天鹅座RV Tau型脉动星DF的周期性:开普勒数据与地面观测的结合

Periodicities of the RV Tau-type pulsating star DF Cygni: a combination of Kepler data with ground-based observations

A. Bódi, K. Szatmáry, L. L. Kiss

摘要:

金牛座RV恒星是银河系中一小群经典脉动恒星,已知成员有几十个。光的变化主要是由脉动引起的,但仅仅这些并不能解释光变曲线的全部复杂性。RV Tau型星的高质量测光是非常罕见的。天鹅座DF星是这类恒星中唯一在原始开普勒视野中的成员,因此可以对金牛座RV星进行迄今为止最精确的测光研究。其主要目标是通过将四年的高质量开普勒测光与美国变星观测者协会收集的近半个世纪的视觉数据相结合,分析金牛座RV型恒星天鹅座DF的周期性。开普勒四分之一的数据被拼接在一起,以尽量减少空间数据的系统影响。平均水平与AAVSO的目视数据相匹配。这两个数据集已提交傅立叶和小波分析,而主要脉动的稳定性进行了研究,与O-C方法和随时间变化的振幅的分析。天鹅座DF在所有时间尺度上都表现出非常丰富的行为。慢变周期为779.606 d,在整个组合数据的时间跨度内具有显著的相干性。在长期周期的顶部,出现了周期为24.925 d的脉动。这两种类型的光的变化显着波动的时间,不断变化的相互作用的振幅和相位调制。长周期变化(即RVb信号)有点类似于脉动红巨星的长次级周期(LSP)现象,而短周期脉动则非常类似于造父变星。将脉动模式与最新的II型造父变星模型进行比较,我们发现了在开普勒光变曲线中直接观察到的强烈非线性效应的证据。

英文摘要:

The RV Tauri stars constitute a small group of classical pulsating stars with some dozen known members in the Milky Way. The light variation is caused predominantly by pulsations, but these alone do not explain the full complexity of the light curves. High quality photometry of RV Tau-type stars is very rare. DF Cygni is the only member of this class of stars in the original Kepler field, hence allowing the most accurate photometric investigation of an RV Tauri star to date. The main goal is to analyse the periodicities of the RV Tauri-type star DF Cygni by combining four years of high-quality Kepler photometry with almost half a century of visual data collected by the American Association of Variable Star Observers. Kepler quarters of data have been stitched together to minimize the systematic effects of the space data. The mean levels have been matched with the AAVSO visual data. Both datasets have been submitted to Fourier and wavelet analyses, while the stability of the main pulsations has been studied with the O-C method and the analysis of the time-dependent amplitudes. DF Cygni shows a very rich behaviour on all time-scales. The slow variation has a period of 779.606 d and it has been remarkably coherent during the whole time-span of the combined data. On top of the long-term cycles the pulsations appear with a period of 24.925 d. Both types of light variation significantly fluctuate in time, with a constantly changing interplay of amplitude and phase modulations. The long-period change (i.e. the RVb signature) somewhat resembles the Long Secondary Period (LSP) phenomenon of the pulsating red giants, whereas the short-period pulsations are very similar to those of the Cepheid variables. Comparing the pulsation patterns with the latest models of Type-II Cepheids, we found evidence of strong non-linear effects directly observable in the Kepler light curve.
