Recent asteroseismic advances have allowed for direct measurements of the internal rotation rates of many sub-giant and red giant stars. Unlike the nearly rigidly rotating Sun, these evolved stars contain radiative cores that spin faster than their overlying convective envelopes, but slower than they would in the absence of internal angular momentum transport. We investigate the role of internal gravity waves in angular momentum transport in evolving low mass stars. In agreement with previous results, we find that convectively excited gravity waves can prevent the development of strong differential rotation in the radiative cores of Sun-like stars. As stars evolve into sub-giants, however, low frequency gravity waves become strongly attenuated and cannot propagate below the hydrogen burning shell, allowing the spin of the core to decouple from the convective envelope. This decoupling occurs at the base of the sub-giant branch when stars have surface temperatures of roughly 5500 K. However, gravity waves can still spin down the upper radiative region, implying that the observed differential rotation is likely confined to the deep core near the hydrogen burning shell. The torque on the upper radiative region may also prevent the core from accreting high-angular momentum material and slow the rate of core spin-up. The observed spin-down of cores on the red giant branch cannot be totally attributed to gravity waves, but the waves may enhance shear within the radiative region and thus increase the efficacy of viscous/magnetic torques.

具有太阳金属丰度的大质量恒星通过它们的风失去了大量的旋转角动量。当恒星表面存在磁场时,即使质量损失率非常小,在较低的金属丰度或较低初始质量的恒星中,仍然可以实现有效的角动量损失。在密近双星系统中,风磁制动的作用还与潮汐的影响相互作用,导致旋转的复杂演化。研究了密近双星系统中风磁制动过程与潮汐的相互作用。利用Geneva恒星演化程序,讨论了一颗10 M $_\odot$星与一颗7 M $_\odot$伴星组成的密近双星系统的演化.初始轨道周期为1.2天。10 M的$_\odot$恒星表面的磁场为1 kG。考虑了各种初始旋转。我们使用两种不同的方法为内部角动量输运。在其中之一,角动量是通过剪切流和纬向流传输的。在另一种情况下,一个强的内部磁场会使固体产生近乎完美的旋转。计算初级的演化,直到第一次传质事件发生。简要讨论了不同的磁场值和不同的轨道周期和质量比的情况。我们表明,独立的初始旋转速率的主要和内部角动量传输的效率,表面旋转的主要将收敛,在一个时间是短的主序列的寿命,朝着一个缓慢发展的速度,是不同的同步速度。(节略)。

多亏了星震学,数百颗处于演化阶段的中低质量恒星的核心自转速率受到了限制。目前在恒星演化模型中测试的物理过程不能再现这些核心旋转速率的演化。我们调查的内部角动量重新分配的效率在红巨星氢壳和核心氦燃烧阶段的基础上,其核心的自转速率的小行星地震测定。我们计算恒星演化模型的旋转和模型的角动量的输运的唯一主导的扩散过程参数化的额外的粘度的行动。我们限制这个粘度的值,以匹配红巨星的平均核心旋转速率和他们的行为与质量和演化沿红巨星分支和红团。对于处于氢壳燃烧阶段的红巨星,角动量的传输在质量更大的恒星中必须更有效。发现附加粘度在质量范围M $\sim$ 1 - 2.5 M $_{\odot}$内变化大约两个数量级。当恒星沿着红巨星分支演化时,低质量恒星(M $\lesssim$ 2 M $_{\odot}$)的角动量内部传输效率必须增加,而稍高质量恒星(2.0 M $_{\odot}$ $\lesssim$ M $\lesssim$ 2.5 M $_{\odot}$)的角动量内部传输效率必须保持大致恒定。在红团恒星中,额外的粘性必须比类似质量的年轻红巨星在氢壳燃烧阶段高一个数量级。结合以前的努力,我们得到了一个清晰的画面,在恒星内部的物理过程中应如何重新分配角动量从年底的主要序列,直到核心氦燃烧阶段的低和中等质量的恒星,以满足asteroseic约束。

Constraining the efficiency of angular momentum transport with asteroseismology of red giants: the effect of stellar mass
背景:由于对星震的观测,现在可以获得红巨星内部旋转的限制。与旋转恒星模型的初步比较表明,一个未确定的额外的过程,除了纯粹的流体动力学过程的角动量的内部传输是必需的。目的:我们研究红巨星的星震测量如何帮助我们描述额外的传输机制。研究方法:我们首先确定的低质量红巨星KIC 7341231通过计算旋转模型,包括一个额外的粘度对应于这个过程中的缺失的传输机制的效率。然后,我们讨论了这种角动量的传输效率的质量,金属丰度和演化阶段的变化。结果如下:在低质量红巨星KIC 7341231的情况下,我们发现对应于附加机制的粘度被限制在1 x 10^3 - 1.3 x 10^4 cm ^2/s的范围内。这种约束的效率未知的额外的运输机制在主序后独立于任何具体的假设,在主序前和主序(特别是,制动的表面磁化风和效率的内部运输的角动量之前的主序阶段)的旋转效应的建模。当我们假设在恒星的整个演化过程中,附加的输运机制都在起作用,同时太阳校准的磁化风对表面的制动也在起作用时,nu_add的范围就缩小到1 ~ 4 x 10^3 cm ^2/s。除了对恒星的演化阶段敏感之外,我们还表明,角动量内部传输的未知过程的效率随着恒星质量的增加而增加。
