A. Chiavassa, B. Freytag, M. Schultheis

摘要:

上下文渐近巨星分支星的特点是复杂的恒星表面动力学,影响测量和放大恒星参数的不确定性。由此产生的恒星光心运动可能会对盖亚的视差测定产生不利影响。目标。我们探讨的对流相关的表面结构在AGB的光心变率的影响。我们量化这些影响来消除观测到的视差误差,并估计基本的恒星参数和动力学特性。方法.我们使用三维辐射流体动力学模拟对流与CO5BOLD和后处理辐射转移代码Optim3D计算强度图在盖亚G带。从这些地图,我们计算的强度加权平均值的所有发射点平铺可见恒星表面,并评估其运动作为时间的函数。我们提取的视差误差从盖亚DR2的半正规变量在太阳附近的样本,并将其与合成预测的照片中心位移。结果AGB星显示出复杂的表面形态,其特征在于存在一些大规模的长寿命对流细胞伴随着短寿命和小规模的结构。因此,视乎所考虑的模拟,光心的位置显示0.077至0.198天文单位(对应恒星半径的5%至11%)的时间偏移。我们发现,对流相关的变化占了很大一部分,我们的样本的半正则变量的盖亚DR2视差误差。最后,我们提出的证据之间的相关性的平均光心位移和恒星的基本参数:表面重力,半径和脉动。我们表示,视差变化可以利用定量使用相应的RHD模拟所观察到的恒星。

英文摘要:

Context. Asymptotic Giant Branch stars are characterised by complex stellar surface dynamics that affect the measurements and amplify the uncertainties on stellar parameters. The resulting motion of the stellar photo-center could have adverse effects on the parallax determination with Gaia. Aims. We explore the impact of the convection-related surface structure in AGBs on the photocentric variability. We quantify these effects to characterise the observed parallax errors and estimate fundamental stellar parameters and dynamical properties. Methods. We use 3D radiative-hydrodynamics simulations of convection with CO5BOLD and the post-processing radiative transfer code Optim3D to compute intensity maps in the Gaia G band. From those maps, we calculate the intensity-weighted mean of all emitting points tiling the visible stellar surface and evaluate its motion as a function of time. We extract the parallax error from Gaia DR2 for a sample of semiregular variables in the solar neighbourhood and compare it to the synthetic predictions of photo-center displacements. Results. AGB stars show a complex surface morphology characterised by the presence of few large scale long-lived convective cells accompanied by short-lived and small scale structures. As a consequence, the position of the photo-center displays temporal excursions between 0.077 to 0.198 AU (5 to 11% of the corresponding stellar radius), depending on the simulation considered. We show that the convection-related variability accounts for a substantial part to the Gaia DR2 parallax error of our sample of semiregular variables. Finally, we put in evidence for a correlation between the mean photo-center displacement and the stellar fundamental parameters: surface gravity, radius, and pulsation. We denote that parallax variations could be exploited quantitatively using appropriate RHD simulations corresponding to the observed star.
