经典脉动星的高精度距离测量

High-precision distance measurements with classical pulsating stars

Anupam Bhardwaj

摘要:

经典造父变星和天琴座RR型变星是径向脉动的恒星,分别追踪年轻和年老的恒星星族。这些经典脉动星是进行精确恒星天体物理和河外距离测量的最敏感的探测器。尽管由于它们定义良好的周期-亮度关系,它们被广泛用作标准蜡烛,但基于这些物体的距离测量受到其绝对主校准,金属丰度效应和其他系统不确定性的影响。在这里,我提出了一个经典的造父变星,天琴座RR,和II型造父变星的历史介绍和描述他们的基本进化和脉动属性开始审查。我将集中在最近的理论和观测工作,以建立这些标准蜡烛在多个波长的绝对规模。这些经典的脉动星的应用,以高精度的宇宙距离尺度将与观测系统一起讨论。我将总结与展望进一步改善我们的理解,这些经典的反射镜在即将到来的时代,极大的望远镜。

英文摘要:

Classical Cepheid and RR Lyrae variables are radially pulsating stars that trace young and old-age stellar populations, respectively. These classical pulsating stars are the most sensitive probes for the precision stellar astrophysics and the extragalactic distance measurements. Despite their extensive use as standard candles thanks to their well-defined Period-Luminosity relations, distance measurements based on these objects suffer from their absolute primary calibrations, metallicity effects, and other systematic uncertainties. Here, I present a review of classical Cepheid, RR Lyrae, and Type II Cepheid variables starting with a historical introduction and describing their basic evolutionary and pulsational properties. I will focus on recent theoretical and observational efforts to establish absolute scale for these standard candles at multiple wavelengths. The application of these classical pulsating stars to high-precision cosmic distance scale will be discussed along with observational systematics. I will summarize with an outlook for further improvements in our understanding of these classical pulsators in the upcoming era of extremely large telescopes.
