把我传送上去,斑点:对大质量恒星光球物理学的新理解
Beam me up, Spotty: Toward a new understanding of the physics of massive star photospheres
摘要:
30年来,OB星的周期性风变一直困扰着天文学界。涉及同向旋转亮点的现象学模型为观察到的变化提供了一个潜在的解释,但其背后的物理机制仍然未知。我们提出了最近的结果,从流体动力学模拟约束亮点的属性,并比较它们可以推断出从空间为基础的测光。我们还探讨了这些斑点是由磁场引起的可能性,并讨论了这些领域的可探测性。
英文摘要:
For 30 years, cyclical wind variability in OB stars has puzzled the astronomical community. Phenomenological models involving co-rotating bright spots provide a potential explanation for the observed variations, but the underlying physics remains unknown. We present recent results from hydrodynamical simulations constraining bright spot properties and compare them to what can be inferred from space-based photometry. We also explore the possibility that these spots are caused by magnetic fields and discuss the detectability of such fields.
