强磁场对红巨星引力模周期间隔的影响

Effect of a strong magnetic field on gravity-mode period spacings in red giant stars

Shyeh Tjing Loi

摘要:

当一颗恒星演化成红巨星时,基于核心的重力模式和基于重力的压力模式之间增强的耦合形成混合模式,使其内部深处可以通过星震学进行探测。获得恒星内部信息的能力对于限制恒星结构和演化理论是重要的,对于这些理论,预测和观测之间的各种差异的起源仍在争论中。目前的猜测围绕着一些红巨星可能在其核心中拥有强大的(动态显着的)磁场的可能性,但对观测数据的解释仍然存在争议。在某种程度上,这与我们对强场对重力模式地震特性的影响的理解不足有关,这超出了标准微扰方法的范围。在这里,我们试图研究一个强磁场的重力模式的渐近周期间距的影响。我们使用哈密顿射线方法来测量由模式形成射线占据的相空间的体积,这大致与模式的平均密度(每单位频率间隔的模式数)成比例。一个强场似乎系统地增加了约10%,这预示着一个小10%的周期间隔。射线动力学中的近可积性的证据表明,引力模谱在强场下仍然可能表现出伪对称性。

英文摘要:

When a star evolves into a red giant, the enhanced coupling between core-based gravity modes and envelope-based pressure modes forms mixed modes, allowing its deep interior to be probed by asteroseismology. The ability to obtain information about stellar interiors is important for constraining theories of stellar structure and evolution, for which the origin of various discrepancies between prediction and observation are still under debate. Ongoing speculation surrounds the possibility that some red giant stars may harbour strong (dynamically significant) magnetic fields in their cores, but interpretation of the observational data remains controversial. In part, this is tied to shortfalls in our understanding of the effects of strong fields on the seismic properties of gravity modes, which lies beyond the regime of standard perturbative methods. Here we seek to investigate the effect of a strong magnetic field on the asymptotic period spacings of gravity modes. We use a Hamiltonian ray approach to measure the volume of phase space occupied by mode-forming rays, this being roughly proportional to the average density of modes (number of modes per unit frequency interval). A strong field appears to systematically increase this by about 10%, which predicts a ~10% smaller period spacing. Evidence of near integrability in the ray dynamics hints that the gravity-mode spectrum may still exhibit pseudo-regularities under a strong field.
