摘要:

我们提出了一个新的工具,用于建立合成色星等图的同时代的恒星星族。我们研究,从理论的角度来看,恒星的轴向旋转的影响,对各种观察到的性能的单年龄恒星星族:在关闭的幅度,光度特性的演变恒星,表面速度,表面丰度,和旋转的影响,年龄测定的集群的等时线拟合。不同的初始质量,金属丰度,和零年龄的主序列(ZAMS)的旋转速度的恒星模型被用来建立内插恒星轨道,等时线,和合成集群的各种年龄和金属丰度。合成人口占ZAMS的旋转速度的初始分布的影响,倾角的影响和重力和临边昏暗,未解决的二进制和光度误差的影响。内插轨迹、等时线和合成簇可以通过公共网络界面计算。对于金属丰度在[0.002,0.014]范围内,年龄在30万年和1 Gyr之间的星系团,在主序列(MS)带上的快旋子的比例是最大的,就在关闭的下方。这是由于旋转而增加MS寿命的自然结果。在3000万年和1千兆年之间,快旋星的比例也随着星团年龄的增加而增加。当金属丰度降低时,富集恒星的比例会增加。我们表明,使用的等时线计算旋转恒星模型的初始旋转,这是代表的平均初始旋转的恒星在集群提供了一个合理的估计年龄,即使在一个真正的集群中的恒星没有开始他们的演化与相同的初始旋转。

英文摘要:

(abridged) We present a new tool for building synthetic colour-magnitude diagrams of coeval stellar populations. We study, from a theoretical point of view, the impact of axial rotation of stars on various observed properties of single-aged stellar populations: magnitude at the turnoff, photometric properties of evolved stars, surface velocities, surface abundances, and the impact of rotation on the age determination of clusters by an isochrone fitting. Stellar models for different initial masses, metallicities, and zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) rotational velocities are used for building interpolated stellar tracks, isochrones, and synthetic clusters for various ages and metallicities. The synthetic populations account for the effects of the initial distribution of the rotational velocities on the ZAMS, the impact of the inclination angle and the effects of gravity and limb darkening, unresolved binaries and photometric errors. Interpolated tracks, isochrones, and synthetic clusters can be computed through a public web interface. For clusters with a metallicity in the range [0.002, 0.014] and an age between 30 Myr and 1 Gyr, the fraction of fast rotators on the main sequence (MS) band is the largest just below the turnoff. This is a natural consequence of the increase in the MS lifetime due to rotation. The fraction of fast rotators one magnitude below the turnoff also increases with the age of the cluster between 30 Myr and 1 Gyr. There is an increase in the fraction of enriched stars when the metallicity decreases. We show that the use of isochrones computed from rotating stellar models with an initial rotation that is representative of the average initial rotation of the stars in clusters provides a reasonable estimate of the age, even though stars in a real cluster did not start their evolution with an identical initial rotation.
