AI总结:

本文报告了对25颗最亮经典造父变星的ESPaDOnS和HARPSpol光谱偏振观测结果,在15个目标中8个探测到Stokes V磁场特征,发现其异常轮廓可能由大气梯度修改的塞曼效应引起。

摘要:

我们报告了来自正在进行的对最亮的25颗经典造父变星磁力巡天的最新ESPaDOnS和HARPSpol光谱偏振观测结果。在迄今观测的15个目标中,有8个探测到了Stokes $V$磁场特征。Stokes $V$轮廓表现出形态的多样性,其相关的纵向场测量值较弱,约为1 G。在正常塞曼效应的背景下,许多Stokes $V$轮廓难以解释。它们由正或负圆偏振的近似单极单瓣或双瓣组成。我们假设这些不寻常的特征是由大气速度或磁场梯度修改的塞曼效应引起的。相比之下,Polaris和MY Pup的Stokes $V$轮廓在定性上似乎与非脉动冷超巨星的复杂磁场特征相似,这可能归因于这两颗恒星较低的脉动振幅。

英文摘要:

We report recent ESPaDOnS and HARPSpol spectropolarimetric observations from our ongoing magnetic survey of the brightest twenty-five classical Cepheids. Stokes $V$ magnetic signatures are detected in eight of fifteen targets observed to date. The Stokes $V$ profiles show a diversity of morphologies with weak associated longitudinal field measurements of order 1 G. Many of the Stokes $V$ profiles are difficult to interpret in the context of the normal Zeeman effect. They consist of approximately unipolar single or double lobe(s) of positive or negative circular polarization. We hypothesize that these unusual signatures are due to the Zeeman effect modified by atmospheric velocity or magnetic field gradients. In contrast, the Stokes $V$ profiles of Polaris and MY Pup appear qualitatively similar to the complex magnetic signatures of non-pulsating cool supergiants, possibly due to the low pulsation amplitudes of these two stars.
