O星中由于线驱动风不稳定性和风覆盖引起的光变化

Light variations due to the line-driven wind instability and wind blanketing in O stars

J. Krticka, A. Feldmeier

摘要:

热恒星发出的辐射通量的一小部分被它们的风吸收,并重新分布到更长的波长。这种效应也导致恒星光球层的加热,称为风覆盖。对于具有可变风的恒星,风覆盖效应可能导致光度变化。我们研究了线驱动风不稳定性和风覆盖对O星光变的影响。我们结合风流体动力学模拟和全球风模型的结果来预测热星由于风覆盖和不稳定性的光变。风的不稳定性导致随机光变的振幅的顺序为几十个毫米级和一个典型的时间尺度的顺序为小时的空间相干风结构。当假设风由大量独立的同心圆锥体组成时,振幅为毫米级。使用目前的空间光度计可以观察到这种幅度的变化。我们表明,模拟的光变曲线是类似的O星的光变曲线使用BRITE和CoRoT卫星。

英文摘要:

A small fraction of the radiative flux emitted by hot stars is absorbed by their winds and redistributed towards longer wavelengths. This effect, which leads also to the heating of the stellar photosphere, is termed wind blanketing. For stars with variable winds, the effect of wind blanketing may lead to the photometric variability. We have studied the consequences of line driven wind instability and wind blanketing for the light variability of O stars. We combined the results of wind hydrodynamic simulations and of global wind models to predict the light variability of hot stars due to the wind blanketing and instability. The wind instability causes stochastic light variability with amplitude of the order of tens of millimagnitudes and a typical timescale of the order of hours for spatially coherent wind structure. The amplitude is of the order of millimagnitudes when assuming that the wind consists of large number of independent concentric cones. The variability with such amplitude is observable using present space borne photometers. We show that the simulated light curve is similar to the light curves of O stars obtained using BRITE and CoRoT satellites.
