A technique for determining the effective temperature T eff and the acceleration of gravity log g of F and G supergiants is discussed using four bright stars as examples, specifically two F supergiants, α Lep(F0 Ib) and π Sgr (F2 II), and two G supergiants, β Aqr (G0 Ib) and α Aqr (G2 Ib). In all four cases the parameter log g was derived from the high precision parallaxes recently obtained by van Leeuwen in a new reduction of data from Hipparcos. Because of this, the accuracy of the determinations of log g is much greater than before. Estimates of the parameter T eff were checked using accurate values of T eff obtained previously by the infrared flux method (IRFM). In the case of the early F supergiants, this method confirms the good accuracy of the T eff values derived from the Balmer lines and the β-index. Measurements of the Balmer lines for the G supergiants are difficult because of strong blending, so the indices [c 1] and β serve as indicators of T eff . It is shown that the indices [c 1] and β yield a systematic difference in the values of T eff ; the IRFM confirms that deriving T eff from the index [c 1] is more accurate. Based on the values of T eff and log g that have been found here, with the aid of the evolutionary tracks, we estimate the mass M and age t of each star. The Fe II lines, which are insensitive to departures from LTE, have been used to determine the microturbulence parameter V t and the iron abundance. The latter is close to the solar iron abundance. Some problems concerning the chemical composition of these stars are discussed using the supergiant α Lep as an example. Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 52, No. 2, pp. 237–257 (May 2009).  相似文献

The outer convection zone of the low-temperature white dwarf Van Maanen 2 has been studied for two different atmospheric models given byWeidemann (1960). A slight modification of the standard mixing length theory and the abundances derived by Weidemann have been used.The thickness of the convection zone is about 8 km for the atmospheric model withT eff=5780 K,g=108 cm sec–2 and about 23 km forT eff=5040,g=3.16×107K. In both cases the temperature at the lower boundary of the convection zone is about 9.8×105K. It is shown that this temperature corresponds approximately to the transition temperatureT tr to the (almost) isothermal core of the white dwarf. This value is considerably lower than the values ofT tr discussed in the literature until now.The outer convection zone consists of an upper completely non-degenerate part and a lower part with moderate degeneracy. In this lower part the degree of degeneracy is practically independent of depth.  相似文献

The formation of Zr I and Zr II lines in stellar atmospheres under non-LTE conditions has been considered for the first time. A model zirconium atom has been composed using 148 Zr I levels, 772 Zr II levels, and the ground Zr III state. Non-LTE calculations have been performed for model atmospheres with T eff = 5500 and 6000 K, log g = 2.0 and 4.0, [M/H] = −3, −2, −1, 0. In the entire investigated range of parameters, the Zr I levels are shown to be underpopulated relative to their LTE populations in the line formation region. In contrast, the excited Zr II levels are overpopulated, while the ground state and lower excited levels of Zr II retain their LTE populations. Since the non-LTE effects cause the Zr I and Zr II spectral lines being investigated to weaken, the non-LTE corrections to the abundance derived from Zr I and Zr II lines are positive. For Zr II lines, they increase with decreasing metallicity and surface gravity up to 0.34 dex for the model with T eff = 5500, log g = 2.0, and [M/H] = −2. The non-LTE effects depend weakly on temperature. The non-LTE corrections for Zr I lines reach 0.33 dex for solar-metallicity models. Zr I and Zr II lines in the solar spectrum have been analyzed. The non-LTE zirconium abundances derived from lines in the two ionization stages are shown to agree between themselves within the error limits, while the LTE abundance difference is 0.28 dex. The zirconium abundance in the solar atmosphere (averaged over Zr I and Zr II lines) is log ɛZr,⊙ = 2.63 ± 0.07.  相似文献

Instability of population I (X = 0.7, Z = 0.02) massive stars against radial oscillations during the post-main-sequence gravitational contraction of the helium core is investigated. Initial stellar masses are in the range 65M ⊙ ≤ M ZAMS ≤ 90M ⊙. In hydrodynamic computations of self-exciting stellar oscillations we assumed that energy transfer in the envelope of the pulsating star is due to radiative heat conduction and convection. The convective heat transfer was treated in the framework of the theory of time-dependent turbulent convection. During evolutionary expansion of outer layers after hydrogen exhaustion in the stellar core the star is shown to be unstable against radial oscillations while its effective temperature is T eff > 6700 K for M ZAMS = 65M ⊙ and T eff > 7200 K for M ZAMS = 90M ⊙. Pulsational instability is due to the κ-mechanism in helium ionization zones and at lower effective temperature oscillations decay because of significantly increasing convection. The upper limit of the period of radial pulsations on this stage of evolution does not exceed ≈200 day. Radial oscillations of the hypergiant resume during evolutionary contraction of outer layers when the effective temperature is T eff > 7300 K for M ZAMS = 65M ⊙ and T eff > 7600 K for M ZAMS = 90M ⊙. Initially radial oscillations are due to instability of the first overtone and transition to fundamental mode pulsations takes place at higher effective temperatures (T eff > 7700 K for M ZAMS = 65M ⊙ and T eff > 8200 K for M ZAMS = 90M ⊙). The upper limit of the period of radial oscillations of evolving blueward yellow hypergiants does not exceed ≈130 day. Thus, yellow hypergiants are stable against radial stellar pulsations during the major part of their evolutionary stage.  相似文献

A large surge event appearing in AR 5395 was observed at the Yunnan Observatory on March 19, 1989. H spectral profiles of the event are interpreted by using a two-cloud model and the contours of three parameters: excitation temperature, T exc, microturbulent velocity, V t ,and column density of hydrogen atoms at the second level, N 0,2, are obtained, respectively. The question about the unique feature of the solution obtained by the fitting method is also discussed. The results show that the surge is composed of some conglomerated materials with higher temperature and density; the mass ejection is probably intermittent. Neither T exc nor N 0,2 vary with the height over the solar limb but decrease from the center to the periphery of the surge. V t varies from 10 to 30 km s-1 and decreases with height. Some other important parameters, such as electron density, n e ,and electron pressure, P e ,etc., have also been estimated. In the surge, with N 0,2 about 2.0 × 1012 cm-2 and T exc about 8500 K on average, we obtained n e = 1.80 × 1010 cm-3 and P e = 0.023 dyn cm-2. The energy variations of the surge during the ascending phase are estimated.  相似文献

The spectral energy distributions between λ 3700 Å and λ 8100 Å of the binary systems COU1289 and COU1291 have been measured with the Carl‐Zeiss‐Jena 1 m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory. Their B, V, R magnitudes and B – V colour indices were computed and compared with earlier investigations. Model atmospheres of both systems were constructed using a grid of Kurucz blanketed models, their spectral energy distributions in the continuous spectrum were computed and compared with the observational ones. The model atmosphere parameters for the components of COU1289 were derived as: T aeff = 7100 K, T beff = 6300 K, log g a = 4.22, log g b = 4.22, R a = 1.50 R⊙, R b = 1.40 R⊙, and for the components of COU1291 as: T aeff = 6400 K, T beff = 6100 K, log g a = 4.20, log g b = 4.35, R a = 1.47 R⊙, R b = 1.12 R⊙. The spectral types of both components of the system COU1289 were concluded as F1 and F7, and of the system COU1291 as F6 and F9. Finally the formation and evolution of the systems were discussed.

A comparison between model atmosphere grids with and without metal blanketing has been performed in the low-temperature range (T eff=6000 K to 10000 K) and for different metal contents (logA=0, –1, –2;A=scaled solar abundance). ForA10–1 andT eff7000 K, the Johnson colour indicesU-B andB-V, together with the Strömgrenu-b, b-y and the bolometric correction (BC) are little affected by metal blanketing ( mag<0 . m 04). On the other hand, the trend of the physical quantities and them 1 andc 1 colour indices reflect the inadequateness of the models even withA=10–2 andT eff=9500 K, where hydrogen line blanketing is expected to dominate. This fact discourages once and for all the use of metal unblanketed atmospheres other than for comparison of colour indices or the calculation of bolometric corrections for Population II A-F spectral types.  相似文献

We present a software package developed for the automatic 4-D stellar parameterization. The package can be adopted to virtually any multicolour photometric system. Procedure of simultaneous determination of T eff, log g, [M/H] and E B-V is very flexible and can be performed by applying various photometric parameters(magnitudes, colour indices etc.). Any changes of the photometric systems, weighting schemes or parameterization criteria can be implemented easily. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

We present preliminary results on spectroscopic data of the candidate pre-cataclysmic variable LTT 560. A fit to the flux-calibrated spectrum reveals the temperature of the white-dwarf primary to be T eff=7000–7500 K, and confirms the result of previous studies on the detection of an M5V secondary star. The analysis of radial velocity data from spectral features attributed to the primary and the secondary star show evidence for low-level accretion.  相似文献

Cross correlations between observed and synthetic spectra are used to discover yet another satellite of BM Ori with the following characteristics: effective temperature Teff = 4000 K, radius R = 16R⊙, mass M = 1.8M⊙, spectral type K7 III, absolute bolometric stellar magnitude Mb = + 4m·0, axial rotation velocity V sini = 85 km/s, and relative luminosity 0.005 near the V band. __________ Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 49, No. 1, pp. 111–120 (February 2006).  相似文献

The method of effective temperatureT eff and logg determination for DA-white dwarfs by KSW model atmospheres is analyzed. The existence of systematic errors in logg determination, leading to lower mass values forT eff>15000 K, is demonstrated. With due account to logg corrections, masses for 355 DA-dwarfs were evaluated. The influence of the effects of observational selection on mass distribution has been considered. These effects are connected with the fact that such selection on effects favour discovery of white dwarfs of low masses. The distribution obtained is characterized by the average mass of ～0.75M ⊙ and the distribution width of ～0.20M ⊙.  相似文献

A method for determining the effective temperature T eff of G- and K-type giants and supergiants is proposed. The method is based on the use of two photometric indices free from the interstellar absorption influence: the Q index in the UBV photometric system and the [c 1] index in the uvby system. Empirical relations between the T eff values found for nearby and bright G- and K-type giants and supergiants with the use of the infrared fluxes method (IRFM), on the one hand, and the observed Q and [c 1] indices for these stars, on the other hand, are plotted. A systematic discrepancy between the dependences of T eff on Q for the stars with standard and reduced metallicities is found. Approximating the plotted dependences with second-order polynomials, one can obtain a relatively simple and a rather accurate method for determining the T eff value in the range of 3800 ≤ T ≤ 5100 K (based on the Q index) or 4900 ≤ T eff ≤ 5500 K (based on the [c 1] index).  相似文献

It is shown that the infrared flux method for determining stellar effective temperatures (Blackwell and Shallis 1977; Blackwell, Petford and Shallis 1980) can be applied to cool carbon stars. Although the spectra of cool carbon stars are highly line blanketed, the spectral region between 3 and 4 μm (L-band in the infrared photometry system) is found to be relatively free from strong line absorption. The ratioR L of bolometric flux toL flux can then be used as a measure of effective temperature. On the basis of the predicted line-blanketed flux based on model atmospheres, with an empirical correction for the effect of 3 μm absorption due to polyatomic species (HCN, C2H2), it is shown thatR L is roughly proportional to T3 eff. The high sensitivity ofR L to Teff makes it a very good measure of effective temperature, and the usual difficulty due to differential line blanketing effect in the analyses of photometric indices of cool carbon stars can be minimized. It is found that the majority of N-type carbon stars with small variability (SRb and Lb variables) are confined to the effective temperature range between 2400 and 3200 K, in contrast to M-giant stars (M0 III - M6 III, including SRb and Lb variables) that are confined to the effective temperature range between 3200 and 3900 K. The effective temperatures based on the infrared flux method show good agreement with those derived directly from angular diameter measurements of 5 carbon stars. On the basis of the new effective temperature scale for carbon stars, it is shown that the well known C-classification does not represent a temperature sequence. On the other hand, colour temperatures based on various photometric indices all show good correlations with our derived effective temperatures. An erratum to this article is available at .  相似文献

On the basis of the effective temperature scale proposed previously for cool carbon stars (Paper I), other intrinsic properties of them are examined in detail. It is shown that the major spectroscopic properties of cool carbon stars, including those of molecular bands due to polyatomic species (SiC2, HCN, C2H2 etc.), can most consistently be understood on the basis of our new effective temperature scale and the theoretical prediction of chemical equilibrium. Various photometric indices of cool carbon stars also appear to be well correlated with the new effective temperatures. Furthermore, as effective temperatures of some 30 carbon stars are now obtained, the calibration of any photometric index is straightforward, and some examples of such a calibration are given. In general, colour index-effective temperature calibrations for carbon stars are quite different from those for K-M giant stars. It is found that the intrinsic (R —I)0 colour is nearly the same for N-irregular variables in spite of a considerable spread in effective temperatures, and this fact is used to estimate the interstellar reddening of carbon stars. An observational HR diagram of red giant stars, including carbon stars as well as K-M giant stars, is obtained on the basis of our colour index-effective temperature calibrations and the best estimations of luminosities. It is shown that carbon stars and M giant stars are sharply divided in the HR diagram by a nearly vertical line at aboutT eff = 3200 K (logT eff = 3.50) and the carbon stars occupy the upper right region of M giant stars (except for some high luminosity, high temperature J-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds; also Mira variables are not considered). Such an observational HR diagram of red giant stars shows rather a poor agreement with the current stellar evolution models. Especially, a more efficient mixing process in red giant stars, as compared with those ever proposed, is required to explain the formation of carbon stars.  相似文献

The dependence on the temperature of photospheric line‐depth ratios (LDRs) in the spectral range 6190–6280 Å is investigated by using a sample of 174 ELODIE Archive stellar spectra of luminosity class from V to III. The rotational broadening effect on LDRs is also studied. We provide useful calibrations of effective temperature versus LDRs for giant and main sequence stars with 3800 ≃ Teff ≃6000 K and v sin i in the range 0–30 km s–1. We found that, with the exception of very few line pairs, LDRs, measured at a spectral resolution as high as 42 000, depend on v sin i and that, by neglecting the rotational broadening effect, the Teff determination can be wrong by ∼100 K in the worst cases.

General properties of Luminous Blue Variables (LBV) have been reviewed by Lamers(1987). The LBV's are all close to the Humphreys-Davidson luminosity upper limit. The semi periods of the photometric microvariations withV 0.1 m are about twice as large as for normal supergiants of the sameL andT eff, and 4–20 times larger than the fundamental mode for radial pulsations. So, it is likely due to nonradial pulsations. During shell ejections, which accompanied by moderate photometric variations ofV 1 m ,L bol remains constant. This fact has been explained by the quasiperiodic variations ofT eff and the radius of pseudo-photosphere (Lamer 1986). LBV's are less stable than normal supergiants so that any internal instability has more effect on their envelopes. The nature of these instabilities remains unknown. We have found some interesting peculiarities which can throw light to this problem.  相似文献

HD 147010, which is in the reflection nebula vd B 102, has been found to be a hot Ap silicon star rather than a normal A supergiant. From theUBV and JHK photometry of the star, colour excessE(B - V) of 0.29 and the ratio of total-to-selective absorptionR of 4.3 have been obtained. The high value ofR implies bigger grain size and also confirms the association of the star with the nebula. The dereddened colours of the star can be fitted to a theoretical energy distribution with Teff = 13000 ± 500 K and logg = 3.6 ± 0.2. HD 147010 has also been found to be a spectrum variable; in particular, lines of Cr II show large intensity variations.  相似文献

The GALEX General Data Release 4/5 includes 174 spectroscopic tiles, obtained from slitless grism observations, for a total of more than 60 000 ultraviolet spectra. We have determined statistical properties of the sample of GALEX stars. We have defined a suitable system of spectroscopic indices, which measure the main mid-UV features at the GALEX low spectral resolution and we have employed it to determine the atmospheric parameters of stars in the range 4500≲T eff≲9000 K. Our preliminary results indicate that the majority of the sample is formed by main sequence F- and G-type stars, with metallicity [M/H]≳−1 dex.  相似文献

We present the results of a comprehensive study of the chemically peculiar stars HD 5797 and HD 40711. The stars have the same effective^temperature, T eff = 8900 K, and a similar chemical composition with large iron (+1.5 dex) and chromium (+3 dex) overabundances compared to the Sun. The overabundance of rare-earth elements typically reaches +3 dex. We have measured the magnetic field of HD 5797. The longitudinal field component B e has been found to vary sinusoidally between −100 and +1000 G with a period of 69 days. Our estimate of the evolutionary status of the stars suggests that HD 5797 and HD 40711, old objects with an age t ≈ 5 × 108 yr, are near the end of the core hydrogen burning phase.  相似文献

Photoelectric observations of the WR binary CQ Cephei (WN6+O9) are presented. the depths of the eclipses in the light curves are best represented by an inclination of the orbit i = (68°.8±0.6) and the width of the very asymmetric eclipse curves can be represented by only an overcontact configuration (Ω1 = Ω2 = 3.65 ± 0.05, and f = 27%). Simultaneous solution of the light and radial velocity curves strongly supports CQ Cep's membership of the Cep OB1 association. By considering this membership we obtained absolute dimensions of the system, which lead to a consistent physical model for CQ Cephei. The more luminous WR primary turns out to be the hotter but slightly less massive component: MWR = 20.8 M⊙, RWR = 8.2R⊙, Teff(WR) = 43600 K, and Mo = 21.4 M⊙, Ro = 8.3 R⊙, Teff(O) = 37000 K.  相似文献
