蓝色大振幅脉动星(BLAPs)是罕见的、炽热的短周期脉动恒星,其快速振荡为恒星内部和大气提供了独特的探测手段。本文通过结合OGLE、KMTNet和DREAMS巡天的光变曲线,研究了银河系核球中的两颗短周期BLAPs:OGLE-BLAP-142(周期约6.6分钟)和OGLE-BLAP-148(周期约7.5分钟),数据覆盖17年,采样间隔从分钟到小时再到天不等。我们对它们的光变曲线进行了广义Lomb-Scargle周期图分析,并在每颗BLAP中识别出三个间隔约1%的紧密排列的脉动模式。主导模式可以在约一年的时间尺度内发生切换,并伴随可能的蓝向颜色偏移(约0.1–0.2星等)。已分辨模式族的年度周期漂移意味着视在|Ṗ/P|值约为10⁻⁶–10⁻⁴ yr⁻¹,其大小足以模拟或超过平滑的演化周期变化。OGLE-BLAP-148中的一个模式族显示出约10⁻⁵ yr⁻¹水平的连贯十年漂移,但该漂移无法外推到最早和最晚的历元,这表明是瞬态模式族漂移而非长期演化。这种紧密间隔的多重脉动和模式切换在周期短于10分钟的BLAPs中可能很常见,其物理起源仍不清楚。
英文摘要
Blue large-amplitude pulsators (BLAPs) are rare, hot, short-period pulsating stars whose rapid oscillations provide a unique probe of stellar interiors and atmospheres. In this paper, we study two short-period BLAPs in the Galactic bulge, OGLE-BLAP-142 ($P \approx 6.6$ min) and OGLE-BLAP-148 ($P \approx 7.5$ min), by combining light curves from the OGLE, KMTNet, and DREAMS surveys, spanning 17 years with cadences ranging from minutes to hours to days. We perform Generalized Lomb-Scargle periodogram analyses of their light curves and identify, for each BLAP, three closely spaced pulsation modes separated by $\sim 1\%$. The dominant mode can switch within timescales of order a year, accompanied by a likely blueward color shift ($\sim 0.1$--$0.2$ mag). The yearly period excursions of the resolved mode families imply apparent $|\dot{P}/P|$ values of order $10^{-6}$--$10^{-4}\,\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$, large enough to mimic or exceed smooth evolutionary period changes. One mode family in OGLE-BLAP-148 shows a coherent decade-long drift at the $\sim10^{-5}\,\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$ level, but its failure to extrapolate to the earliest and latest epochs suggests a transient mode-family drift rather than secular evolution. Such close-spaced multiple pulsations and mode switching may be common among BLAPs with periods shorter than 10 min, and their physical origin remains unclear.
