摘要:

我们构建了一套新的氦增强(Y = 0.30,Y = 0.40)的非线性,随时间变化的对流流体动力学模型的RR天琴座(RRL)恒星覆盖范围广的金属丰度(Z从0.0001到0.02)。He含量从正则值(Y = 0.245)增加到Y = 0.30和0.40,导致恒星光度和脉动周期同时增加。为了研究RRL距离尺度对He丰度的依赖性,我们计算了新的光学(RI)和近红外(JHK)周期光度金属氦关系。有趣的是,He含量的增加会导致周期和金属丰度项的系数发生最小的变化,因为正则模型和He增强模型遵循类似的PLZ关系。相反,经典的B和V带平均震级金属丰度关系和R带PLZ关系显示了显着的依赖于He含量。在固定的金属含量下,He增强模型比正则模型亮0.2 ~ 0.5等。这种变化只受到进化效应的轻微影响。引用的距离诊断,一旦校准与三角函数(盖亚)将提供机会,估计他的内容领域和集群RRL。此外,无论是光谱或光度测量的金属丰度的使用将铺平道路,以新的经验约束的普遍性的氦金属富集比在旧的恒星示踪剂。

英文摘要:

We constructed new sets of He-enhanced (Y = 0.30, Y = 0.40) nonlinear, time-dependent convective hydrodynamical models of RR Lyrae (RRL) stars covering a broad range in metal abundances (Z from 0.0001 to 0.02). The increase in He content from the canonical value (Y = 0.245) to Y = 0.30 and 0.40 causes a simultaneous increase in stellar luminosity and in pulsation period. To investigate the dependence of the RRL distance scale on the He abundance, we computed new optical (RI) and near-infrared (JHK ) period luminosity metallicity helium relations. Interestingly enough, the increase in He content causes a minimal change in the coefficients of both period and metallicity terms, since canonical and He-enhanced models obey similar PLZ relations. On the contrary, the classical B and V band mean magnitude metallicity relations and the R band PLZ relation display a significant dependence on the He content. The He enhanced models are, at fixed metal content, 0.2 to 0.5 mag brighter than canonical ones. This variation is only marginally affected by evolutionary effects. The quoted distance diagnostics once calibrated with trigonometric parallaxes (Gaia) will provide the opportunity to estimate the He content of field and cluster RRLs. Moreover, the use of either spectroscopic or photometric metal abundances will pave the way to new empirical constraints on the universality of the helium to metal enrichment ratio in old stellar tracers.
