摘要:

背景:恒星结构和演化的研究关键取决于精确的恒星参数。太空望远镜的测光提供了极好的数据,使成千上万颗恒星的星震特征成为可能。然而,空间望远镜的典型目标是相当微弱的,很难获得补充测量。另一方面,最亮的,否则研究得很好的恒星,缺乏地震特征。目的:我们的目标是使用颗粒和/或振荡的时间尺度从光度时间序列的明亮的红巨星(1.6 $\leq$ Vmag $\leq$ 5.3)观测BRITE确定恒星表面的重力和质量。研究方法:我们使用概率的方法来表征颗粒和/或振荡信号的功率密度谱和自相关函数的BRITE时间序列。结果如下:我们在23颗红巨星中检测到一个清晰的颗粒和/或振荡信号,并从功率密度谱以及BRITE时间序列的自相关函数中提取相应的时间尺度。为了解释最近发现的经典地震标度关系的非线性,我们使用来自大样本开普勒恒星的参数来重新校准颗粒信号的高频和低频分量的标度。我们开发了一种方法,以确定哪一个组件进行测量,如果只有一个造粒组件是统计学上显着的数据。然后,我们使用新的缩放来确定我们的样本恒星的表面重力,发现它们与从时间序列的自相关信号确定的一致。我们进一步使用从文献中的半径估计,以确定我们的样本恒星的恒星质量从测量的表面重力。我们还定义了一个统计措施的恒星的演化阶段。

英文摘要:

Context: The study of stellar structure and evolution depends crucially on accurate stellar parameters. The photometry from space telescopes has provided superb data that allowed asteroseismic characterisation of thousands of stars. However, typical targets of space telescopes are rather faint and complementary measurements are difficult to obtain. On the other hand, the brightest, otherwise well-studied stars, are lacking seismic characterization. Aims: Our goal is to use the granulation and/or oscillation time scales measured from photometric time series of bright red giants (1.6$\leq$Vmag$\leq$5.3) observed with BRITE to determine stellar surface gravities and masses. Methods: We use probabilistic methods to characterize the granulation and/or oscillation signal in the power density spectra and the autocorrelation function of the BRITE time series. Results: We detect a clear granulation and/or oscillation signal in 23 red giant stars and extract the corresponding time scales from the power density spectra as well as the autocorrelation function of the BRITE time series. To account for the recently discovered non-linearity of the classical seismic scaling relations, we use parameters from a large sample of Kepler stars to re-calibrate the scalings of the high- and low-frequency components of the granulation signal. We develop a method to identify which component is measured if only one granulation component is statistically significant in the data. We then use the new scalings to determine the surface gravity of our sample stars, finding them to be consistent with those determined from the autocorrelation signal of the time series. We further use radius estimates from the literature to determine the stellar masses of our sample stars from the measured surface gravities. We also define a statistical measure for the evolutionary stage of the stars.
