H β系的核心测量。对测量结果的分析<Bz>表明,没有证据表明HD 24712的大气中存在显著的径向磁场梯度。我们使用我们的<Bz>和净线性极化测量来确定偶极磁场拓扑的参数。我们发现,磁观测值可以合理地很好地再现偶极模型。我们发现了旋转调制的H α核心和相关的稀土元素的非均匀表面分布。

英文摘要:

High-resolution spectropolarimetric observations provide simultaneous information about stellar magnetic field topologies and three-dimensional distributions of chemical elements. Here we present analysis of a unique full Stokes vector spectropolarimetric data set, acquired for the cool magnetic Ap star HD 24712. The goal of our work is to examine circular and linear polarization signatures inside spectral lines and to study variation of the stellar spectrum and magnetic observables as a function of rotational phase. HD 24712 was observed with the HARPSpol instrument at the 3.6-m ESO telescope over a period of 2010-2011. The resulting spectra have S/N ratio of 300-600 and resolving power exceeding 100000. The multiline technique of least-squares deconvolution (LSD) was applied to combine information from the spectral lines of Fe-peak and rare-earth elements. We used the HARPSPol spectra of HD 24712 to study the morphology of the Stokes profile shapes in individual spectral lines and in LSD Stokes profiles corresponding to different line masks. From the LSD Stokes V profiles we measured the longitudinal component of the magnetic field, <Bz>, with an accuracy of 5-10 G. We also determined the net linear polarization from the LSD Stokes Q and U profiles. We determined an improved rotational period of the star, P_rot = 12.45812 +/- 0.00019d. We measured <Bz> from the cores of Halpha and Hbeta lines. The analysis of <Bz> measurements showed no evidence for a significant radial magnetic field gradient in the atmosphere of HD 24712. We used our <Bz> and net linear polarization measurements to determine parameters of the dipolar magnetic field topology. We found that magnetic observables can be reasonably well reproduced by the dipolar model. We discovered rotational modulation of the Halpha core and related it a non-uniform surface distribution of rare-earth elements.
