TESS研究斯科皮乌斯-半人马座协会中的B型星,发现其中81颗存在脉动,确认其为快速旋转的SPB星,并发现多种双星系统。

摘要:

我们利用美国国家航空航天局TESS任务的数据,研究了位于斯科皮乌斯-半人马座协会中的119颗B型星。我们发现81颗星(68%)在有效温度的全范围内显示出脉动。特别是,我们确认了之前关于温度介于SPB星(缓慢脉动B型星)和δ Scuti星不稳定性带之间的低频脉动的报告。通过考虑恒星密度,我们得出这些不可能是p模式,并确认之前的观点,即这些可能是快速旋转的SPB星。我们还确认它们遵循两种周期-光度关系,分别对应于顺行扇形g模式的单极(l=m=1)和四极(l=m=2)。其中一颗星(ξ² Cen)是一个混合脉动星,显示出g模式和p模式的规律间隔。我们确认α Cru有低振幅的p模式脉动,使其成为天空中最亮的β Cephei星之一。我们还发现了一些有趣的双星,包括一个非常短周期的心跳星(HD 132094),一个此前未知的食双星(π Lup),以及一个具有高振幅潮汐驱动脉动的食双星(HR 5846)。这些结果清楚地展示了TESS在研究恒星团变异性方面的强大能力。

英文摘要:

We study 119 B stars located in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association using data from NASA's TESS Mission. We see pulsations in 81 stars (68%) across the full range of effective temperatures. In particular, we confirm previous reports of low-frequency pulsations in stars whose temperatures fall between the instability strips of SPB stars (slowly pulsating B stars) and $δ$ Scuti stars. By taking the stellar densities into account, we conclude that these cannot be p modes and confirm previous suggestions that these are probably rapidly-rotating SPB stars. We also confirm that they follow two period-luminosity relations that are consistent with prograde sectoral g modes that are dipole ($l=m=1$) and quadrupole ($l=m=2$), respectively. One of the stars ($ξ^2$ Cen) is a hybrid pulsator that shows regular spacings in both g and p modes. We confirm that $α$ Cru has low-amplitude p-mode pulsations, making it one of the brightest $β$ Cephei stars in the sky. We also find several interesting binaries, including a very short-period heartbeat star (HD 132094), a previously unknown eclipsing binary ($π$ Lup), and an eclipsing binary with high-amplitude tidally driven pulsations (HR 5846). The results clearly demonstrate the power of TESS for studying variability in stellar associations.
