WISE对极端AGB星的看法

A WISE view on extreme AGB stars

Martin Groenewegen

摘要:

变率是渐近巨星分支(AGB)上恒星的一个重要性质。它们的脉动周期与恒星的光度和质量损失率(MLR)有关。长周期变星(LPV)和米拉变星是演化恒星中最突出的变星类型。然而,最红,最模糊的AGB恒星在光学上太暗,逃避了大的变化调查。我们的目标是通过分析WISE W1和W2光变曲线(LC)约2000个来源,光度选择,包括已知的C-恒星与11.3亩碳化硅尘埃功能的吸收,银河系O-恒星周期长于1000天,以获得一个样本的LPV与大型MLRs。从AllWISE和NEOWISE数据库中检索历元光度测定,并拟合正弦曲线。还下载并拟合了其他变异性调查的测光结果。对于316颗最红的恒星的一个子集,光谱能量分布(SED)被构建,并与中红外(MIR)光谱(如果有的话)一起,与尘埃辐射转移程序相匹配,以获得MLR。基于WISE的LC和拟合数据为所有恒星。受最近一篇论文的启发,确定了一些不可变的OH/IR。基于对振幅的选择,选择了约750个(候选)LPV的样本,其中145个具有超过1000天的周期,其中许多是新的。对于具有富C极红天体(ERO)颜色的恒星子集,SED(和可用的MIR光谱)的拟合将它们分为富C和富O天体。银河ERO的数量似乎是完整的,达到约5~kpc,并确定了这类恒星在太阳邻域的总尘埃返回率。根据麦哲伦云的ERO,导出了一个测热周期光度。

英文摘要:

(abridged) Variability is a key property of stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Their pulsation period is related to the luminosity and mass-loss rate (MLR) of the star. Long-period variables (LPVs) and Mira variables are the most prominent of all types of variability of evolved stars. However, the reddest, most obscured AGB stars are too faint in the optical and have eluded large variability surveys. Our goal is to obtain a sample of LPVs with large MLRs by analysing WISE W1 and W2 light curves (LCs) for about 2000 sources, photometrically selected to include known C-stars with the 11.3 mu silicon carbide dust feature in absorption, and Galactic O-stars with periods longer than 1000 days. Epoch photometry was retrieved from the AllWISE and NEOWISE database and fitted with a sinus curve. Photometry from other variability surveys was also downloaded and fitted. For a subset of 316 of the reddest stars, spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were constructed, and, together with mid-infrared (MIR) spectra when available, fitted with a dust radiative transfer programme in order to derive MLRs. WISE based LCs and fits to the data are presented for all stars. Inspired by a recent paper, a number of non-variable OH/IRs are identified. Based on a selection on amplitude, a sample of about 750 (candidate) LPVs is selected of which 145 have periods over 1000 days, many of them being new. For the subset of the stars with the colours of C-rich extremely red objects (EROs) the fitting of the SEDs (and available MIR spectra) separates them into C- and O-rich objects. The number of Galactic EROs appears to be complete up to about 5~kpc and a total dust return rate in the solar neighbourhood for this class is determined. Based on the EROs in the Magellanic Clouds, a bolometric period luminosity is derived.
