AI总结:

本研究通过多普勒成像分析快速旋转Ap星56 Ari的硅分布,发现其表面斑块结构在1986至2014年间保持稳定刚性旋转,从而排除磁场重排或原子扩散导致周期变化,并探讨其他可能机制。

摘要:

化学特殊Ap/Bp星表面的磁场和丰度不均匀性相互耦合,并导致其旋转调制变率。在化石场假说的框架下,这些不均匀性被认为在主序(MS)时间尺度上基本稳定。然而,一小部分Ap/Bp星表现出旋转周期变化,目前对此尚缺乏充分理解。我们展示了快速旋转Ap星56 Ari的多普勒成像(DI)结果,该星此前已被探测到周期变化。对56 Ari表面硅分布的重建揭示了其复杂的斑块图案,该图案负责旋转光变并与其磁场调制相关。对1986年至2014年间(此类研究中前所未有的长间隔)获得的丰度图的比较,证实了斑块图案的稳定性和刚性旋转。因此,56 Ari的周期变化并非由表面磁场结构的重排和/或短时间尺度上运行的原子扩散所引起。它也不太可能通过恒星旋转轴的自由进动导致的斑块可见性变化来解释。在论文末尾,我们简要讨论了周期变率的其他可能解释。

英文摘要:

The surface magnetic and abundance inhomogeneities in chemically peculiar Ap/Bp stars are coupled and responsible for their rotationally modulated variability. Within the framework of fossil field hypothesis these inhomogeneities are considered to be essentially stable over the Main Sequence (MS) timescale. However, a small group of Ap/Bp stars show rotational period changes, which are currently not well understood. We present results of Doppler Imaging (DI) of rapidly rotating Ap star 56 Ari for which changes in period were previously detected. Reconstruction of the surface distribution of silicon in 56 Ari reveals its complex spot pattern, which is responsible for the rotationally light variability and correlated with magnetic field modulation. Comparison of abundance maps obtained over the unprecedentedly long for such studies interval from 1986 to 2014 confirms stability and rigid rotation of the spot pattern. Thus, the period change in 56 Ari is not caused by rearrangement of the surface magnetic structures and/or atomic diffusion operating on short time scale. It is also unlikely to be explained by the visibility changes of the spots due to free-body precession of stellar rotational axis. In the end of the paper we briefly discuss possible alternative explanations of period variability.
