巨星地震学

Giant star seismology

S. Hekker, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard

摘要:

在红巨星阶段,恒星的内部性质在相对较短的时间尺度上会发生显着变化。来自专门空间任务(如CoRoT和开普勒)的长时间几乎不间断的高精度光度时间序列观测提供了大量演化恒星(包括红巨星)的全球和内部性质的地震推断。这些推论面临着理论模型的预测,以提高我们对恒星结构和演化的理解。使用这些地震推断,我们对红巨星的知识和理解确实大大增加了,我们预计更多的信息仍然隐藏在数据中。解开这个谜团将进一步提高我们对恒星演化的理解。这也将对我们对银河系以及系外行星宿主恒星的认识产生重大影响。后者对于我们理解行星系统的形成和结构非常重要。

英文摘要:

The internal properties of stars in the red-giant phase undergo significant changes on relatively short timescales. Long near-uninterrupted high-precision photometric timeseries observations from dedicated space missions such as CoRoT and Kepler have provided seismic inferences of the global and internal properties of a large number of evolved stars, including red giants. These inferences are confronted with predictions from theoretical models to improve our understanding of stellar structure and evolution. Our knowledge and understanding of red giants have indeed increased tremendously using these seismic inferences, and we anticipate that more information is still hidden in the data. Unraveling this will further improve our understanding of stellar evolution. This will also have significant impact on our knowledge of the Milky Way Galaxy as well as on exo-planet host stars. The latter is important for our understanding of the formation and structure of planetary systems.
