增强的铁不透明度对大质量恒星脉动的影响:更新的不稳定性条带

The Impact of Enhanced Iron Opacity on Massive Star Pulsations: Updated Instability Strips

Ehsan Moravveji

摘要:

最近,Bailey等人(2015)在太阳速跃层的物理条件下直接测量了铁不透明度。他们发现,波长积分的铁不透明度比OP和OPAL模型预测的高出约75%。在这里,我们计算新的不透明度表与增强铁和镍的贡献Rosseland平均不透明度的75%,并计算三个密集的MESA网格的银河系O-和B-型恒星的进化模型,从2.5到25 M $_\odot$从ZAMS,直到$T_{\rm eff}=10\,000$ K核心氢耗尽后。利用GYRE软件对非绝热模的稳定性进行了分析,更新了热驱动p模和g模双稳子以及混合脉动SPB - $β$ Cep星的不稳定带的扩展.我们比较了两个已证实的晚O型$β$ Cep和八个已证实的混合B型闪烁星与新的不稳定域的位置,并证明$\sim$ 75%的增强,仅在铁不透明度,是足够的一致再现观察到的位置,这些恒星的$\log T_{\rm eff}$与$\log g$平面。我们建议将这种不透明度的改善纳入新恒星模型的输入物理中。为了重现结果,所有软件、不透明度表和新的不稳定性条带都可以从以下URL免费下载:https://fys.kuleuven.be/ster/Projects/ASAMBA。

英文摘要:

Recently, Bailey et al. (2015) made a direct measurement of the Iron opacity at the physical conditions of the solar tachocline. They found that the wavelength-integrated Iron opacity is roughly 75% higher that what the OP and OPAL models predict. Here, we compute new opacity tables with enhanced Iron and Nickel contributions to the Rosseland mean opacity by 75% each, and compute three dense MESA grids of evolutionary models for Galactic O- and B-type stars covering from 2.5 to 25 M$_\odot$ from ZAMS until $T_{\rm eff}=10\,000$ K after the core hydrogen exhaustion. We carry out non-adiabatic mode stability analysis with GYRE, and update the extension of the instability strips of heat-driven p- and g-mode pulsators, and the hybrid pulsating SPB - $β$ Cep stars. We compare the position of two confirmed late O-type $β$ Cep and eight confirmed hybrid B-type pulsators with the new instability domains, and justify that $\sim$75% enhancement, only in Iron opacity, is sufficient to consistently reproduce the observed position of these stars on the $\log T_{\rm eff}$ versus $\log g$ plane. We propose that this improvement in opacities be incorporated in the input physics of new stellar models. To reproduce the results, all software, opacity tables and the new instability strips are freely available for download at the following URL: https://fys.kuleuven.be/ster/Projects/ASAMBA.
