摘要:

为了确定富氧渐近巨星分支(AGB)星的拱星信封中的尘埃的组成,我们计算了一个网格的modust辐射传输模型的尘埃成分,质量损失率,尘埃壳内半径和恒星参数的范围。我们比较由此产生的颜色与观察到的富氧AGB恒星从SAGE规范大麦云(LMC)样本,发现良好的整体协议的恒星中红外过剩。我们使用这些模型,以适应一个样本的37富O AGB星在LMC光学薄拱星信封,其中5 $-$ 35- $μ$ m斯皮策红外光谱仪(IRS)光谱和宽带测光从光学到中红外。从建模,我们发现在$\sim 8\times10^{-8}$的范围内的质量损失率$5\times10^{-6}$ M $_{\odot}\ \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$,我们表明,主要由无定形硅酸盐的颗粒混合物,与无定形氧化铝和金属铁的贡献提供了一个很好的拟合所观察到的光谱。此外,我们从尘埃模型中表明,AKARI [11] $-$ [15]与[3.2] $-$ [7]的颜色-颜色图,能够确定富O AGB星中氧化铝的丰度分数。

英文摘要:

In order to determine the composition of the dust in the circumstellar envelopes of oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars we have computed a grid of modust radiative-transfer models for a range of dust compositions, mass-loss rates, dust shell inner radii and stellar parameters. We compare the resulting colours with the observed oxygen-rich AGB stars from the SAGE-Spec Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) sample, finding good overall agreement for stars with a mid-infrared excess. We use these models to fit a sample of 37 O-rich AGB stars in the LMC with optically thin circumstellar envelopes, for which 5$-$35-$μ$m Spitzer infrared spectrograph (IRS) spectra and broadband photometry from the optical to the mid-infrared are available. From the modelling, we find mass-loss rates in the range $\sim 8\times10^{-8}$ to $5\times10^{-6}$ M$_{\odot}\ \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$, and we show that a grain mixture consisting primarily of amorphous silicates, with contributions from amorphous alumina and metallic iron provides a good fit to the observed spectra. Furthermore, we show from dust models that the AKARI [11]$-$[15] versus [3.2]$-$[7] colour-colour diagram, is able to determine the fractional abundance of alumina in O-rich AGB stars.
