Excitation of g - modes of solar type stars by an orbiting
نویسنده
چکیده
The possibility of exciting the g-modes of a solar-type star as a consequence of the gravitational interaction with a close companion (a planet or a brown dwarf) is studied by a perturbative approach. The amplitude of the emitted gravitational wave is computed and compared with the quadrupole emission of the system, showing that in some cases it can be considerably larger. The effects of radiation reaction are considered to evaluate the timescale of the emission process, and a Roche lobe analysis is used to establish the region where the companion can orbit without being disrupted by tidal interactions with the star.

متن کاملStochastic Excitation and Damping of Solar-type Oscillations
A review on acoustic mode damping and excitation in solar-type stars is presented. Current models for linear damping rates are discussed in the light of recent low-degree solar linewidth measurements with emphasis on the frequency-dependence of damping rates of loworder modes. Recent developments in stochastic excitation models are reviewed and tested against the latest high-quality data of sol...
متن کاملDynamical Tide in Solar-Type Binaries
Circularization of late-type main-sequence binaries is usually attributed to turbulent convection, while that of early-type binaries is explained by resonant excitation of g modes. We show that the latter mechanism operates in solar-type stars also and is at least as effective as convection, despite inefficient damping of g modes in the radiative core. The maximum period at which this mechanism...
متن کاملExcitation of Neutron Star Oscillations by an Orbiting Particle
The excitation of neutron stars is expected to be an important source of gravitational radiation. Of fundamental importance is then to investigate mechanisms that trigger oscillations in neutron stars in order to characterize the emitted radiation. We present results from a numerical study of the even-parity gravitational radiation generated from a particle orbiting a neutron star. We focus our...
متن کاملThe Age-dependence of the Detectability of Comets Orbiting Solar-type Stars
The outflows from comets in orbit around G-type main-sequence stars can be detected when they produce transient OH absorption lines in the spectrum near 3100 Å of the host star. There is only about a 3 × 10 probability of detecting an analog to comet Hale-Bopp orbiting an analog to the Sun. However, for young solar-type stars with very large numbers of comets, possibly delivering water to terre...
