摘要:

热磁化学特殊星的光变是由特殊丰度点的通量重新分布引起的。这就提出了一个问题,为什么一些表面有丰度点的恒星会显示出显着的旋转光变,而另一些则没有。我们研究的Bp星HD 64740调查其显着的氦和硅的表面分布的不均匀性,以及相应的强可变性的许多谱线,可以导致最微弱的光度变化之间的Bp星。我们使用模型大气和合成光谱计算的硅和氦丰度从表面丰度图预测的紫外线和可见光和线的变化HD 64740。预测的通量和线轮廓进行了比较与观测的IUE,HST,和依巴谷卫星和使用FEROS摄谱仪在2.2米MPG/ESO望远镜获得的光谱。我们能够重现观察到的HD 64740的可见光变曲线,假设铁的不均匀分布与硅的分布相关。紫外线中的光的变化是很难检测到的。我们检测到的碳,硅和铝的许多紫外线的变化,并讨论这些线的起源和它们的变化的性质。氦和硅的最大丰度不足以引起显著的光变化。许多紫外线的检测到的变化是最有可能的大气起源,并反映了不均匀的元素表面分布。Civ共振谱线的变化性较强,这可能是由于风的质量损失率对化学成分和磁场方向的依赖性。我们还没能探测到困在星周云里的物质的清晰信号。

英文摘要:

The light variability of hot magnetic chemically peculiar stars is typically caused by the flux redistribution in spots with peculiar abundance. This raises the question why some stars with surface abundance spots show significant rotational light variability, while others do not. We study the Bp star HD 64740 to investigate how its remarkable inhomogeneities in the surface distribution of helium and silicon, and the corresponding strong variability of many spectral lines, can result in one of the faintest photometric variabilities among the Bp stars. We used model atmospheres and synthetic spectra calculated for the silicon and helium abundances from surface abundance maps to predict the ultraviolet and visual light and line variability of HD 64740. The predicted fluxes and line profiles were compared with the observed ones derived with the IUE, HST, and Hipparcos satellites and with spectra acquired using the FEROS spectrograph at the 2.2m MPG/ESO telescope. We are able to reproduce the observed visual light curve of HD 64740 assuming an inhomogeneous distribution of iron correlated with silicon distribution. The light variations in the ultraviolet are hardly detectable. We detect the variability of many ultraviolet lines of carbon, silicon, and aluminium and discuss the origin of these lines and the nature of their variations. The maximum abundances of helium and silicon are not high enough to cause significant light variations. The detected variability of many ultraviolet lines is most likely of atmospheric origin and reflects the inhomogeneous elemental surface distribution. The variability of the Civ resonance lines is stronger and it probably results from the dependence of the wind mass-loss rate on the chemical composition and magnetic field orientation. We have not been able to detect a clear signature of the matter trapped in the circumstellar clouds.
