摘要:

特定的诊断工具可以通过小的对流核心的存在来隔离在振荡频率上留下的签名。它们的频率导数有望提供有关对流核性质和恒星年龄的信息。这项工作的主要目标是研究潜在的诊断工具方面的推断恒星的年龄和恒星核心的属性。为此,我们计算了诊断工具和它们的频率导数的振荡频率的主序列模型与质量之间的1.0和$1.6\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$和不同的物理。我们考虑了诊断工具对恒星年龄和对流不稳定区域边缘声速平方相对不连续性的大小的依赖性。我们发现,诊断工具的频率导数的绝对值的增加,作为恒星的主序列上的演变。质量为$>1.2\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$的模型的恒星主序星演化的分数可以从两个诊断工具的频率导数估计。对于较低质量的模型,对流核心的超调的约束,可以潜在地推导出相同的衍生物的分析的基础上。对于至少35%的恒星模型样本,诊断工具的频率导数在预期可能观测到振荡的频率范围内取其最大绝对值。

英文摘要:

Particular diagnostic tools may isolate the signature left on the oscillation frequencies by the presence of a small convective core. Their frequency derivative is expected to provide information about convective core's properties and stellar age. The main goal of this work is to study the potential of the diagnostic tools with regards to the inference of stellar age and stellar core's properties. For that, we computed diagnostic tools and their frequency derivatives from the oscillation frequencies of main-sequence models with masses between 1.0 and $1.6\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$ and with different physics. We considered the dependence of the diagnostic tools on stellar age and on the size of the relative discontinuity in the squared sound speed at the edge of the convectively unstable region. We find that the absolute value of the frequency derivatives of the diagnostic tools increases as the star evolves on the main sequence. The fraction of stellar main-sequence evolution for models with masses $>1.2\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$ may be estimated from the frequency derivatives of two of the diagnostic tools. For lower mass models, constraints on the convective core's overshoot can potentially be derived based on the analysis of the same derivatives. For at least 35 per cent of our sample of stellar models the frequency derivative of the diagnostic tools takes its maximum absolute value on the frequency range where observed oscillations may be expected.
