利用表列恒星强度进行快速凌日计算

Fast Transit Computation Using Tabulated Stellar Intensities

Donald R. Short, Jerome A. Orosz, Gur Windmiller, William F. Welsh

摘要:

临边暗化定律是恒星强度中心到临边变化的方便参数化,它们在日食和凌日建模中无处不在。但它们在任何意义上都不是“定律”--它们是真实强度变化的简单近似值,随着恒星大气模型的改进和更高精度的数据变得可用,它们的局限性变得越来越明显。在拟合日食和凌日光变曲线时,理想的情况是使用基于基本恒星参数的模型强度,如恒星的质量、半径和有效温度,而不是临边暗化定律及其系数。当试图探测更高阶的效应时,如行星扁率,环,卫星或大气层,尤其如此。然而,使用模型强度需要对模型恒星表面上的许多小面积“瓦片”进行数值积分,这在传统上对于一般使用来说计算成本太高。在这里,我们提出了一个快速的技术来计算光变曲线和罗斯特-麦克劳克林效应,使用列表恒星模型强度。这是开发工具的一个步骤,该工具满足了对临边暗化定律的需求。

英文摘要:

Limb darkening laws are convenient parameterizations of the stellar intensity center-to-limb variation, and their use is ubiquitous in eclipse and transit modeling. But they are not "laws" in any sense -- they are simple approximations of the real intensity variations, and their limitations are becoming more and more apparent as stellar atmosphere models improve and higher precision data become available. When fitting eclipses and transit light curves, one would ideally like to use model intensities that are based on fundamental stellar parameters such as the mass, radius, and effective temperature of the star, rather than a limb darkening law representation and its coefficients. This is especially true when attempting to detect higher-order effects such as planetary oblateness, rings, satellites, or atmospheres. However, using model intensities requires numerically integrating many small-area "tiles" on the model stellar surface(s) and this has traditionally been too computationally expensive for general use. Here we present a fast technique to compute light curves and the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect that uses tabulated stellar models intensities. This is a step in the development of tools that obviate the need for limb darkening laws.
