脉冲红巨星的振幅变化。II。一些系统学

Amplitude Variations in Pulsating Red Giants. II. Some Systematics

John R. Percy, Jennifer Laing

摘要:

为了扩展我们以前的研究的原因不明的现象周期性振幅变化的脉动红巨星,我们使用了AAVSO时间序列分析软件包VSTAR分析长期AAVSO视觉观测的50颗这样的恒星,主要是Mira星。在我们的样本中,相对变化量(通常为1.5倍)和变化的时间尺度(通常为20-35个脉动周期)在长周期、短周期和碳星中没有显著差异,它们也发生在周期长期变化的恒星中,可能是由于热脉冲。变化的时间尺度与小振幅SR变星相似,但相对变化量在小振幅恒星中似乎更大,因此更明显。振幅变化的原因仍然未知。

英文摘要:

In order to extend our previous studies of the unexplained phenomenon of cyclic amplitude variations in pulsating red giants, we have used the AAVSO time-series analysis package VSTAR to analyze long-term AAVSO visual observations of 50 such stars, mostly Mira stars. The relative amount of the variation, typically a factor of 1.5, and the time scale of the variation, typically 20-35 pulsation periods, are not significantly different in longer-period, shorter-period, and carbon stars in our sample, and they also occur in stars whose period is changing secularly, perhaps due to a thermal pulse. The time scale of the variations is similar to that in smaller-amplitude SR variables, but the relative amount of the variation appears to be larger in smaller-amplitude stars, and is therefore more conspicuous. The cause of the amplitude variations remains unknown.
