摘要:

我们提出的Blazhko效应的分析-准周期调制的脉动振幅和/或相位-在银河系的第一个核球泛音RR天琴座恒星(RRc)。我们使用了光学引力透镜实验(OGLE)第四阶段收集的数据。在分析的10826颗RRc星中,607颗星检测到Blazhko效应,占样本的5.6%。这是迄今为止分析的最大和最均匀的调制RRc星样本。调制周期范围很广,从略高于2 d到接近3000 d。在47颗恒星中检测到多周期调制。详细研究了调制在频域中的出现。调制表现为以径向模式频率及其谐波为中心的紧密的双峰或等距的三重峰和多重峰。在相当一部分(29%)的恒星中,我们已经检测到调制频率本身,这对应于平均恒星亮度的调制。我们对倍周期效应的研究结果是否定的,这种效应是最近在调制基模RR型天琴座星中发现的,并引发了Blazhko调制背后新模型的发展。在104颗恒星中,我们检测到了可能对应于径向和非径向模式的额外信号。详细分析了调制星的统计特性,并与非调制星和调制基模RR型天琴座星的统计特性进行了比较。我们的分析为解释Blazhko现象的模型提供了限制,Blazhko现象在发现一百多年后仍然是一个谜。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis of the Blazhko effect - quasi-periodic modulation of pulsation amplitude and/or phase - in the Galactic bulge first overtone RR Lyrae stars (RRc). We used the data gathered during the fourth phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE). Out of 10 826 analyzed RRc stars, Blazhko effect was detected in 607 stars which constitute 5.6 percent of the sample. It is the largest and most homogeneous sample of modulated RRc stars analyzed so far. Modulation periods cover a wide range, from slightly above 2 d to nearly 3000 d. Multiperiodic modulation was detected in 47 stars. The appearance of modulation in the frequency domain was studied in detail. Modulation manifests either as close doublets or as equidistant triplets and multiplets centered on radial mode frequency and its harmonics. In a significant fraction (29 percent) of stars, we have detected the modulation frequency itself, which corresponds to the modulation of the mean stellar brightness. Our search for period doubling effect, that was discovered recently in modulated fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars, and triggered development of new model behind the Blazhko modulation, yielded negative result. In 104 stars we detected additional signals that could correspond to both radial and non-radial modes. Statistical properties of modulated stars were analyzed in detail and confronted with properties of non-modulated stars and of modulated fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars. Our analysis provides constraints for the models to explain the Blazhko phenomenon, which still remains a puzzle more than hundred years after its discovery.
