摘要:

恒星初始自转速率的起源,以及恒星表面自转速度在演化过程中如何因内部角动量传输或与双星伴星的相互作用而变化,仍是恒星天体物理学中的开放问题。在此,我们旨在推导小麦哲伦云中年龄为35 Myr的大质量星团NGC 330内B型星的物理参数,并研究其(投影)自转速度的分布。NGC 330所处的年龄范围,预计在星团折向点(TO)附近存在大量相互作用后双星。我们开发了一种同步测光与光谱网格拟合方法,在多波段Hubble Space Telescope测光和Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer光谱上调整大气模型。这使我们能够均匀地约束250多颗亮于mF814W = 18.8 mag的B星和Be星的物理参数。NGC 330中Be星的自转速度显著高于B星。自转速度随恒星在颜色—星等图中的位置而变化,在定性上符合双星族群合成的预测。与更年轻星团的比较表明,NGC 330中的恒星平均自转更快。NGC 330中35 Myr老族群的自转速度在定量上与经历过显著双星相互作用的恒星族群预测一致:大部分B星可能是单星或相互作用前双星中的主星。快速自转的Be星可能是以往相互作用中的质量和角动量获得者,而那些靠近TO的Be星可能是被加速自转的单星。TO上方缓慢自转、表观上为单星的恒星可能是并合产物。NGC 330与更年轻族群相比不同的vsini特征,可以在这一框架下得到理解。

英文摘要:

The origin of initial rotation rates of stars, and how a star's surface rotational velocity changes during the evolution, either by internal angular momentum transport or due to interactions with a binary companion, remain open questions in stellar astrophysics. Here, we aim to derive the physical parameters and study the distribution of (projected) rotational velocities of B-type stars in the 35 Myr-old, massive cluster NGC 330 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. NGC 330 is in an age range where the number of post-interaction binaries is predicted to be high near the cluster turnoff (TO). We develop a simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic grid-fitting method adjusting atmosphere models on multi-band Hubble Space Telescope photometry and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer spectroscopy. This allows us to homogeneously constrain the physical parameters of over 250 B and Be stars, brighter than mF814W = 18.8 mag. The rotational velocities of Be stars in NGC 330 are significantly higher than the ones of B stars. The rotational velocities vary as a function of the star's position in the color-magnitude diagram, qualitatively following predictions of binary population synthesis. A comparison to younger clusters shows that stars in NGC 330 rotate more rapidly on average. The rotational velocities of the 35 Myr old population in NGC 330 quantitatively agree with predictions for a stellar population that underwent significant binary interactions: the bulk of the B stars could be single stars or primaries in pre-interaction binaries. The rapidly spinning Be stars could be mass and angular momentum gainers in previous interactions, while those Be stars close to the TO may be spun-up single stars. The slowly rotating, apparently single stars above the TO could be merger products. The different vsini-characteristics of NGC 330 compared to younger populations can be understood in this framework.
