摘要:

上下文虽然自转对恒星的结构和演化有重大影响,但其影响还没有得到很好的理解。由于最近的太空任务获得了高质量和长时基的光度观测,我们现在能够更精确地研究恒星的旋转。目标。我们的目标是约束径向差分旋转伽玛Doradus(伽玛多尔)恒星的配置文件,并开发新的理论地震诊断,这种恒星的快速和潜在的非均匀旋转。方法.我们推导了一个新的渐近描述,它解释了弱微分近核旋转对引力模周期间隔的影响。的理论预测说明从脉动计算代码GYRE和伽马Dor星的观测相比。在可能的情况下,我们还通过检测和分析旋转调制的签名来获得这些恒星的表面旋转速率,并计算核心到表面的旋转比。结果恒星的自转必须有很强的差异,才能检测到它对周期间隔模式的影响,除非可以比较多个周期间隔模式。我们样本中的六颗恒星表现出一种无法解释的逆行模式周期间隔模式。我们假设这些是柳井的模式。最后,我们发现八个目标的光度数据的旋转点调制的签名。结论.如果一颗恒星只有一个周期间隔图案被检测和分析,则很难检测到差异旋转。一个刚性旋转的模型通常会提供最佳的解决方案。只有当一颗恒星的多个周期间隔模式被发现,或者它的表面自转速率也被知道时,才能检测到差异自转。在我们的样本中,有八颗恒星的情况就是如此,它们的表面与核心的旋转比在0.95到1.05之间。

英文摘要:

Context. While rotation has a major impact on stellar structure and evolution, its effects are not well understood. Thanks to high- quality and long timebase photometric observations obtained with recent space missions, we are now able to study stellar rotation more precisely. Aims. We aim to constrain radial differential rotation profiles in gamma Doradus (gamma Dor) stars, and to develop new theoretical seismic diagnosis for such stars with rapid and potentially non-uniform rotation. Methods. We derive a new asymptotic description which accounts for the impact of weak differential near-core rotation on gravity- mode period spacings. The theoretical predictions are illustrated from pulsation computations with the code GYRE and compared with observations of gamma Dor stars. When possible, we also derive the surface rotation rates in these stars by detecting and analysing signatures of rotational modulation, and compute the core-to-surface rotation ratios. Results. Stellar rotation has to be strongly differential before its effects on period spacing patterns can be detected, unless multiple period spacing patterns can be compared. Six stars in our sample exhibit a single unexplained period spacing pattern of retrograde modes. We hypothesise that these are Yanai modes. Finally, we find signatures of rotational spot modulation in the photometric data of eight targets. Conclusions. If only one period spacing pattern is detected and analysed for a star, it is difficult to detect differential rotation. A rigidly rotating model will often provide the best solution. Differential rotation can only be detected when multiple period spacing patterns have been found for a single star or its surface rotation rate is known as well. This is the case for eight stars in our sample, revealing surface-to-core rotation ratios between 0.95 and 1.05.
