摘要:

颗粒状特征是低质量恒星包层对流的可观察特征,构成恒星功率谱的背景。尽管在演化的巨星中已有深入研究,但主序星(MS)中的颗粒状特征研究较少。本文研究并表征了MS和SGB恒星的颗粒状特征,将之前的巨星研究扩展,提供了一个连续的物理图景。我们分析了753颗开普勒短间隔恒星,使用贝叶斯嵌套采样框架评估三种背景描述并比较模型偏好。这为所有参数提供了完整的后验分布,使在多样化的恒星样本中进行稳健比较成为可能。没有发现背景模型的普遍偏好。假设高斯振荡包络,ν_max估计对模型误设敏感,导致系统误差超过正式不确定性。包层宽度在不同模型中随ν_max变化,并受有效温度影响。矮星的总颗粒状振幅大致遵循巨星的标定,但主序星中较冷的恒星中颗粒状时间尺度与振荡时间尺度出现解耦。延长的颗粒状时间尺度通过K型矮星的3D模拟再现,由更高效的对流能量传输导致更密集的包层中的对流速度降低。延长的颗粒状时间尺度增加了振荡过剩频率的分离,可能有助于地震检测,而减少的对流速度可能影响恒星振荡的激发,并与冷矮星中观察到的低振幅有关。最后,我们贡献了一个链接颗粒状特征、振荡和恒星参数的数据集,为未来研究其在HR图中的相互依赖性提供了基础。

英文摘要:

Granulation is the observable signature of convection in envelopes of low-mass stars, forming the background in stellar power spectra. While well-studied in evolved giants, granulation on the MS has received less attention. We here study and characterise granulation signatures of MS and SGB stars, extending previous studies of giants to provide a continuous physical picture across evolutionary stages. We analyse 753 Kepler short-cadence stars using a Bayesian nested-sampling framework to evaluate three background descriptions and compare model preferences. This yields full posterior distributions for all parameters, enabling robust comparisons across a diverse stellar sample. No universal preference between background models is found. Assuming a Gaussian oscillation envelope, $ν_\mathrm{max}$ estimates are sensitive to model misspecification, with the resulting systematics exceeding the formal uncertainties. The envelope width scales with $ν_\mathrm{max}$ across models and shows a dependence on effective temperature. Total granulation amplitudes in dwarfs broadly follow giant-based scalings, however a decoupling appears between the timescale of the primary granulation and the oscillations for MS stars cooler than the Sun. The prolonged granulation timescale is reproduced by 3D simulations of a K-dwarf, driven by reduced convective velocities due to more efficient convective energy transport in denser envelopes. The prolonged granulation timescale increases the frequency separation to the oscillation excess, potentially aiding seismic detectability, while the reduced convective velocities may influence the excitation of stellar oscillations and relate to the low amplitudes observed in cool dwarfs. Finally, we contribute a dataset linking granulation, oscillations, and stellar parameters, providing a foundation for future investigations into their interdependence across the HR diagram.
