摘要:

由冷演化恒星的大气层产生的分子和尘埃贡献了星际介质中发现的大量物质。为了了解这些恒星质量损失背后的机制,研究其大气层的结构和动力学至关重要。我们的目标是验证富碳渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星V Oph的扩展分子和尘埃层及其时间变化是否可以由恒星脉动单独触发的尘埃驱动风来解释,或者是否有其他机制在起作用。我们使用最新一代的富碳恒星自洽动力学大气模型DARWIN,模拟了V Oph中红外干涉VLTI-VLT数据($8$ - $13~μ$ m),在相位$0.18$,$0.49$,$0.65$,以及文献测光数据。我们确定了恒星的基本参数:$T_\text{eff} = 2600~$ K,$L_\text{bol} = 3585~$ L $_{\odot}$,$M = 1.5~$ M $_{\odot}$,$C/O = 1.35$,$\dot{M} = 2.50\cdot10^{-6}$ M $_{\odot}$ /yr。本文计算了三个位相的恒星光球半径:$479$,$494$,$448$ R $_{\odot}$和尘埃半径:$780$,$853$,$787$ R $_{\odot}$。动力学模型能较好地解释观测到的$N$波段的可见度和光谱,但与实验数据存在一定的差异,本文对此进行了讨论。我们讨论了可能的原因的时间变化的外大气,推导出的磁场强度的估计,并计算上限的阿尔文波的速度。此外,使用周期光度序列和干涉建模,我们建议V Oph作为候选人被重新分类为半正规星。

英文摘要:

Molecules and dust produced by the atmospheres of cool evolved stars contribute to a significant amount of the total material found in the interstellar medium. To understand the mechanism behind the mass loss of these stars, it is of pivotal importance to investigate the structure and dynamics of their atmospheres. Our goal is to verify if the extended molecular and dust layers of the carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star V Oph, and their time variations, can be explained by dust-driven winds triggered by stellar pulsation alone, or if other mechanisms are operating. We model V Oph mid-infrared interferometric VLTI-MIDI data ($8$-$13~μ$m), at phases $0.18$, $0.49$, $0.65$, together with literature photometric data, using the latest-generation self-consistent dynamic atmosphere models for carbon-rich stars: DARWIN. We determine the fundamental stellar parameters: $T_\text{eff} = 2600~$K, $L_\text{bol} = 3585~$L$_{\odot}$, $M = 1.5~$M$_{\odot}$, $C/O = 1.35$, $\dot{M} = 2.50\cdot10^{-6}$M$_{\odot}$/yr. We calculate the stellar photospheric radii at the three phases: $479$, $494$, $448$ R$_{\odot}$; and the dust radii: $780$, $853$, $787$ R$_{\odot}$. The dynamic models can fairly explain the observed $N$-band visibility and spectra, although there is some discrepancy between the data and the models, which is discussed in the text. We discuss the possible causes of the temporal variations of the outer atmosphere, deriving an estimate of the magnetic field strength, and computing upper limits for the Alfvén waves velocity. In addition, using period-luminosity sequences, and interferometric modeling, we suggest V Oph as a candidate to be reclassified as a semi-regular star.
