Stochastic Excitation of Stellar Oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
Excitation of solar oscillations is attribued to turbulent motions in the solar convective zone. It is also currently believed that oscillations of low massive stars (M < 2 M⊙) which possess an upper convective zone are stochastically excited by turbulent convection in their outer layers. A recent theoretical work (Samadi and Goupil, 2001; Samadi et al., 2001) supplements and reinforces this theory. This allows the use of any available model of turbulence and emphasizes some recent unsolved problems which are brought up by these new theoretical developments.

Solar-like oscillations in semiregular variables
Power spectra of the light curves of semiregular variables, based on visual magnitude estimates spanning many decades, show clear evidence for stochastic excitation. This supports the suggestion by Christensen-Dalsgaard et al. (2001) that oscillations in these stars are solar-like, i.e., stochastically excited by convection, with mode lifetimes ranging from years to decades.
متن کاملCONTINUOUS FREE OSCILLATIONS: Atmosphere-Solid Earth Coupling
■ Abstract In 1997, after almost forty years since the initial attempt by Benioff et al (1959), continuous free oscillations of the Earth were discovered. Spheroidal fundamental modes between 2 and 7 millihertz are excited continuously with acceleration amplitudes of about 0.3–0.5 nanogals. The signal is now commonly found in virtually all data recorded by STS-1 type broadband seismometers at q...
متن کاملFourier analysis of nonself-averaging quasiperiodic oscillations in the excitation functions of dissipative heavy-ion collisions: quantum chaos in dissipative heavy-ion collisions?
We employ stochastic modelling of statistical reactions with memory to study quasiperiodic oscillations in the excitation functions of dissipative heavy-ion collisions. The Fourier analysis of excitation function oscillations is presented. It suggests that S-matrix spin and parity decoherence, damping of the coherent nuclear rotation and quantum chaos are sufficient conditions to explain the no...
متن کاملExcitation of Solar Acoustic Oscillations
The stochastic excitation of solar oscillations due to turbulent convection is reviewed. A number of different observational results that provide test for solar p-mode excitation theories are described. I discuss how well the stochastic excitation theory does in explaining these observations. The location and properties of sources that excite solar p-modes are also described. Finally, I discuss...
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...
