Horizontal Branch stars as AmFm / HgMn stars
Recent observations and models for horizontal branch stars are briefly described and compared to models for AmFm stars. The limitations of those models are emphasized by a comparison to observations and models for HgMn stars.
متن کاملTurbulent Convection and Pulsational Stability of Variable Stars II. Oscillations of RR Lyrae and Horizontal Branch Red Variable Stars
Using a nonlocal time-dependent theory of convection, we have calculated the linear non-adiabatic oscillations of the Horizontal Branch (HB) stars, with both the dynamic and thermodynamic coupling between convection and oscillations carefully treated. Turbulent pressure and turbulent viscosity have been included consistently in our equations of non-adiabatic pulsation. When the coupling between...
متن کاملGravonuclear Instabilities in Post-Horizontal-Branch Stars
We investigate the gravonuclear instabilities reported by Bono et al. (1997a,b) during the onset of helium-shell burning at the end of the horizontal-branch (HB) phase. These instabilities are characterized by relaxation oscillations within the helium shell which lead to loops in the evolutionary tracks. We find the occurrence of these instabilities depends critically on how the breathing pulse...
متن کاملCalibrating horizontal-branch stars with Hipparcos
Parallaxes from the Hipparcos satellite allow for the first time to calibrate parameters of horizontal-branch (HB) like stars based on geometric distances. We present absolute magnitudes and luminosities for 8 such stars. Using Teff and log g values available from the literature, we also can calculate the mass of the HB stars. We find an average value ofMHB = 0.38 ±0.07 M for stars with 7500< T...
متن کاملHorizontal Branch Stars and the Ultraviolet Universe
Extremely hot horizontal branch (HB) stars and their progeny are widely considered to be responsible for the “ultraviolet upturn” (or UVX) phenomenon observed in elliptical galaxies and the bulges of spirals. Yet, the precise evolutionary channels that lead to the production of these stars remain the source of much debate. In this review, we discuss two key physical ingredients that are require...
