Tidally perturbed pulsations in the pre-main sequence $δ$ Scuti binary RS Cha

摘要:

双星中的恒星成分受到潮汐力的影响,这会影响星震的性质。潮汐扰动脉动已被报道为不同的对象,但没有一个是在其前主序阶段的演变。这使得RS Cha,由两颗$δ$ Scuti恒星组成,并具有受潮汐效应影响的脉动特征,是第一个观察到的这样的物体。我们的目的是研究食双星RS车的潮汐扰动脉动理论的脉动性质。基于从TESS卫星获得的光度时间序列,我们使用PHOEBE进行了二元建模,以解释二元光变曲线,并允许调查RS Cha中两个组件的脉动。我们用线性模式的叠加来模拟去趋势光变曲线。然后将频率解释为受潮汐力扰动的自激模式。我们发现潮汐扰动模式,这使得识别脉动模式的证据。RS Cha主要表现为偶极模式,同时还推断出一个突出的$l=2$或$l=3$模式。后者验证了以前的光谱时间序列的结果。这项工作表明,RS Cha是一个理想的候选人,以测试在asteroseismic建模框架内潮汐扰动脉动理论。利用这一理论对多脉动模态的识别是前所未有的,将是未来主序前星震学的重点。然而,在食双星的轨道相位期间,由光比变化引起的振幅调制也起着重要的作用,这会使模式识别复杂化。

英文摘要:

Stellar components in binaries are subject to tidal forces which influence asteroseismic properties. Tidally pertubed pulsations have been reported for different objects but none of these are in their pre-main sequence phase of evolution. This makes RS Cha, consisting of two $δ$ Scuti stars and with pulsational characteristics influenced by tidal effects , the first such object observed. We aim to investigate the pulsational properties of the eclipsing binary RS Cha in terms of the theory of tidally perturbed pulsations. Based on photometric time series obtained from the TESS satellite, we performed binary modelling using PHOEBE to interpret the binary light curve and to allow the investigation of the pulsations of both components in RS Cha. We modelled the detrended light curve with the superposition of linear modes. The frequencies were then interpreted as self excited modes perturbed by tidal forces. We find evidence for tidally perturbed modes, which enables the identification of pulsation modes. RS Cha mainly exhibits dipole modes, while one prominent $l=2$ or $l=3$ mode is also inferred. The latter verifies previous results from spectroscopic time series. This work shows that RS Cha is an ideal candidate to test the theory of tidally perturbed pulsations within the framework of asteroseismic modelling. The identification of multiple pulsation modes using this theory is unprecedented and will be a keystone in the future of pre-main sequence asteroseismology. However, amplitude modulation caused by the changing light ratio during the orbital phase in an eclipsing binary also plays a significant role, which can complicate mode identification.
