恒星合并的星震指纹

Asteroseismic Fingerprints of Stellar Mergers

Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller

摘要:

恒星并合是恒星演化、动力学和瞬变科学中的重要过程。然而,合并后的残留恒星很难被识别,因为它们不能根据表面性质轻易地与单一恒星区分开来。我们表明,合并残余物可以通过使用测量的重力模式周期间隔与asteroseismic质量的红巨星的asteroseismology确定。对于发生在简并核心形成后的合并,残余恒星相对于其核心具有超大质量的包层,这在星震学上表现为g~模式周期间隔小于恒星质量的预期。当主序星仍然在主序星上或其总质量小于$\approx\! 2 \, M_\odot$时,合并的残余物就很难与单颗恒星区分开来。利用Vrard等人2016年和Yu等人2018年的红巨星星震星表,我们识别出了有希望成为合并残余星的$24$候选者。在某些情况下,合并残留物也可以只使用它们的温度、光度和星震质量来检测,这种技术可以应用于更大数量的红巨星,而不需要可靠的周期间隔测量。

英文摘要:

Stellar mergers are important processes in stellar evolution, dynamics, and transient science. However, it is difficult to identify merger remnant stars because they cannot easily be distinguished from single stars based on their surface properties. We demonstrate that merger remnants can potentially be identified through asteroseismology of red giant stars using measurements of the gravity mode period spacing together with the asteroseismic mass. For mergers that occur after the formation of a degenerate core, remnant stars have over-massive envelopes relative to their cores, which is manifested asteroseismically by a g~mode period spacing smaller than expected for the star's mass. Remnants of mergers which occur when the primary is still on the main sequence or whose total mass is less than $\approx\! 2 \, M_\odot$ are much harder to distinguish from single stars. Using the red giant asteroseismic catalogs of Vrard et al. 2016 and Yu et al. 2018, we identify $24$ promising candidates for merger remnant stars. In some cases, merger remnants could also be detectable using only their temperature, luminosity, and asteroseismic mass, a technique that could be applied to a larger population of red giants without a reliable period spacing measurement.
