AI总结:

本研究利用SDSS中26,041颗DA型白矮星,通过分箱分离引力红移直接测量质量-半径关系,以大于6.1σ的显著性首次明确探测到其温度依赖性,为未来精确测试提供了新方法。

摘要:

模型预测,已被充分研究的白矮星质量-半径关系取决于恒星的温度,在给定半径下,较热的白矮星相比较冷的白矮星具有更大的质量。在本文中,我们使用了一个包含26,041颗DA型白矮星的目录,这些白矮星是在Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Releases 1-19中观测到的。我们测量了每个对象的径向速度、有效温度、表面重力和半径。通过将该目录按半径或表面重力进行分箱,我们平均了附近白矮星径向速度中的随机运动分量,以分离这些对象的引力红移,并利用它们直接测量质量-半径关系。对于通过按半径或表面重力分箱测量到的引力红移,我们发现了温度依赖性质量-半径关系的有力证据,在固定的半径或表面重力下,较暖的白矮星始终比较冷的对象具有更大的引力红移。对于较暖的白矮星,我们发现它们的平均半径更大,平均表面重力更小,分别达到5.2σ和6.0σ的显著性水平。在选取具有相似半径或表面重力的白矮星时,按半径和表面重力分箱的测量中,较暖和较冷样本之间平均引力红移差异的显著性分别大于6.1σ和大于3.6σ,且方向与理论预测一致。这比以往隐式探测有所改进,我们的技术可以扩展到利用未来的巡天精确测试白矮星质量-半径关系。

英文摘要:

Models predict that the well-studied mass-radius relation of white dwarf stars depends on the temperature of the star, with hotter white dwarfs having larger masses at a given radius than cooler stars. In this paper, we use a catalog of 26,041 DA white dwarfs observed in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Releases 1-19. We measure the radial velocity, effective temperature, surface gravity, and radius for each object. By binning this catalog in radius or surface gravity, we average out the random motion component of the radial velocities for nearby white dwarfs to isolate the gravitational redshifts for these objects and use them to directly measure the mass-radius relation. For gravitational redshifts measured from binning in either radius or surface gravity, we find strong evidence for a temperature-dependent mass-radius relation, with warmer white dwarfs consistently having greater gravitational redshifts than cool objects at a fixed radius or surface gravity. For warm white dwarfs, we find that their mean radius is larger and mean surface gravity is smaller than those of cool white dwarfs at 5.2σ and 6.0σ significance, respectively. Selecting white dwarfs with similar radii or surface gravities, the significance of the difference in mean gravitational redshifts between the warm and cool samples is >6.1σ and >3.6σ for measurements binned in radius and surface gravity, respectively, in the direction predicted by theory. This is an improvement over previous implicit detections, and our technique can be expanded to precisely test the white dwarf mass-radius relation with future surveys.
