摘要:

白矮星光谱中镁原子共振线的线形由镁原子的性质和白矮星大气结构决定。通过它们的覆盖效应,这些线对模型结构有着主导性的影响,从而对描述恒星大气和元素丰度的其他物理参数的光谱的确定产生了影响。在继续以前的工作Mg $^+$ He线在紫外线,我们提出的理论轮廓中性Mg的共振线由He扰动的极端密度条件下发现在冷的大部分透明的大气中的DZ白矮星。我们准确地确定了扩大镁由他在统一理论的碰撞线配置文件使用从头计算的MgHe势能和过渡矩阵元素之间的单重电子态,所涉及的可观察到的谱线。我们计算了Mg线的形状和线参数,并研究了它们对氦密度和温度的依赖性。我们提供了恒星光谱模型输入所需的4000至12000 K整个温度范围内的结果。大气模型是在冷DZ白矮星典型的有效温度和表面重力范围内建立的。我们目前的合成光谱跟踪的Mg共振线轮廓下的低温和高气压普遍在这些气氛中的行为。镁共振线不透明度数据的精确测定与改进的大气模型程序相结合,得到了冷DZ白矮星的较好拟合。为了准确测定DZ白矮星大气中的H/He和Mg/He丰度比,需要了解氦对谱线的加宽。我们强调,没有自由电位参数或特设的调整被用来计算线的轮廓。

英文摘要:

Line shapes of the magnesium resonance lines in white dwarf spectra are determined by the properties of magnesium atoms and the structure of the white dwarf atmosphere. Through their blanketing effect, these lines have a dominant influence on the model structure and thus on the determination from the spectra of other physical parameters that describe the stellar atmosphere and elemental abundances. In continuation of previous work on Mg$^+$He lines in the UV, we present theoretical profiles of the resonance line of neutral Mg perturbed by He at the extreme density conditions found in the cool largely transparent atmosphere of DZ white dwarfs. We accurately determined the broadening of Mg by He in a unified theory of collisional line profiles using ab initio calculations of MgHe potential energies and transition matrix elements among the singlet electronic states that are involved for the observable spectral lines. We computed the shapes and line parameters of the Mg lines and studied their dependence on helium densities and temperatures. We present results over the full range of temperatures from 4000 to 12000 K needed for input to stellar spectra models. Atmosphere models were constructed for a range of effective temperatures and surface gravities typical for cool DZ white dwarfs. We present synthetic spectra tracing the behavior of the Mg resonance line profiles under the low temperatures and high gas pressures prevalent in these atmospheres. The determination of accurate opacity data of magnesium resonance lines together with an improved atmosphere model code lead to a good fit of cool DZ white dwarf stars. The broadening of spectral lines by helium needs to be understood to accurately determine the H/He and Mg/He abundance ratio in DZ white dwarf atmospheres. We emphasize that no free potential parameters or ad hoc adjustments were used to calculate the line profiles.
