摘要:

在化学性质特殊的A型(Ap)恒星中,强磁场通常会抑制低泛音压力模式(p模式),但允许高泛音p模式被驱动。KIC 11296437是第一颗同时拥有这两种能力的恒星。我们获得并分析了斯巴鲁光谱,从中我们发现,KIC 11296437具有类似于其他磁性Ap星的丰度,我们估计的平均磁场模量为$2.8\pm0.5$千克。相同的光谱排除了双线光谱二进制,我们使用其他技术来排除在一个广泛的参数空间的二进制,所以这两种脉动类型起源于一个$δ$ Sct-roAp的混合振荡器。我们构建了贫氦恒星模型,并证明了氦沉降在抑制Ap星低泛音p模方面仅次于磁阻尼。我们计算了选定的p和g模式的磁阻尼效应,发现极场强为$\lesssim4$ kG时会驱动频率与基模相似的模式,而极场强为$\sim$ 1.5 kG时会驱动其他低泛音p模式。我们发现在$γ$ Dor星中通常观察到的高阶g模被强于1- 4 kG的极场严重阻尼,并且对于更高的径向阶数,阻尼更强。因此,我们解释了没有磁性Ap星被观察到作为$γ$ Dor星。我们使用我们的氦耗尽模型计算了金属衬层A(Am)星的$δ$ Sct不稳定带,发现由束缚-自由不透明度中的不连续H电离边缘引起的$\sim$ $5\times10^4$ K处的Rosseland平均不透明度凸起驱动解释了Am星中观测到的$δ$ Sct脉动。

英文摘要:

Strong magnetic fields in chemically peculiar A-type (Ap) stars typically suppress low-overtone pressure modes (p modes) but allow high-overtone p modes to be driven. KIC 11296437 is the first star to show both. We obtained and analysed a Subaru spectrum, from which we show that KIC 11296437 has abundances similar to other magnetic Ap stars, and we estimate a mean magnetic field modulus of $2.8\pm0.5$ kG. The same spectrum rules out a double-lined spectroscopic binary, and we use other techniques to rule out binarity over a wide parameter space, so the two pulsation types originate in one $δ$ Sct--roAp hybrid pulsator. We construct stellar models depleted in helium and demonstrate that helium settling is second to magnetic damping in suppressing low-overtone p modes in Ap stars. We compute the magnetic damping effect for selected p and g modes, and find that modes with frequencies similar to the fundamental mode are driven for polar field strengths $\lesssim4$ kG, while other low-overtone p modes are driven for polar field strengths up to $\sim$1.5 kG. We find that the high-order g modes commonly observed in $γ$ Dor stars are heavily damped by polar fields stronger than 1--4 kG, with the damping being stronger for higher radial orders. We therefore explain the observation that no magnetic Ap stars have been observed as $γ$ Dor stars. We use our helium-depleted models to calculate the $δ$ Sct instability strip for metallic-lined A (Am) stars, and find that driving from a Rosseland mean opacity bump at $\sim$$5\times10^4$ K caused by the discontinuous H-ionization edge in bound-free opacity explains the observation of $δ$ Sct pulsations in Am stars.
