关于仙王座β型变星的脉动激发机制

仙王座β型变星是一类上部主序的短周期内因变星，找到它们及其它早型变星的脉动激发机制是一个长期未能解决的问题．新发表的不透明度表格ＯＰＡＬ比早期的表格有显著的提高，这样不透明度机制似乎就能够解释仙王座β型变星的脉动．本文用线性径向非绝热脉动理论研究了仙王座β型星的脉动稳定性，检查了不透明度机制，用的不透明度是对ＯＰＡＬ表格的一种分析逼近，但计算的十阶以下脉动模式都是稳定的．由于未能证实别人得到的脉动不稳定性，所以我们怀疑不透明度机制可能还不足以激发仙王座β型星，因而给它们的激发机制下一个肯定的结论似乎还为时过早．我们认为对仙王座β型星的脉动起因，有必要进一步研究不透明度机制或别的脉动激发机制．     

湍动对流与变星脉动稳定性

对低温变星的脉动激发机制中的一些争议问题进行了评述:(1)大多数人相信γDoradus型变星是由所谓的阻塞对流机制所激发.研究表明,γDoradus和δScuti变星的激发机制不存在任何实质性的差别,他们是更大一类δScuti-γDoradus变星的2个次群:δScuti变星是p模脉动子群;而γDoradus是g模脉动子群.(2)大多数人相信太阳5分钟振荡和恒星的类太阳振荡被对流所阻尼,他们是由所谓湍流随机激发机制驱动的.研究表明,对流并非单纯只是脉动的阻尼机制,否则无法解释Mira变星和类Mira变星.利用非局部和非定常的恒星对流理论,不仅可以重现δScuti和γDoradus脉动不稳定区,也可重现低光度红巨星的类太阳振荡和高光度红巨星的类Mira振荡特性.     

恒星类太阳和类长周期变星脉动激发机制的理论探讨

利用一种非局部和非定常的恒星对流理论,计算了0.6～3.0 M☉恒星演化模型的线性非绝热脉动.结果表明,赫罗图上脉动不稳定带右方的脉动不稳定的低温恒星可以分成2大类(群).一类由主序矮星、亚巨星和中低光度红巨星组成的类太阳振荡恒星,它们的中高阶(径向阶nr≥12)p模是脉动不稳定的,而低阶(nr≤ 5)模是脉动稳定的;另一类是由亮的红巨星和渐近巨星支星(AGB)组成的类长周期变星,它们的低阶模(nr≤5)是脉动不稳定的,而高阶模(nr≥12)却是脉动稳定的.能利用对流与脉动的耦合统一解释造父变星脉动不稳定带红边界、类太阳和类长周期变星脉动.对赫罗图右方的低温恒星的中低阶p模振荡,对流与脉动的耦合是主要的脉动激发和阻尼机制,而湍流的随机激发机制仅对类太阳振荡高阶p模重要.

The effect of artificial viscosity on a hydrodynamic model of Cepheids

The effect of artificial viscosity on a hydrodynamic simulation of stellar radial pulsation is examined for the purpose of studying the dependence of the modal coupling on the sharpness of the shock front. The model used in our study is a 2.5-d first-overtone pulsator in the Cepheid instability strip. By increasing the parameters in the von Neumann–Richtmyer formula of artificial viscosity, we obtained a low growth rate together with a small pulsation amplitude. The time-scale related to pulsation mode-switching is also increased.     

On the effect of turbulent anisotropy on pulsation stability of stars

Within the framework of a non-local time-dependent stellar convection theory, we study in detail the effect of turbulent anisotropy on stellar pulsation stability. The results show that anisotropy has no substantial influence on pulsation stability of g modes and low-order(radial order n_r 5) p modes.The effect of turbulent anisotropy increases as the radial order increases. When turbulent anisotropy is neglected, most high-order(n r 5) p modes of all low-temperature stars become unstable. Fortunately,within a wide range of the anisotropic parameter c_3, stellar pulsation stability is not sensitive to the specific value of c_3. Therefore it is safe to say that calibration errors of the convective parameter c_3 do not cause any uncertainty in the calculation of stellar pulsation stability.     

The semi-detached binary system IU Per and its intrinsic oscillation

We present a long-term time-resolved photometry of the short-period eclipsing binary IU Per. It confirms the intrinsic δ Scuti-like pulsation of the system reported by Kim et al.. With the obtained data, an orbital period study and an eclipsing light curve synthesis based on the Wilson-Devinney method were carried out. The photometric so- lution reveals a semi-detached configuration with the less-massive component filling its own Roche-lobe. By subtracting the eclipsing light changes from the data, we obtained the pure pulsating light curve of the mass-accreting primary component. A Fourier anal- ysis reveals four pulsation modes with confidence larger than 99%. A mode identification based on the results of the photometric solution was made. It suggests that the star may be in radial pulsation with a fundamental period of about 0.0628 d. A brief discussion concerning the evolutionary status and the pulsation nature is finally given.     

The rapidly oscillating Ap star HD 99563 and its distorted dipole pulsation mode

We undertook a time-series photometric multisite campaign for the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star HD 99563 and also acquired mean light observations over four seasons. The pulsations of the star, which show flatter light maxima than minima, can be described with a frequency quintuplet centred on 1557.653 μHz and some first harmonics of it. The amplitude of the pulsation is modulated with the rotation period of the star that we determine with 2.91179 ± 0.00007 d from the analysis of the stellar pulsation spectrum and of the mean light data. We break up the distorted oscillation mode into its pure spherical harmonic components and find it is dominated by the ℓ= 1 pulsation, and also has a notable ℓ= 3 contribution, with weak ℓ= 0 and 2 components. The geometrical configuration of the star allows us to see both pulsation poles for about the same amount of time; HD 99563 is only the fourth roAp star for which both pulsation poles are seen and only the third where the distortion of the pulsation modes has been modelled. We point out that HD 99563 is very similar to the well-studied roAp star HR 3831. Finally, we note that the visual companion of HD 99563 is located in the δ Scuti instability strip and may thus show pulsation. We show that if the companion was physical, the roAp star would be a 2.03-M_⊙, object, seen at a rotational inclination of 44°, which then predicts a magnetic obliquity     .     

Nonlinear models of pulsation and mass loss

We briefly discuss the current status of our radiation-hydrodynamical models of pulsation in various stellar objects and of dust-driven mass loss in LPVs. We emphasize the importance of a future combined modelling of pulsation and mass loss in AGB stars which has to be based on reliable physical and numerical methods.     

中等质量富金属AGB长周期变星的振动研究

本文采用恒星演化计算与恒星振动计算相结合的方法，对中等质量富金属恒星演化到渐近巨星分支时的振动性质进行了分析研究，从理论上得出这类恒星的振动方式是处于一阶谐频振动，而振动的激发则是在氢电离区和氦的二次电离区由多种机制共同作用造成的，同时提出很长周期的ＡＧＢ长周期变星只能是由中等质量恒星演化到ＡＧＢ阶段形成的。我们的理论计算结果还比较支持在ＡＧＢ顶端存在巨大星风物质损失的观点，且这种星风物质损失很可能与恒星振动有关。     

Pulsation periods and critical frequencies in low gravity yellow supergiant models

It is shown that the coincidence between the pulsation periods and the critical frequencies found by Fadeyev (1982) results from strong effects of non-adiabaticity on the linear pulsation periods in low surface gravity models. If we apply the boundary condition of running waves for super-critical pulsations, it is found that the linear growth-rates are considerably affected by the boundary condition.     

O-bearing Molecules in Carbon-rich Proto-Planetary Objects

We use high-precision multiband photometric data of the first-overtone RR Lyrae star U Comae to investigate the predictive capability of full-amplitude, nonlinear, convective hydrodynamical models. The main outcome of this investigation is that theoretical predictions properly account for the luminosity variations along a full pulsation cycle. Moreover, we find that this approach, because of the strong dependence of this observable and of the pulsation period on stellar parameters, supplies tight constraints on stellar mass, effective temperature, and distance modulus. Pulsational estimates of these parameters appear in good agreement with empirical ones. Finally, a well-defined bump just before the luminosity maximum gave the unique opportunity to calibrate the turbulent convection model adopted for handling the coupling between pulsation and convection.     

Bifurcation in hydrodynamic models of stellar pulsation

Phenomena of bifurcation in hydrodynamic stellar models of radial pulsation are reviewed. By changing control parameters of models, we can see qualitatively different pulsation behaviors in hydrodynamic models with transitions due to various types of bifurcation.In weakly dissipative models (classical Cepheids), the bifurcation is induced by modal resonances. Two types of the modal resonances found in models are discussed: The higherharmonic resonances of the second overtone mode in the fundamental mode pulsator and of the fourth overtone mode in the first overtone pulsator are relevant to observations. The subharmonic resonance between the fundamental and first overtone modes is confirmed in classical Cepheid models.In strongly dissipative models (less-massive supergiant stars), the bifurcation of nonlinear pulsation is induced by the hydrodynamics of ionization zones as well as modal resonances. The sequence of the bifurcation sometimes leads to chaotic behaviors in nonlinear pulsation. The transition routes from regular to the chaotic pulsations found in models are discussed with respect to the theory of chaos in simple dynamical systems: The cascade of period-doubling bifurcation is confirmed to cause chaotic pulsation in W Virginis models. For models of higher luminosity, the tangent bifurcation is found to lead intermittent chaos.Finally, hydrodynamic models for chaotic pulsation with small amplitudes observed in the post-AGB stars are briefly discussed.
