金属度相关的T-tau关系对恒星模型的影响

The Effect of Metallicity-Dependent T-tau Relations on Calibrated Stellar Models

Joel D. Tanner, Sarbani Basu, Pierre Demarque

摘要:

混合长度理论是当今恒星模型中对流的主要处理方法。通常用一个自由参数α来描述,通常的做法是使用太阳的性质来校准它,并将其应用于所有其他恒星模型。来自开普勒和CoRoT的天文地震数据提供了其他恒星的精确特性,也可以用来确定α,最近对开普勒视野中恒星的研究发现α随金属丰度而变化。然而,解释从校准的恒星模型获得的α是复杂的,因为α的值取决于恒星模型的表面边界条件,或T-tau关系。使用典型的T-tau关系的校准模型是静态的,对化学成分不敏感,不包括金属丰度对α的完整影响。我们使用3D辐射流体动力学模拟提取金属依赖的T-tau关系,并将其用于校准的恒星模型。我们发现以前报道的α-金属丰度的趋势是强大的,并没有显着的恒星模型的表面边界条件的影响。

英文摘要:

Mixing length theory is the predominant treatment of convection in stellar models today. Usually described by a single free parameter, alpha, the common practice is to calibrate it using the properties of the Sun, and apply it to all other stellar models as well. Asteroseismic data from Kepler and CoRoT provide precise properties of other stars which can be used to determine alpha as well, and a recent study of stars in the Kepler field of view found alpha to vary with metallicity. Interpreting alpha obtained from calibrated stellar models, however, is complicated by the fact that the value for alpha depends on the surface boundary condition of the stellar model, or T-tau relation. Calibrated models that use typical T-tau relations, which are static and insensitive to chemical composition, do not include the complete effect of metallicity on alpha. We use 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations to extract metallicity-dependent T-tau relations and use them in calibrated stellar models. We find the previously reported alpha-metallicity trend to be robust, and not significantly affected by the surface boundary condition of the stellar models.
