Letter to the Editor A new generation of dynamic model atmospheres for AGB stars: first results
نویسنده
چکیده
Existing time-dependent dynamic model atmospheres for AGB stars suffer from the fact that they are based on grey radiative transfer which is a poor approximation for cool line-blanketed atmospheres. Therefore, frequency-dependent radiative transfer has been included into a well-tried radiation hydrodynamics code to obtain more realistic models. First results concerning the structure of such non-grey dynamical model atmospheres are presented in this paper. Due to computational reasons, the number of frequencies used in the radiative transfer has to be kept very low, typically around 50, but even with this restriction considerable improvements can be obtained compared to grey models.

We present a new model atmosphere analysis of nine central stars of planetary nebulae. This study is based on a new generation of realistic stellar model atmospheres for hot stars; state-of-the-art, hydrodynamically consistent, spherically symmetric model atmospheres that have been shown to correctly reproduce the observed UV spectra of massive Population I O-type stars. The information provide...

Aims. We present the first theoretical study on center-to-limb variation (CLV) properties and relative radius interpretation for narrow and broad-band filters, on the basis of a set of dynamic model atmospheres of C-rich AGB stars. We computed visibility profiles and the equivalent uniform disc radii (UD-radii) in order to investigate the dependence of these quantities upon the wavelength and p...

We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملThe Element Abundances in Bare Planetary Nebula Central Stars and the Shell Burning in AGB Stars
We review the observed properties of extremely hot hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars of spectral type [WC] and PG1159. Their H-deficiency is probably caused by a (very) late heliumshell flash or a AGB final thermal pulse, laying bare interior stellar regions which are usually kept hidden below the hydrogen envelope. Thus, the photospheric element abundances of these stars allow to draw conclusi...
متن کاملNew generation model atmospheres for chemically peculiar stars
The atmospheric structure of chemically peculiar stars deviates from that of normal stars with similar fundamental parameters due to unusual chemistry, abundance inhomogeneities and the presence of strong magnetic field. These effects are not considered in the standard model atmospheres, possibly leading to large errors in the stellar parameter determination and abundance analysis. To tackle th...
