非静态对流区对模相干性的限制

Limits on Mode Coherence Due to a Non-static Convection Zone

M. H. Montgomery, J. J. Hermes, D. E. Winget

摘要:

脉动的标准理论处理恒星模型中无穷小扰动的频率和增长率。被计算为线性驱动的模式应随时间按指数增加其振幅;通常观察到的振幅几乎恒定的事实证明,非线性机制抑制了有限振幅脉动的增长。模型预测DAV对流区的质量对温度非常敏感(即,$M_{\text{CZ}} \propto T_{\text{eff}}^{-90}$)导致甚至“小振幅”的放大器也可能经历显著的非线性效应。特别地,有限振幅g模式脉动的外转折点可以随局部表面温度而变化,产生与驻波所需的相位稍微异相的反射波。这可能导致模式的相干性的缺乏以及其全局幅度的减小。我们计算这种效果的具体例子的大小,并讨论开普勒和K2观测的背景下的结果。

英文摘要:

The standard theory of pulsations deals with the frequencies and growth rates of infinitesimal perturbations in a stellar model. Modes which are calculated to be linearly driven should increase their amplitudes exponentially with time; the fact that nearly constant amplitudes are usually observed is evidence that nonlinear mechanisms inhibit the growth of finite amplitude pulsations. Models predict that the mass of DAV convection zones is very sensitive to temperature (i.e., $M_{\text{CZ}} \propto T_{\text{eff}}^{-90}$) leading to the possibility that even "small amplitude" pulsators may experience significant nonlinear effects. In particular, the outer turning point of finite-amplitude g-mode pulsations can vary with the local surface temperature, producing a reflected wave that is slightly out of phase with that required for a standing wave. This can lead to a lack of coherence of the mode and a reduction in its global amplitude. We compute the size of this effect for specific examples and discuss the results in the context of Kepler and K2 observations.
