恒星米粒组织会产生与谱线相关的波长位移和轮廓变化，这限制了用于系外行星探测与表征的径向速度（RV）测量精度。因此，理解单条谱线对米粒组织的灵敏度如何依赖于恒星参数，对于减轻米粒组织诱发的径向速度信号至关重要。本研究利用包含小尺度发电机的MURaM三维磁流体动力学模拟，探究金属丰度$\mathrm{M/H}=\{-1.0,-0.5,0.0,0.3,0.5\}$的影响。我们假设局域热力学平衡，采用MPS-ATLAS代码合成了涵盖低激发电位和跃迁概率范围较广的中性与电离谱线的光谱。我们利用谱线重心波长的连续谱强度加权标准差和等值宽度的连续谱强度加权标准差，分别记为$\sigma_\lambda$和$\sigma_W$，来量化对米粒组织的灵敏度。由于对流更剧烈以及线透明度随金属丰度变化的共同作用，在日心处这两个度量指标均随金属丰度系统性增加。我们发现，从日心到恒星边缘，太阳（$\mathrm{M/H}=0.0$）与非太阳灵敏度度量之间的相关性仍然很高。这表明，谱线灵敏度的相对排序对观测视角和金属丰度的变化具有鲁棒性。因此，只要恒星具有太阳有效温度和表面重力，基于太阳光谱校准的线掩模就可可靠应用于非太阳金属丰度恒星的径向速度测量。
英文摘要
Stellar granulation imprints line-dependent wavelength shifts and profile variations that limit the precision of radial velocity (RV) measurements used for exoplanet detection and characterization. Understanding how the sensitivity of individual spectral lines to granulation depends on stellar parameters is therefore essential for mitigating granulation-induced RV signals. Here, we investigate the effect of metallicity using MURaM 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of stellar granulation including a small-scale dynamo for metallicities $\mathrm{M/H}=\{-1.0,-0.5,0.0,0.3,0.5\}$. We synthesize spectra of neutral and ionized lines spanning a broad range of lower excitation potentials and transition probabilities using the MPS-ATLAS code, assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium. We quantify the sensitivity to granulation using the continuum-intensity-weighted standard deviations of the line centre-of-gravity wavelength and equivalent width, denoted by $σ_λ$ and $σ_W$, respectively. Both metrics increase systematically with metallicity at disc centre owing to the combined effects of more vigorous convection and metallicity-dependent changes in the line opacity. We find that the correlation between the solar ($\mathrm{M/H}=0.0$) and non-solar sensitivity metrics remains high from the disk center to the stellar limb. This indicates that the relative ordering of line sensitivities is robust against changes in viewing angle and metallicity. Consequently, line masks calibrated on the solar spectrum can be reliably applied to radial-velocity measurements of stars with non-solar metallicities, provided they have solar effective temperature and surface gravity.
