摘要:

空间飞行任务CoRoT和Kepler利用无与伦比的高精度光度数据探测恒星内部,为更好地了解恒星演化开辟了新的机会。开普勒观测恒星振荡已经有四年了,这使得它能够获得出色的频率分辨率,从而能够破译演化的红巨星分支和渐近巨星分支恒星的振荡光谱。在红巨星和渐近巨星分支的上部,恒星的内部结构受到很差的约束,这使得红巨星和渐近巨星之间的区分变得困难。我们进行了彻底的地震分析,以解决这些恒星内部的物理条件,并区分它们。我们研究了大约2.000个演化巨星的振荡模式特性,该模型由红巨星的渐近压力模式模式描述,其中包括氦第二电离区的签名。我们提取的模式属性的程度l = 3,并研究它们对恒星质量,金属丰度和演化状态的依赖。我们确定了一个明显的区别,在红色和渐近巨星之间的氦二次电离区的签名。我们还检测到一个明显的短缺的能量l = 1模式后的核心,他燃烧阶段。此外,我们注意到在渐近巨星分支上观察到的模式阻尼与在红巨星分支上观察到的模式阻尼相似。我们强调,氦二次电离区的签名随恒星演化而变化。这为我们区分红巨星分支星和渐近巨星提供了物理基础。在这里,我们的恒星振荡的调查,使我们能够约束的物理过程和关键事件发生在恒星演化的高级阶段,重点是沿渐近巨星分支的上升,包括渐近巨星分支颠簸。

英文摘要:

The space-borne missions CoRoT and Kepler opened up a new opportunity for better understanding stellar evolution by probing stellar interiors with unrivalled high-precision photometric data. Kepler has observed stellar oscillation for four years, which gave access to excellent frequency resolution that enables deciphering the oscillation spectrum of evolved red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch stars. The internal structure of stars in the upper parts of the red and asymptotic giant branches is poorly constrained, which makes the distinction between red and asymptotic giants difficult. We perform a thorough seismic analysis to address the physical conditions inside these stars and to distinguish them. We studied the oscillation mode properties of about 2.000 evolved giants in a model described by the asymptotic pressure-mode pattern of red giants, which includes the signature of the helium second-ionisation zone. We extracted the mode properties up to the degree l = 3 and investigated their dependence on stellar mass, metallicity, and evolutionary status. We identify a clear difference in the signature of the helium second-ionisation zone between red and asymptotic giants. We also detect a clear shortage of the energy of l = 1 modes after the core-He-burning phase. Furthermore, we note that the mode damping observed on the asymptotic giant branch is similar to that observed on the red giant branch. We highlight that the signature of the helium second-ionisation zone varies with stellar evolution. This provides us with a physical basis for distinguishing red giant branch stars from asymptotic giants. Here, our investigation of stellar oscillations allows us to constrain the physical processes and the key events that occur during the advanced stages of stellar evolution, with emphasis on the ascent along the asymptotic giant branch, including the asymptotic giant branch bump.
