摘要:

自转是Am星形成过程中的一个重要物理过程。低速旋转与岩石化学性质有很强的相关性。然而,许多非CP慢转恒星的存在挑战了对Am星的理解。本工作的目的是寻找低速旋转的非CP A型星和Am星,并进行比较分析。在本文中,我们从LAMOST-Kepler计划中选取了一个样本,包括21颗Am星,125颗非CP慢转星和53颗非CP快转星。我们通过不均匀表面引起的光变曲线的周期性变化来计算自转频率,进而得到自转速度。对于慢转星,在相同的温度区间,Am星的年龄在统计上要比非CP星的年龄年轻。通过对Am星和非CP星的周期、平均振幅和恒星质量的比较,发现Am星和非CP星的光度变率没有差别,这意味着它们的表面具有相似的不均匀性。非CP星的平均振幅随着有效温度和恒星质量的增加有下降的趋势,这与理论预测的A型星中弱的发电机产生的磁场引起的一致。此外,我们通过检查FOV图像,24像素图像和像素级光变曲线,确认了四颗非非CP星有耀斑。

英文摘要:

Rotation is a critical physical process operating in the formation of Am stars. There is a strong correlation between low-velocity rotation and chemical peculiarity. However, the existence of many non-CP slow rotators challenges the understanding of Am stars. The purpose of our work is to search for low-velocity rotating non-CP A-type stars and Am stars and to make a comparative analysis. In this paper, we pick out a sample from the LAMOST-Kepler project, including 21 Am stars, 125 non-CP slow rotators, and 53 non-CP fast rotators. We calculate the rotational frequencies through periodic change of light curves caused by inhomogeneous stellar surfaces and then obtain the rotational velocities. For slow rotators, the age of Am stars is statistically younger than that of non-CP stars in the same temperature bin. In the comparison of the period, the average amplitude, and stellar mass of Am and non-CP stars, we discover that there is no difference in the photometric variability between Am and non-CP stars, which implies similar inhomogeneities on the surfaces. The average amplitude of non-CP stars has a downward trend with the increase of effective temperature and stellar mass, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction caused by weak dynamo-generated magnetic fields in A-type stars. In addition, we confirm four non-non-CP stars which have flares by checking FOV images, 24 pixel images, and pixel-level light curves.
