摘要:

在30多年前的理论研究中,就已经预测到可能存在比鲸鱼座ZZ星更热的温暖($T_{\rm eff}\sim19\,000$ K)脉动DA白矮星(WD)星。然而,到目前为止,还没有发现脉动温暖的DA WD。我们重新审视脉动预测的基础上,新的完整的进化序列。我们分析了TESS卫星观测到的所有暖DAs,直到第9区,以寻找可能的脉动信号。我们计算WD的进化序列与H含量的范围$-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$,适合于研究温暖的DA WD。我们使用一个新的全隐式处理的时间相关的元素扩散。在有效温度范围$30\,000-10\,000$ K内计算了非绝热脉动,重点是周期在$50-1500$ s范围内的$\ell= 1$ $g$模式。我们发现,扩展的He/H过渡区抑制$g$模式的激发,由于部分电离的He低于H信封,只有在H/He过渡的情况下,假设更突然,模型表现出脉动不稳定性。在这种情况下,不稳定性被发现只有在WD模型与H信封的范围内的$-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$和有效温度高于那些典型的鲸鱼座ZZ星,在协议与以前的研究。在TESS卫星观测到的36个暖DAs中,没有发现一个有脉动。我们的研究表明,非检测到的脉动温暖的DA,如果WD非常薄的H信封确实存在,可能是由于存在一个平滑和扩展的H/He过渡区。这可以被认为是元素扩散确实在WD内部起作用的一个间接证据。

英文摘要:

The possible existence of warm ($T_{\rm eff}\sim19\,000$ K) pulsating DA white dwarf (WD) stars, hotter than ZZ Ceti stars, was predicted in theoretical studies more than 30 yr ago. However, to date, no pulsating warm DA WD has been discovered. We re-examine the pulsational predictions for such WDs on the basis of new full evolutionary sequences. We analyze all the warm DAs observed by TESS satellite up to Sector 9 in order to search for the possible pulsational signal. We compute WD evolutionary sequences with H content in the range $-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$, appropriate for the study of warm DA WDs. We use a new full-implicit treatment of time-dependent element diffusion. Non-adiabatic pulsations were computed in the effective temperature range of $30\,000-10\,000$ K, focusing on $\ell= 1$ $g$ modes with periods in the range $50-1500$ s. We find that extended He/H transition zones inhibit the excitation of $g$ modes due to partial ionization of He below the H envelope, and only in the case that the H/He transition is assumed much more abrupt, models do exhibit pulsational instability. In this case, instabilities are found only in WD models with H envelopes in the range of $-14.5 \lesssim \log(M_{\rm H}/M_{\star}) \lesssim -10$ and at effective temperatures higher than those typical of ZZ Ceti stars, in agreement with previous studies. None of the 36 warm DAs observed so far by TESS satellite are found to pulsate. Our study suggests that the non-detection of pulsating warm DAs, if WDs with very thin H envelopes do exist, could be attributed to the presence of a smooth and extended H/He transition zone. This could be considered as an indirect proof that element diffusion indeed operates in the interior of WDs.
