摘要:

在恒星结构和演化理论中,主序星上发生核心对流的恒星是最大的。校准恒星内部理论中使用的自由参数的一个强有力的方法是星震学,它提供了角动量和元素输运的直接测量。我们报告的检测和分类的新的可变O和B星使用高精度的短节奏(2分钟)光度观测组装的凌日系外行星调查卫星(TESS)。在我们的154个O型和B型恒星样本中,我们检测到了很高比例(90%)的变异性。其中,我们发现23个多周期双星,6个食双星,21个旋转变量,和25颗恒星的随机低频变化。这些类别之间有几个额外的变量重叠。我们对O型和B型恒星的研究不仅证明了TESS对宇宙中最大质量恒星的变异性进行最佳研究所取得的高数据质量,而且还代表了选择和组成大样本O型和B型恒星的第一步,这些恒星具有很高的潜力,可以以前所未有的精度对其内部结构进行联合小行星地震和光谱建模。

英文摘要:

Uncertainties in stellar structure and evolution theory are largest for stars undergoing core convection on the main sequence. A powerful way to calibrate the free parameters used in the theory of stellar interiors is asteroseismology, which provides direct measurements of angular momentum and element transport. We report the detection and classification of new variable O and B stars using high-precision short-cadence (2-min) photometric observations assembled by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). In our sample of 154 O and B stars, we detect a high percentage (90%) of variability. Among these we find 23 multiperiodic pulsators, 6 eclipsing binaries, 21 rotational variables, and 25 stars with stochastic low-frequency variability. Several additional variables overlap between these categories. Our study of O and B stars not only demonstrates the high data quality achieved by TESS for optimal studies of the variability of the most massive stars in the Universe, but also represents the first step towards the selection and composition of a large sample of O and B pulsators with high potential for joint asteroseismic and spectroscopic modeling of their interior structure with unprecedented precision.
