本文用MUSIC开展5倍太阳质量ZAMS恒星二维模拟,揭示IGWs传播、辐射阻尼加热及对流核上方非线性效应,并警示光度增强模拟与观测比较需谨慎。

摘要:

主序中等质量恒星具有一个支持内部重力波(IGWs)的辐射包层。IGWs在与对流核的边界处被激发,向恒星表面传播,并被认为会影响自转和化学混合等物理过程。利用完全可压缩、时间隐式代码MUSIC,我们在一个零龄主序、5倍太阳质量恒星模型的二维模拟中研究IGWs,模拟范围延伸至恒星半径的91%,并采用不同的光度和辐射扩散率增强。我们的结果表明,由核心对流激发的低频波在传播时会受到辐射效应的强烈影响。这种影响取决于辐射扩散率的径向剖面;从恒星中心到模拟区域顶部,辐射扩散率增加了近5个数量级。在模拟区域的上层,我们观测到温度升高。我们的研究表明,这是由于被辐射扩散阻尼的IGWs向这些层中加入热量所致。我们显示,与大振幅IGWs相关的非线性效应可能恰好在对流核上方具有重要意义。这两种效应都会因光度和辐射扩散率的人为增强而加剧,增强因子最高可达真实值的10^4倍。我们的结果还强调,必须谨慎对待增强光度的数值模拟与观测之间的直接比较。最后,我们的工作表明,与IGWs阻尼相关的热效应可能对恒星结构产生不可忽略的影响。

英文摘要:

Main-sequence intermediate-mass stars present a radiative envelope that supports internal gravity waves (IGWs). Excited at the boundary with the convective core, IGWs propagate towards the stellar surface and are suspected to impact physical processes such as rotation and chemical mixing. Using the fully compressible time-implicit code MUSIC, we study IGWs in two-dimensional simulations of a zero-age-main-sequence 5 solar mass star model up to 91\% of the stellar radius with different luminosity and radiative diffusivity enhancements. Our results show that low frequency waves excited by core convection are strongly impacted by radiative effects as they propagate. This impact depends on the radial profile of radiative diffusivity which increases by almost 5 orders of magnitude between the centre of the star and the top of the simulation domain. In the upper layers of the simulation domain, we observe an increase of the temperature. Our study suggests that this is due to heat added in these layers by IGWs damped by radiative diffusion. We show that non-linear effects linked to large amplitude IGWs may be relevant just above the convective core. Both these effects are intensified by the artificial enhancement of the luminosity and radiative diffusivity, with enhancement factors up to $10^4$ times the realistic values. Our results also highlight that direct comparison between numerical simulations with enhanced luminosity and observations must be made with caution. Finally, our work suggests that thermal effects linked to the damping of IGWs could have a non-negligible impact on stellar structure.
