Oscillation Power as a Test of Stellar Turbulence : Scanning the Hr Diagram
نویسنده
چکیده
The acoustic power injected by turbulent convection into solar-like oscillations depends on the details of the turbulent spectrum. A theoretical formulation for the oscillation power is developed which generalizes previous ones. The formulation is first calibrated on a solar model in such a way as to reproduce the solar seismic data. This allows to investigate different assumptions about the stellar turbulent spectrum. We next explore consequences of the assumed turbulent description for some potentially solar-like oscillating stars. Large differences are found in the oscillation power of a given star when using different turbulent spectra as well as in a star to star comparison. Space seismic observations of such stars will be valuable for discriminating between several turbulent models.

Solar-like oscillations are stochastically excited by turbulent convection. In this work we investigate changes in the acoustic oscillation power spectrum of solar-type stars by varying the treatment of convection in the equilibrium structure and the properties of the stochastic excita-tion model. We consider different stellar models computed with the standard mixing-length description by Böhm-...
متن کاملConstraining fundamental stellar parameters using seismology
We apply the Levenberg-Marquardt minimization algorithm to seismic and classical observables of the αCen binary system in order to derive the fundamental parameters of αCenA+B, and to analyze the dependence of these parameters on the chosen observables, on their uncertainty, and on the physics used in stellar modelling. The seismological data are those by Bouchy & Carrier (2002) for αCen A, and...
متن کاملSimulation of Pitching and Heaving Airfoil with Oscillation of Flow Boundary Condition
A pressure based implicit procedure to solve the Euler and Navier-Stokes equation is developed to predict transonic viscous and inviscid flows around the pitching and heaving airfoils with a high reslution scheme. In this process, nonorthogonal and non moving mesh with collocated finite volume formulation are used. In order to simulate pitching or heaving airfoil, oscillation of flow boundary c...
متن کاملTurbulent Drag Reduction by Spanwise Wall Oscillations
The objective of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of wall oscillation as a control scheme of drag reduction. Two flow configurations are considered: constant flow rate and constant mean pressure gradient. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved using Fourier-Chebyshev spectral methods and the oscillation in sinusoidal form is enforced on the walls through boundary conditions for the sp...
متن کاملThe nature of p - modes and granulation in HD 49933 ⋆
Context. Oscillations on the Procyon-like star HD 49933 (F5V) were obtained recently by CoRoT. A full reduction and analysis of the data by the CoRoT team yielded a detailed spectrum of l = 0, 1, and 2 p-modes. Aims. To provide our own independent reductions and stellar modeling of the CoRoT oscillation data for HD 49933. Methods. We used a new Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to fit Lo...
