[论文解读] Amplitudes of solar-like oscillations in red-giant stars: Evidences for non-adiabatic effects using CoRoT observations
本研究利用CoRoT数据,研究红巨星中类太阳振荡的振幅,采用三维流体动力学模型和非绝热脉动代码计算模态能量供应速率及强度-速度标度关系。结果表明,非绝热效应显著减小了理论与观测之间的差异,特别是在强度振幅方面;然而仍存在40%的低估,表明当前对湍流-脉动耦合的理论处理仍存在局限性。
A growing number of solar-like oscillations has been detected in red giant stars thanks to CoRoT and Kepler space-crafts. The seismic data gathered by CoRoT on red giant stars allow us to test mode driving theory in physical conditions different from main-sequence stars. Using a set of 3D hydrodynamical models representative of the upper layers of sub- and red giant stars, we computed the acoustic mode energy supply rate (Pmax). Assuming adiabatic pulsations and using global stellar models that assume that the surface stratification comes from the 3D hydrodynamical models, we computed the mode amplitude in terms of surface velocity. This was converted into intensity fluctuations using either a simplified adiabatic scaling relation or a non-adiabatic one. From L and M (the luminosity and mass), the energy supply rate Pmax is found to scale as (L/M)^2.6 for both main-sequence and red giant stars, extending previous results. The theoretical amplitudes in velocity under-estimate the Doppler velocity measurements obtained so far from the ground for red giant stars by about 30%. In terms of intensity, the theoretical scaling law based on the adiabatic intensity-velocity scaling relation results in an under-estimation by a factor of about 2.5 with respect to the CoRoT seismic measurements. On the other hand, using the non-adiabatic intensity-velocity relation significantly reduces the discrepancy with the CoRoT data. The theoretical amplitudes remain 40% below, however, the CoRoT measurements. Our results show that scaling relations of mode amplitudes cannot be simply extended from main-sequence to red giant stars in terms of intensity on the basis of adiabatic relations because non-adiabatic effects for red giant stars are important and cannot be neglected. We discuss possible reasons for the remaining differences.

主要发现
- 能量供应速率P_max对主序星和红巨星均呈现(L/M)^2.6的标度关系,扩展了先前结果。
- 在红巨星中,理论速度振幅比地面Doppler速度测量值约低30%。
- 绝热强度-速度标度关系将CoRoT强度振幅低估了约2.5倍。
- 使用非绝热强度-速度关系可使与CoRoT数据的差异减小约1.5倍,但理论振幅仍比观测值低约40%。
- 非绝热强度振幅标度律为(δL/L)_max ∝ (L/M)^s/2+k,其中s = 2.0 ± 0.1,k = 0.25 ± 0.05,以T_eff和表面重力表示的总标度指数为p*′ = 1.63 ± 0.15。
- 残余差异归因于当前非绝热处理中对湍流-脉动耦合的局限性,以及基础模型中采用简化的混合长理论。
