Stellar Pulsation and Evolution: A Combined Theoretical Renewal and Updated Models (SPECTRUM). I. Updating Radiative Opacities for Pulsation Models of Classical Cepheid and RR-Lyrae

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal
Pulsating stars are universally recognized as precise distance indicators and tracers of stellar populations. Their variability, combined with well-defined relationships between pulsation properties and intrinsic evolutionary parameters such as ...

Parameters and Pulsation Constant of Cepheid [PDF]

open access: yesParticles, 2023
The analysis of fifty empirical period-radius relations and forty-three empirical period-luminosity relations is performed for the Cepheids. It is found that most of these relations have significant systematic errors.

Interaction Between Convection and Pulsation [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2015
This article reviews our current understanding of modelling convection dynamics in stars. Several semi-analytical time-dependent convection models have been proposed for pulsating one-dimensional stellar structures with different formulations for how the

THE ABUNDANCE OF HELIUM AND STELLAR PULSATION

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Radial gradient of relative amplitude of the light variation FV for galactic classical Cepheids is found. The gradient has different signs for two cases: P > 8d and P < 8d. For P > 8d the gradient is negative.

An overview of stellar pulsation theory [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 1993
AbstractIn this paper I will give overview of the stellar pulsation theory. Starting with basic equations I will discuss modal properties of oscillations and excitation mechanisms. I also mention briefly the effects of rotation.

Nonthermal X-Rays from Pulsation-driven Shocks in Cepheids

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Rapid X-ray phase-dependent flux enhancement in the archetype classical Cepheid star δ Cep was observed by XMM-Newton and Chandra. We jointly analyze thermal and nonthermal components of the time-resolved X-ray spectra prior to, during, and after the ...

The Calculation of Stellar Pulsation [PDF]

open access: yesReviews of Modern Physics, 1964
In this paper we report methods of computation which have been developed to provide a theoretical understanding of the RR Lyrae and Cepheid type pulsating stars. The results reported are intended to illuminate the methods of calculation and to provide insight into the physical processes in these stars.

RADIAL STELLAR PULSATION AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONVECTION. III. COMPARISON OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONVECTION EFFECTS ON RADIAL PULSATION [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2014
Publishers' Version/PDFWe have developed a multi-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics code to simulate the interaction of radial stellar pulsation and convection for full-amplitude pulsating models.

The Role of Opacities in Stellar Pulsation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We examine the role of opacities in stellar pulsation with reference to Cepheids and RR Lyraes, and examine the effect of augmented opacities on the theoretical pulsation light curves in key temperature ranges.

Reminiscence of a stellar pulsation theorist [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The author started working in stellar pulsation theory in 1965. Since this time, we have studied the effects of improved radiative transfer and dynamic zoning on models of Cepheids, RR Lyrae, and W Virginis stars.
