摘要:

金属丰度对恒星颗粒活动的影响仍然知之甚少。更新后的APOGEE-\textit{Kepler}目录中的可用光谱参数,加上美国宇航局\textit{Kepler}任务跨越四年多的观测的高精度光度观测,使得疏散星团中的振荡红巨星成为关键的试验台。我们通过区分金属丰度对恒星米粒活动的影响与不同恒星性质(例如表面重力、质量和温度)的影响来确定金属丰度对恒星米粒活动的作用。我们分析了60颗已知的红巨星,它们属于疏散星团NGC 6791、NGC 6819和NGC 6811,金属丰度范围从[Fe/H] $\simeq -0.09$到$0.32$。通过考虑不同的质量、金属丰度和恒星演化阶段,研究了描述这些恒星及其$ν_\mathrm{max}$颗粒化活动的参数。我们推导出新的尺度关系的造粒活动,重新校准现有的,并确定最佳的尺度关系,从现有的一组观测。我们采用贝叶斯程序DIAMONDS对恒星的傅里叶谱中的背景信号进行分析。我们进行了贝叶斯参数估计和模型比较,以测试在这项工作中提出的不同的模型假设和文献。金属丰度的原因在统计上显着的变化幅度的造粒活动,与依赖性强于由恒星质量和表面重力。我们还发现,金属丰度有一个显着的影响,相应的时间尺度的现象。金属丰度对时间尺度的影响大于质量。较高的金属丰度增加了颗粒和中颗粒信号的振幅,并减慢了它们的特征时间尺度向更长的周期。

英文摘要:

The effect of metallicity on the granulation activity in stars is still poorly understood. Available spectroscopic parameters from the updated APOGEE-\textit{Kepler} catalog, coupled with high-precision photometric observations from NASA's \textit{Kepler} mission spanning more than four years of observation, make oscillating red giant stars in open clusters crucial testbeds. We determine the role of metallicity on the stellar granulation activity by discriminating its effect from that of different stellar properties such as surface gravity, mass, and temperature. We analyze 60 known red giant stars belonging to the open clusters NGC 6791, NGC 6819, and NGC 6811, spanning a metallicity range from [Fe/H] $\simeq -0.09$ to $0.32$. The parameters describing the granulation activity of these stars and their $ν_\mathrm{max}$, are studied by considering the different masses, metallicities, and stellar evolutionary stages. We derive new scaling relations for the granulation activity, re-calibrate existing ones, and identify the best scaling relations from the available set of observations. We adopted the Bayesian code DIAMONDS for the analysis of the background signal in the Fourier spectra of the stars. We performed a Bayesian parameter estimation and model comparison to test the different model hypotheses proposed in this work and in the literature. Metallicity causes a statistically significant change in the amplitude of the granulation activity, with a dependency stronger than that induced by both stellar mass and surface gravity. We also find that the metallicity has a significant impact on the corresponding time scales of the phenomenon. The effect of metallicity on the time scale is stronger than that of mass. A higher metallicity increases the amplitude of granulation and meso-granulation signals and slows down their characteristic time scales toward longer periods.
