摘要:

白矮星是极好的研究实验室,因为它们达到了地球上无法达到的温度、压力和磁场。为了更好地了解这三个物理参数如何相互作用以及与其他恒星特征的相互作用,我们确定了总共804颗富氢白矮星的磁场强度,其中287颗不在文献中。我们用斯隆数字巡天观测到的光谱拟合了大气模型,该模型考虑了恒星盘中每一点的磁场引起的塞曼效应。比较磁性和非磁性WD,文献已经表明磁性WD的平均质量高于非磁性WD。除此之外,磁场在较冷的WD中比在较热的WD中更常见。与此一致,我们发现那些具有较高磁场强度的物质往往具有较高的质量和较低的温度,模型表明结晶过程已经开始。这加强了一个假设,即磁场是在白矮星冷却过程中产生和/或放大的。我们的样本构成了迄今为止数量最多的具有确定磁场的白矮星。

英文摘要:

White dwarfs are excellent research laboratories as they reach temperatures, pressures, and magnetic fields that are unattainable on Earth. To better understand how these three physical parameters interact with each other and with other stellar features, we determined the magnetic field strength for a total of 804 hydrogen-rich white dwarfs of which 287 are not in the literature. We fitted the spectra observed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using atmospheric models that consider the Zeeman effect due to the magnetic field at each point in the stellar disk. Comparing magnetic and non-magnetic WDs, the literature already shows that the magnetic ones have on average higher mass than the non-magnetic. In addition to that, magnetic fields are more common in cooler WDs than in hotter WDs. In consonance, we found that those with higher magnetic field strengths tend to have higher masses, and lower temperatures, for which models indicate the crystallization process has already started. This reinforces the hypothesis that the field is being generated and/or amplified in the cooling process of the white dwarf. Our sample constitutes the largest number of white dwarfs with determined magnetic fields to date.
