恒星大气、大气扩展和基本参数：用恒星质量指数称量恒星
Stellar atmospheres, atmospheric extension and fundamental parameters: weighing stars using the stellar mass index
摘要：
理解恒星的最大挑战之一是测量它们的质量。测量恒星质量的最好方法包括双星相互作用、星震学和恒星演化模型，但这些方法对红巨星和超巨星并不理想。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种新的方法来推断恒星质量的演化红巨星和超巨星使用干涉和分光光度观测相结合的球形模型恒星大气测量我们所谓的恒星质量指数，定义为恒星半径和质量之间的比率。该方法是基于角直径的不同测量值之间的相关性，用作大气扩展的代理，和基本的恒星参数。对于一个给定的恒星，分光光度法测量罗斯兰角直径，而干涉测量通常探测更大的边缘变暗的角直径。这两个角直径的比率与恒星大气的相对延伸成正比，而恒星大气的相对延伸与恒星的有效温度、半径和质量密切相关。我们表明，这些相关性很强，可以导致恒星质量的精确测量。
英文摘要：
One of the great challenges in understanding stars is measuring their masses. The best methods for measuring stellar masses include binary interaction, asteroseismology and stellar evolution models, but these methods are not ideal for red giant and supergiant stars. In this work, we propose a novel method for inferring stellar masses of evolved red giant and supergiant stars using interferometric and spectrophotometric observations combined with spherical model stellar atmospheres to measure what we call the stellar mass index, defined as the ratio between the stellar radius and mass. The method is based on the correlation between different measurements of angular diameter, used as a proxy for atmospheric extension, and fundamental stellar parameters. For a given star, spectrophotometry measures the Rosseland angular diameter while interferometric observations generally probe a larger limb-darkened angular diameter. The ratio of these two angular diameters is proportional to the relative extension of the stellar atmosphere, which is strongly correlated to the star's effective temperature, radius and mass. We show that these correlations are strong and can lead to precise measurements of stellar masses.
