红巨星核心中的30到100- kG磁场

30 to 100-kG magnetic fields in the cores of red giant stars

摘要:

红巨星是一颗演化的低质量或中等质量恒星,它耗尽了中心的氢含量,留下了氦核心和燃烧氢的外壳。恒星的振荡可以通过光学光变曲线上周期性的变暗和变亮来观察。在红巨星中,非径向声波与重力波耦合,产生混合模式,表现为包层中的压力(p)模式和核心中的重力(g)模式。这些模式以前被用来测量红巨星的内部旋转,导致的结论是,纯粹的流体动力学过程的角动量传输的核心是太低效。磁场可以产生所需的额外传输。然而,由于缺乏对恒星内部磁场的直接测量,目前对它们的性质知之甚少。天文地震学可以提供对磁场的直接探测,因为像旋转一样,磁场会引起振荡模式频率的偏移。在这里,我们报告的测量磁场在核心的三个红巨星观测与开普勒卫星。这些场引起的位移破坏了偶极模多重态的对称性。因此,我们测量的磁场强度范围从~30到~100千克在附近的氢燃烧壳和地方的限制领域tolopolgy。

英文摘要:

A red giant star is an evolved low- or intermediate-mass star that has exhausted its central hydrogen content, leaving a helium core and a hydrogen-burning shell. Oscillations of stars can be observed as periodic dimmings and brightenings in the optical light curves. In red giant stars, non-radial acoustic waves couple to gravity waves and give rise to mixed modes, which behave as pressure (p) modes in the envelope and gravity (g) modes in the core. These modes were previously used to measure the internal rotation of red giants, leading to the conclusion that purely hydrodynamical processes of angular momentum transport from the core are too inefficient. Magnetic fields could produce the additional required transport. However, due to the lack of direct measurements of magnetic fields in stellar interiors, very little is currently known about their properties. Asteroseismology can provide direct detection of magnetic fields because, like rotation, the fields induce shifts in the oscillation mode frequencies. Here we report the measurement of magnetic fields in the cores of three red giant stars observed with the Kepler satellite. The fields induce shifts that break the symmetry of dipole mode multiplets. We thus measure field strengths ranging from ~30 to ~100 kG in the vicinity of the hydrogen-burning shell and place constraints on the field tolopolgy.
