The Mt. Suhora M dwarf survey searching for pulsations in low mass main sequence stars has acquired CCD photometry of 46 M dwarf stars during the first year of the project (Baran et al., 2011). As a by-product of this search hundreds field stars have been checked for variability. This paper presents our initial result of a search for periodic variables in field stars observed in the course of the survey. On the basis of the periodicity and the shape of the light curves, eight new variables has been detected, among which five are δ Scuti stars and three likely RR Lyrae stars. Although variation in one of the stars has been previously detected, it was classified incorrectly. To support our classification, in August 2010, we performed spectroscopic observations to derive spectral types and luminosity classes for all eight variable stars. 相似文献

The first generation of stars was formed from primordial gas. Numerical simulations suggest that the first stars were predominantly very massive, with typical masses M≥100M
⊙. These stars were responsible for the reionization of the universe, the initial enrichment of the intergalactic medium with
heavy elements, and other cosmological consequences. In this work, we study the structure of Zero Age Main-Sequence stars
for a wide mass and metallicity range and the evolution of 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300M
⊙ galactic and pregalactic Pop III very massive stars without mass loss, with metallicity Z=10−6 and 10−9, respectively. Using a stellar evolution code, a system of 10 equations together with boundary conditions are solved simultaneously.
For the change of chemical composition, which determines the evolution of a star, a diffusion treatment for convection and
semiconvection is used. A set of 30 nuclear reactions are solved simultaneously with the stellar structure and evolution equations.
Several results on the main sequence, and during the hydrogen and helium burning phases, are described. Low-metallicity massive
stars are hotter and more compact and luminous than their metal-enriched counterparts. Due to their high temperatures, pregalactic
stars activate sooner the triple alpha reaction self-producing their own heavy elements. Both galactic and pregalactic stars
are radiation pressure dominated and evolve below the Eddington luminosity limit with short lifetimes. The physical characteristics
of the first stars have significant influence in predictions of the ionizing photon yields from the first luminous objects;
also they develop large convective cores with important helium core masses which are important for explosion calculations. 相似文献

A revision of Stodółkiewicz's Monte Carlo code is used to simulate the evolution of million-body star clusters. The new method treats each superstar as a single star and follows the evolution and motion of all individual stellar objects. The evolution of N -body systems influenced by the tidal field of a parent galaxy and by stellar evolution is presented. All models consist of 1 000 000 stars. The process of energy generation is realized by means of appropriately modified versions of Spitzer's and Mikkola's formulae for the interaction cross-section between binaries and field stars and binaries themselves. The results presented are in good agreement with theoretical expectations and the results of other methods. During the evolution, the initial mass function (IMF) changes significantly. The local mass function around the half-mass radius closely resembles the actual global mass function. At the late stages of evolution, the mass of the evolved stars inside the core can be as high as 97 per cent of the total mass in this region. For the whole system, the evolved stars can compose up to 75 per cent of the total mass. The evolution of cluster anisotropy strongly depends on initial cluster concentration, IMF and the strength of the tidal field. The results presented are the first step in the direction of simulating the evolution of real globular clusters by means of the Monte Carlo method. 相似文献

We study the circumstances under which first collisions occur in young and dense star clusters. The initial conditions for our direct N -body simulations are chosen such that the clusters experience core collapse within a few million years, before the most massive stars have left the main sequence. It turns out that the first collision is typically driven by the most massive stars in the cluster. Upon arrival in the cluster core, by dynamical friction, massive stars tend to form binaries. The enhanced cross-section of the binary compared to a single star causes other stars to engage the binary. A collision between one of the binary components and the incoming third star is then mediated by the encounters between the binary and other cluster members. Due to the geometry of the binary–single star engagement the relative velocity at the moment of impact is substantially different than in a two-body encounter. This may have profound consequences for the further evolution of the collision product. 相似文献

The stars that will be detectable in the Magellanic Clouds by the DENIS and 2MASS near infrared surveys are enumerated. All thermally-pulsing AGB stars will be observable in I, J, H and K, along with the top two magnitudes of both the early-AGB and the first giant branch. All carbon stars will be visible, and normal (N type) C stars will be easily distinguished by their large J-K colours. However, it will not be possible to separate faint, warm C stars from K and M stars using the photometry alone. Photometry of AGB stars in clusters will allow an accurate evaluation of the AGB tip luminosities as a function of initial mass. Random phase K magnitudes of LPVs and Cepheids should provide a better measure of the LMC tilt and distortions in the SMC. The K survey should turn up 100 to 150 objects undergoing superwind mass loss, these objects being OH/IR stars and the dust-enshrouded C star equivalents of OH/IR stars. It is shown that crowding should not be a problem even in the LMC bar. 相似文献

Using the magnetic dipole method, magnetic field models of eight stars were built in order to obtain additional information about the features of the magnetic field structures in CP stars. These data are necessary to clarify the conditions of star formation in the early stages of stellar evolution. We noticed a large variety of initial conditions that lead to a strong scatter of parameters of magnetic stars and magnetic structures. 相似文献

Model calculations of the photometric evolution of rather dense stellar systems, such as globular clusters, are presented.
On “luminosity-effective temperature” diagrams of these systems, low-mass stars are concentrated near the minimum and maximum
temperatures for a given luminosity and are deficient in the intermediate region. This sort of double-peaked distribution
of the stars can be avoided in open models with ejection of excess metals into the surrounding medium. The distributions of
the stars with respect to effective temperature on a “ luminosity-effective temperature” diagram are sensitive to the history
of star formation in the system and to possible time variations in the initial mass function. In open systems with a single-peak
distribution function, the asymmetry in the distribution varies over wide limits with the lower bound for the initial mass
function and this can be used to establish whether the first generations of stars might have been more massive than in the
present epoch.

This is the final paper on a study of the magnetic field structure of CP stars with long rotation periods. It is first demonstrated
that the orientation and strength of the magnetic field have no effect on their rotation velocity. The orientation of the
dipole structures in slow magnetic rotators is shown to be random, as it is in fast rotators. The hypothesis that magnetic
stars are slowed down under the influence of the magnetic field is called into question. The origin of CP stars is probably
related to their initial slow rotation.

确定银河系的年龄是现代天体物理学的一项基本任务。其方法之一是核纪年法，即通过恒星中某一长寿命放射性元素的丰度随时间的变化来确定恒星的年龄，并以此作为银河系年龄的下限，其中目前的观测丰度来自恒星的光谱分析，恒星形成时的初始丰度来自理论模型的预言。这种方法最初是利用元素对Th／Nd来确定G矮星的年龄，近年来开始利用元素对Th／Eu和U／Th来确定晕族场星和球状星团内恒星的年龄。简要介绍了核纪年法确定银河系年龄的原理，回顾了恒星中Th和U的观测研究，其中着重介绍了极贫金属星的研究。详细讨论了用核纪年法估计银河系年龄的不确定性。作为与核纪年法的比较，简单介绍了确定银河系年龄的其他方法。提出了今后需要进一步研究的几项工作。 相似文献

We analyse the phase-space structure of simulated thick discs that are the result of a 5:1 mass-ratio merger between a disc galaxy and a satellite. Our main goal is to establish what would be the imprints of a merger origin for the Galactic thick disc. We find that the spatial distribution predicted for thick-disc stars is asymmetric, seemingly in agreement with recent observations of the Milky Way thick disc. Near the Sun, the accreted stars are expected to rotate more slowly, to have broad velocity distributions and to occupy preferentially the wings of the line-of-sight velocity distributions. The majority of the stars in our model thick discs have low eccentricity orbits (in clear reference to the pre-existing heated disc) which give rise to a characteristic (sinusoidal) pattern for their line-of-sight velocities as a function of galactic longitude. The z -component of the angular momentum of thick-disc stars provides a clear discriminant between stars from the pre-existing disc and those from the satellite, particularly at large radii. These results are robust against the particular choices of initial conditions made in our simulations. 相似文献

First generation stars are the oldest stars that were formed in post-big bang, primitive gas, containing no elements heavier than carbon, with ages greater than 14 Gyr and having undergone no evolution so far. Observations over a long time have confirmed that, up to now, no stars with zero metallicity ([Fe/H]) or with [Fe/H]≤ −6 have been found in the Galaxy. To explain this absence, we shall make a theoretical calculation of the probability of detecting first generation stars using Tsuiimoto et al.'s model of chemical evolution of the galactic halo and assuming an initial mass function of the Miller-Scalo form. We use all the observational data on the halo stars to constrain the parameters. Our result is that, if the mass of the cloud that formed the stars is 106–107 M, then the probability of detecting first generation stars is 6.14×10−4–6.14×10−5. 相似文献

We follow the chemical evolution of a galaxy through star formation and its feedback into the interstellar medium (ISM), starting from primordial gas and allowing for gas to inflow into the region being modelled. We attempt to reproduce observed spectral line strengths for early-type galaxies in order to constrain their star formation histories (SFH). The efficiencies and times of star formation are varied, as are the amount and duration of inflow. We evaluate the chemical enrichment and the mass of stars made with time. Single stellar population (SSP) data are then used to predict line strengths for composite stellar populations. The results are compared with observed line strengths in 10 ellipticals, including some features which help to break the problem of age–metallicity degeneracy in old stellar populations. We find that the elliptical galaxies modelled require high metallicity SSPs (> 3 Z⊙) at later times. In addition, the strong lines observed cannot be produced by an initial starburst in primordial gas, even if a large amount of inflow is allowed for during the first few × 108 yr. This is because some pre-enrichment is required for lines in the bulk of the stars to approach the observed line strengths in ellipticals. These strong lines are better modelled by a system with a delayed burst of star formation, following an early SFH which can be a burst or more steady star formation. Such a model is representative of star formation in normal ellipticals or spirals, respectively, followed by a starburst and gas inflow during a merger or strong interaction with a gas-rich galaxy. Alternatively, a single initial burst of normal stars with a Salpeter initial mass function could produce the observed strong lines if it followed some pre-enrichment process which did not form long-lived stars (e.g. population III stars). 相似文献

The abundances of heavy elements in EMP stars are not well explained by the simple view of an initial basic “rapid” process. In a careful and homogeneous analysis of the “First Stars” sample (eighty per cent of the stars have a metallicity [Fe/H] ≃ –3.1 ± 0.4), it has been shown that at this metallicity [Eu/Ba] is constant, and therefore the europium‐rich stars (generally called “r‐rich”) are also Ba‐rich. The very large variation of [Ba/Fe] (existence of “r‐poor” and “r‐rich” stars) induces that the early matter was not perfectly mixed. On the other hand, the distribution of the values of [Sr/Ba] vs. [Ba/Fe] appears with well defined upper and lower envelopes. No star was found with [Sr/Ba] < –0.5 and the scatter of [Sr/Ba] increases regularly when [Ba/Fe] decreases. To explain this behavior, we suggest that an early “additional” process forming mainly first peak elements would affect the initial composition of the matter. For a same quantity of accreted matter, this additional Sr production would barely affect the r‐rich matter (which already contains an important quantity of Sr) but would change significantly the composition of the r‐poor matter. The abundances found in the CEMP‐r+s stars reflect the transfer of heavy elements from a defunct AGB companion. But the abundances of the heavy elements in CEMP‐no stars present the same characteristics as the the abundances in the EMP stars. Direct stellar ages may be found from radioactive elements, the precision is limited by the precision in the measurements of abundances from faint lines in faint stars, and the uncertainty in the initial abundances of the radioactive elements.

We present new population synthesis calculations of close young neutron stars. In comparison with our previous investigation
we use a different neutron star mass spectrum and different initial spatial and velocity distributions. The results confirm
that most of ROSAT dim radioquiet isolated neutron stars had their origin in the Gould Belt. We predict that about several
tens of young neutron stars can be identified in ROSAT All Sky Survey data at low galactic latitudes. Some of these sources
also can have counterparts among EGRET unidentified sources. 相似文献

On the basis of evolutionary tracks on the HR diagram the lower limit of initial mass functions for Wolf-Rayet stars are estimated. The lower limit to the initial masses of the Wolf-Rayet stars seems to be 20M
and in this respect there is no significant difference between the WN and WC stars. 相似文献

Slitless spectroscopy is used to discover 22 emission stars in the central and northwest regions of the cluster located in the NGC 7129 nebula. 16 of them are found for the first time. This sample is essentially complete up to V 20.0. The emission stars are distributed nonuniformly over the field of the cluster and are concentrated toward its center. Photometry in the V, R, and I bands is conducted on more than a hundred stars in the cluster. This yields an average absorption coefficient A
V=1.7±0.27 for this region. Based on their positions in color diagrams for the optical and near IR ranges, most of the emission stars can be regarded as T Tau objects. 相似文献

Coalescing binary neutron stars are the most promising candidates for detection by gravitational-wave detectors and are considered
to be most promising for explaining the phenomenon of short gamma-ray bursts. The magnetic fields of neutron stars during
their coalescence can produce a number of interesting observational manifestations and can affect significantly the shape
of the gravitationalwave signal. In this paper, we model the distribution of magnetic fields in coalescing neutron stars by
the population synthesis method using various assumptions about the initial parameters of the neutron stars and the evolution
laws of their magnetic fields. We discuss possible electromagnetic phenomena preceding the coalescence of magnetized neutron
stars and the effect of magnetic field energy on the shape of the gravitational-wave signal during the coalescence. For a
log-normal (Gaussian in logarithm) distribution of the initialmagnetic fields consistent with the observations of radio pulsars,
the distribution inmagnetic field energy during the coalescence is shown to describe adequately the observed luminosity function
of short gamma-ray bursts under various assumptions about the pattern of field evolution and initial parameters of neutron
stars. 相似文献

We present a literature survey of about a hundred papers concerned with “Magnetic fields and physical parameters of chemically peculiar and related stars” published mainly in 2017. We considered instrumental and methodical issues, gave first results obtained with the high-resolution PEPSI spectropolarimeter, described new programs for data reduction and analysis. New magnetic chemically peculiar stars in the Orion association were discovered, weak (of the order of one Gauss) magnetic fields were found in stars of other types. The first attempt was made to detect extragalactic magnetic stars.Magnetic fieldmaps and maps of element distribution over the surfaces of stars of different types were constructed, evolution of spots on cool stars was found. New magnetic, spectroscopic, and photometric data have been obtained for magnetic white dwarfs and degenerate stars of other types. 相似文献

A total of 85 CP stars of various types are identified among 814 members of the OriOB1 association. The fraction of CP stars decreases with age for different cluster subgroups: from 15.1% in the youngest subgroup (b) to 7.7% in the oldest one (a). Individual comments are provided for each of the 85 stars, where we analyze the physical parameters and distance of the objects. All the 23 Am stars identified as a result of this study are found to have heliocentric distances between 100 and 300 pc and appear not to be members of the OrionOB1 association, but foreground objects. We identified 59 Bp stars, which account for 13.4% of the total number of B-type stars in the association. The fraction of peculiar B-type stars in the OriOB1 association is found to be twice higher than that of peculiar A-type stars. The same is true for field stars. The association contains 22 magnetic stars, out of which 21 are Bp stars and only one is an Ap star. Seventeen of these stars are objects with anomalous helium lines. Magnetic stars show a well-defined tendency to concentrate in the central region of the association (in Orion’s Belt), which contains most of these objects. No significant differences are found between the field strengths in the B-type stars of the association and Bp-type field stars, although there is a noticeable trend for He-rich stars to have stronger fields compared to He-weak stars. We identified 17 binaries, which make up 20% of the total number of peculiar stars studied, which is the standard ratio for CP stars. Except for one HgMn star (HD35548), the radial velocities and proper motions of our identified objects are consistent with the corresponding parameters of normal B-type stars. 相似文献

The energy distribution curves of eleven Ap stars, three Am stars, four normal A stars and one F0 V magnetic star have been obtained between 478 nm and 680 nm. For four of the Ap stars, two Am stars and all the four normal A stars, the effective temperatures are believed to have been estimated for the first time. For the rest, these estimates are expected to be an improvement over previously available values.It is concluded that the Ap and Am stars are not much different from the normal A stars in so far as their temperatures are concerned. 相似文献
