Florian Gallet, Jérôme Bouvier

摘要:

我们提出了新的模型之间的1万年和10 Gyr的类似太阳的恒星的旋转演化的目的是再现旋转周期的分布观察到的恒星形成区和年轻的疏散星团在这个年龄范围内。该模型包括一个新的风制动法的基础上,最近的数值模拟磁化恒星风和特定的发电机和质量损失的处方是通过捆绑角动量损失的角速度。该模型还假设恒定的角速度在磁盘吸积阶段,并允许辐射核心和对流信封之间的解耦,只要前者的发展。我们已经开发了旋转演化模型的缓慢,中位数和快速旋转的初始周期分别为10,7和1.4天。该模型再现合理以及1万年和4.5 Gyr之间的太阳型恒星的旋转行为,包括PMS到ZAMS自旋,提示ZAMS自旋下降,和早期MS收敛的表面旋转速率。我们发现模型参数占慢和中位数旋转是非常相似的彼此,与磁盘的寿命为5万年和28-30万年的核心包络耦合时标。相比之下,快速转子有更短的磁盘寿命(2.5百万年)和核心-包络耦合时标(12百万年)。我们强调,这些结果是高度依赖于所采用的制动法。我们还报告了初步的初始旋转周期和磁盘寿命之间的相关性,这表明,原恒星自旋大规模磁盘在嵌入阶段是在起源的初始分散的旋转速率在年轻的恒星。我们的结论是,这类半经验模型成功地掌握了太阳型恒星的旋转行为的主要趋势,因为它们的演变,并作出具体的预测,可以作为进一步发展的指导。

英文摘要:

We present new models for the rotational evolution of solar-like stars between 1 Myr and 10 Gyr with the aim to reproduce the distributions of rotational periods observed for star forming regions and young open clusters within this age range. The models include a new wind braking law based on recent numerical simulations of magnetized stellar winds and specific dynamo and mass-loss prescriptions are adopted to tie angular momentum loss to angular velocity. The model additionally assume constant angular velocity during the disk accretion phase and allow for decoupling between the radiative core and the convective envelope as soon as the former develops. We have developed rotational evolution models for slow, median and fast rotators with initial periods of 10, 7, and 1.4d, respectively. The models reproduce reasonably well the rotational behaviour of solar-type stars between 1 Myr and 4.5 Gyr, including PMS to ZAMS spin up, prompt ZAMS spin down, and the early-MS convergence of surface rotation rates. We find the model parameters accounting for the slow and median rotators are very similar to each other, with a disk lifetime of 5 Myr and a core-envelope coupling timescale of 28-30 Myr. In contrast, fast rotators have both shorter disk lifetime (2.5 Myr) and core-envelope coupling timescale (12 Myr). We emphasize that these results are highly dependent on the adopted braking law. We also report a tentative correlation between initial rotational period and disk lifetime, which suggests that protostellar spin-down by massive disks in the embedded phase is at the origin of the initial dispersion of rotation rates in young stars. We conclude that this class of semi-empirical models successfully grasp the main trends of the rotational behaviour of solar-type stars as they evolve and make specific predictions that may serve as a guide for further development.
