AGB星的全球三维辐射-流体动力学模型。对流和径向脉动对大气结构的影响

Global 3D radiation-hydrodynamics models of AGB stars. Effects of convection and radial pulsations on atmospheric structures

摘要:

内容:随着空间分辨率的提高,对渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星的观测揭示了各种尺度上大气过程复杂性的新层次。目的:为了分析导致观察到的图像中的不对称和表面结构的物理机制,我们使用详细的AGB星的3D动力学模拟;这些模拟自洽地描述对流和脉动。研究方法:我们使用的CO 5 BOLD辐射流体动力学代码,以产生一个探索性的网格的全球“星在一个盒子”模型的外部对流信封和AGB星的内部大气研究对流,脉动和冲击波及其对恒星和数值参数的依赖。结果如下:模型动力学是由长期的巨对流细胞,短寿命的表面颗粒,和强大的,径向,基模脉动的相互作用。径向脉动和较短波长的行波声波在大气中引起各种尺度的冲击。对流、波和冲击都对动力压力有贡献,因此,增加了恒星半径,并使物质悬浮到可以形成尘埃的层中。因此,由此产生的脉动周期和恒星半径的关系被转移到更大的半径相比,非线性的一维模型。脉动周期对光度的依赖关系与观测到的关系符合得很好。脉动模式与非定常对流的相互作用引起偶尔的振幅变化和相移。脉动的规律性随着重力的减小而减小,因为对流单体的相对尺寸增大。模型恒星没有明确的表面。相反,光是从一个非常广泛的不均匀的大气层发出的,具有复杂的动态图案的高对比度特征。

英文摘要:

Context: Observations of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with increasing spatial resolution reveal new layers of complexity of atmospheric processes on a variety of scales. Aim: To analyze the physical mechanisms that cause asymmetries and surface structures in observed images, we use detailed 3D dynamical simulations of AGB stars; these simulations self-consistently describe convection and pulsations. Methods: We used the CO5BOLD radiation-hydrodynamics code to produce an exploratory grid of global "star-in-a-box" models of the outer convective envelope and the inner atmosphere of AGB stars to study convection, pulsations, and shock waves and their dependence on stellar and numerical parameters. Results: The model dynamics are governed by the interaction of long-lasting giant convection cells, short-lived surface granules, and strong, radial, fundamental-mode pulsations. Radial pulsations and shorter wavelength, traveling, acoustic waves induce shocks on various scales in the atmosphere. Convection, waves, and shocks all contribute to the dynamical pressure and, thus, to an increase of the stellar radius and to a levitation of material into layers where dust can form. Consequently, the resulting relation of pulsation period and stellar radius is shifted toward larger radii compared to that of non-linear 1D models. The dependence of pulsation period on luminosity agrees well with observed relations. The interaction of the pulsation mode with the non-stationary convective flow causes occasional amplitude changes and phase shifts. The regularity of the pulsations decreases with decreasing gravity as the relative size of convection cells increases. The model stars do not have a well-defined surface. Instead, the light is emitted from a very extended inhomogeneous atmosphere with a complex dynamic pattern of high-contrast features.
