用开普勒太空望远镜观测变星

Variable stars with the Kepler space telescope

László Molnár, Róbert Szabó, Emese Plachy

摘要:

开普勒太空望远镜彻底改变了我们对系外行星和恒星的认识,并将继续在K2任务中发挥作用。精密的测光精度,加上长时间不间断的观测,为研究恒星的结构和演化开辟了新的途径。研究恒星振荡的天文地震学使我们能够研究类似太阳的恒星,并窥视红巨星和大质量恒星的内部。但是关于经典变星也有许多发现,从造父变星和天琴座RR型变星到食双星和激变变星,甚至超新星。在这篇评论中,这是远远没有一个详尽的总结与开普勒获得的所有结果,我们收集了一些最有趣的发现,并思考在这个恒星天体物理学的黄金时代的业余观测者的作用。

英文摘要:

The Kepler space telescope has revolutionised our knowledge about exoplanets and stars and is continuing to do so in the K2 mission. The exquisite photometric precision, together with the long, uninterrupted observations opened up a new way to investigate the structure and evolution of stars. Asteroseismology, the study of stellar oscillations, allowed us to investigate solar-like stars and to peer into the insides of red giants and massive stars. But many discoveries have been made about classical variable stars too, ranging from pulsators like Cepheids and RR Lyraes to eclipsing binary stars and cataclysmic variables, and even supernovae. In this review, which is far from an exhaustive summary of all results obtained with Kepler, we collected some of the most interesting discoveries, and ponder on the role for amateur observers in this golden era of stellar astrophysics.
