Nonlinear Properties of the Semiregular Variable Stars
We demonstrate how, with a purely empirical analysis of the irregular lightcurve data, one can extract a great deal of information about the stellar pulsation mechanism. An application to R Sct thus shows that the irregular lightcurve is the result of the nonlinear interaction of two highly nonadiabatic pulsation modes, namely a linearly unstable, low frequency mode, and the second mode that, a...
متن کاملMode Switching Time Scales in the Classical Variable Stars
Near the edges of the instability strip the rate of stellar evolution is larger than the growth-rate of the pulsation amplitude, and the same holds whenever the star is engaged in pulsational mode switching. Stellar evolution therefore controls both the onset of pulsation at the edges of the instability strip and of mode switching inside it. Two types of switchings (bifurcations) occur. In a so...
متن کاملEvidence for Low-dimensional Chaos in Semiregular Variable Stars
An analysis of the photometric observations of the light curves of the five large amplitude, irregularly pulsating stars R UMi, RS Cyg, V CVn, UX Dra and SX Her is presented. First, multi-periodicity is eliminated for these pulsations, i.e., they are not caused by the excitation of a small number of pulsation modes with constant amplitudes. Next, on the basis of energetics we also eliminate sto...
متن کاملPulsating Variable Stars in the MACHO Bulge database: The Semiregular Variables
We review the pulsating stars contained in the top 24 fields of the MACHO bulge database, with special emphasis on the red semiregular stars. Based on period, amplitude and color cuts, we have selected a sample of 2000 semiregular variables with 15 < P < 100 days. Their color-magnitude diagram is presented, and period-luminosity relation is studied, as well as their spatial distribution. We fin...
متن کاملLINEAR PULSATION CHARACTERISTICS OF MIRA VARIABLE STARS
The linear adiabatic pulsation-periods of Mira variable stars have been derived. Approximately 2701[1]models were calculated for M = 0.7 MΘ to 2 MΘ stars with radii from 180 RΘ to 340 RΘ and luminosities from 2800 LΘ to 10,000 LΘ. The chemical composition of all models is (X,Z) = (0.7,0.02). From the result of this study, linear relations on Luminosity-Period-Mass relationship and luminosity-pe...
