Ap/Bp星的随机低频振荡研究

Study on Stochastic Low-Frequency Variability in Ap/Bp Stars

  • 摘要: Ap/Bp星指的是有效温度在8000 K到16000 K之间, 光谱类型在B8到F0之间, 并且具有较强且变化的磁场的恒星. 其表面的磁场强度从几十高斯到上万高斯不等. 随机低频振荡(Stochastic Low-Frequency Variability, SLFV)虽已在不同质量恒星中被普遍观测, 但现有研究多集中于大质量恒星. 使用TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite)空间望远镜提供的高精度的测光数据, 将SLFV研究从大质量恒星拓展至中等质量的Ap/Bp星. 结果表明样本中Ap/Bp星的SLFV所对应的斜率\gamma \lt 4.6, 绝大多数\gamma在0.5到2.5之间, 特征频率\upsilon_\mathrmchar主要在0到1.8 \mathrmd^-1范围内, 振幅\lg\alpha_0主要分布在1.2到4.0之间. 与前人的研究结果一致. 分析结果显示, Ap/Bp星的质量、半径、演化程度和其SLFV没有相关性. 与观测对比后, 将Ap/Bp星的SLFV归因于内部重力波(Internal Gravity Wave, IGW).

     

    Abstract: Ap/Bp stars refer to stars with effective temperatures between 8000 K and 16000 K, spectral types ranging from B8 to F0, and strong, variable magnetic fields. The surface magnetic field strengths of these stars vary from tens of Gauss to tens of thousands of Gauss. Stochastic low-frequency variability (SLFV) has been detected across a wide range of stellar masses, yet most studies have concentrated on massive stars. Using high-precision photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we extend SLFV studies from massive stars to intermediate-mass Ap/Bp stars. The results show that the slope \gamma of the SLFV in the sample of Ap/Bp stars is less than 4.6, with the majority of \gamma values ranging from 0.5 to 2.5. The characteristic frequency v\mathrm_char is mainly within the range of 0 to 1.8 \mathrmd^-1, and the amplitude \lg\alpha_0 is primarily distributed between 1.2 and 4.0. These findings are consistent with previous studies. The analysis reveals that there is no correlation between the mass, radius, and evolutionary stage of Ap/Bp stars and their SLFV. After comparison with the observations, we attribute the SLFV in Ap/Bp stars to internal gravity wave (IGW).
