Gemma González-Torà, Markus Wittkowski, Ben Davies, Bertrand Plez

摘要:

红超巨星(RSG)是在核心坍缩超新星之前演化的大质量恒星。理解这些冷恒星的演化阶段是理解我们宇宙的宇宙物质循环的关键,因为它们用新形成的元素丰富了宇宙。然而,触发其大气层质量损失的物理过程仍然没有完全理解,仍然是恒星天体物理学的关键问题之一。我们使用一种新的方法来研究这些冷恒星的扩展大气,探索一个简单的辐射平衡模型和半经验模型,占色球温度结构的恒星风的影响。然后,我们可以计算强度,通量和vibrations匹配的观测不同仪器在甚大望远镜干涉仪(VLTI)。具体来说,当比较与大气结构的HD 95687的基础上公布的VLTI/AMBER数据,我们发现,我们的模型可以准确地匹配这些观测在K波段,显示出巨大的潜力,这种方法来重现扩展大气的RSG。

英文摘要:

Red supergiants (RSGs) are evolved massive stars in a stage preceding core-collapse supernova. Understanding evolved-phases of these cool stars is key to understanding the cosmic matter cycle of our Universe, since they enrich the cosmos with newly formed elements. However, the physical processes that trigger mass loss in their atmospheres are still not fully understood, and remain one of the key questions in stellar astrophysics. We use a new method to study the extended atmospheres of these cold stars, exploring the effect of a stellar wind for both a simple radiative equilibrium model and a semi-empirical model that accounts for a chromospheric temperature structure. We then can compute the intensities, fluxes and visibilities matching the observations for the different instruments at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI). Specifically, when comparing with the atmospheric structure of HD 95687 based on published VLTI/AMBER data, we find that our model can accurately match these observations in the Kband, showing the enormous potential of this methodology to reproduce extended atmospheres of RSGs.
