摘要:

由于红巨星和超巨星的角尺寸和亮度很大,它们是光学长基线干涉仪的优先目标。在两年的时间里,VLTI/AMBER设施在K波段以中等光谱分辨率(R=1500)观测到了16颗红巨星和超巨星。根据恒星大气模型对可见度和三重积数据的拟合,得到了边缘变暗的角直径。角直径没有显示出任何显著的时间变化,除了一个目标:TX Psc,其使用可见度数据显示出4%的变化。对于先前通过长基线干涉术(LBI)在相同光谱范围内测量的八个目标,我们的直径与文献值之间的差异小于5%,除了TX Psc,其显示出11%的差异。对于其他8个目标,目前的角直径是首次从LBI测量。角直径,然后用来确定几个基本的恒星参数,并找到这些目标的赫兹-罗素图(HRD)。除了神秘的贫Tc低质量碳星W Ori,富Tc恒星在HRD中的位置与恒星演化模型预测的热脉动AGB非常匹配。对于周期的脉动恒星,我们计算脉动常数,并沿着周期-光度图中的各种序列定位恒星。我们确认增加质量沿脉动序列,预测的理论,除了W Ori,尽管质量较低,似乎有一个较长的周期比T Cet沿第一泛音序列。

英文摘要:

Thanks to their large angular dimension and brightness, red giants and supergiants are privileged targets for optical long-baseline interferometers. Sixteen red giants and supergiants have been observed with the VLTI/AMBER facility over a two-years period, at medium spectral resolution (R=1500) in the K band. The limb-darkened angular diameters are derived from fits of stellar atmospheric models on the visibility and the triple product data. The angular diameters do not show any significant temporal variation, except for one target: TX Psc, which shows a variation of 4% using visibility data. For the eight targets previously measured by Long-Baseline Interferometry (LBI) in the same spectral range, the difference between our diameters and the literature values is less than 5%, except for TX Psc, which shows a difference of 11%. For the 8 other targets, the present angular diameters are the first measured from LBI. Angular diameters are then used to determine several fundamental stellar parameters, and to locate these targets in the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (HRD). Except for the enigmatic Tc-poor low-mass carbon star W Ori, the location of Tc-rich stars in the HRD matches remarkably well the thermally-pulsating AGB, as it is predicted by the stellar-evolution models. For pulsating stars with periods available, we compute the pulsation constant and locate the stars along the various sequences in the Period -- Luminosity diagram. We confirm the increase in mass along the pulsation sequences, as predicted by the theory, except for W Ori which, despite being less massive, appears to have a longer period than T Cet along the first-overtone sequence.
