Abstract

Wave-energy relation is introduced as a new analysis tool for linear radial pulsations. Wave energy consists of kinetic energy, acoustic-potential energy, dynamical-potential energy, and entropy-potential energy. The relation describes changes in the wave energy caused by non-adiabatic processes and by leakage of wave energy. It is applied to modal analysis of adiabatic pulsations for the massive Zero Age Main Sequence models (10, 20, and 30 solar masses). The ordinary modes are well trapped in the interior cavity without any significant wave-energy leakage. On the other hand, the strange modes (S-modes) exhibit the steep increases in the eigenfunctions and kinetic energy toward the stellar surface and the significant wave-energy leakage. The kinetic energy of S-modes is no longer confined in the exterior cavity.

Non-adiabatic Effect on Convective Mode

The systematic analysis of non-adiabatic effect on convective mode has been conducted using wave energy relation. In the adiabatic analysis, the "propagation diagram" for convective mode is proposed as a useful tool to see its behavior. In the non-adiabatic analysis, it is found that for strongly non-adiabatic case, a monotonically growing convective mode becomes oscillatory. In this phase, the radial displacement and the distribution of wave energy show only one bump, in which the distribution of entropy energy eS almost overlaps with the distribution of gravity energy eg. Entropy energy eS seems to act as potential energy of oscillatory convection. In addition to this, this change occurs not gradually, but abruptly with change of non-adiabatic indicator.

Diameters and Temperatures VII: High-angular resolution measurements of Solar-type stars with the CHARA Array

We present interferometric measurements of angular diameters for 27 nearby solar-type stars obtained with the Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at the CHARA Array. The sample spans a broad range of metallicities, includes several known exoplanet hosts, and covers evolutionary stages from the zero-age main sequence to mildly evolved subgiants. Uniform-disk and limb-darkened angular diameters were measured for each target and combined with bolometric fluxes and Gaia parallaxes to determine precise, model-independent stellar radii, effective temperatures, and luminosities. We achieve typical uncertainties of $\sim1$\% in radius and $\sim1.5$\% in effective temperature. Comparisons with multiple stellar evolutionary model grids yield mass and age estimates and enable assessment of grid-to-grid systematics, highlighting sensitivities to abundances, evolutionary stage, and proximity to grid boundaries. Our results provide empirical benchmarks for testing stellar evolutionary theory, refining surface brightness-color relations, and improving the characterization of exoplanet host stars.

The 200-300 GHz Survey for 18 Class II Disks in the Ophiuchus Star-Forming Complex

We measured the 198-310 GHz flux densities of 18 Class II protoplanetary disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming complex using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The $\sim$200-300 GHz spectral indices ($α_{200-300}$) of these disks are $2.3^{+0.2}_{-0.5}$. In this observed frequency range, emission properties of the Ophiuchus disks are very similar to the 48 spatially compact Class II disks in the Taurus-Auriga region observed in a previous SMA survey. Combining the Ophiuchus and Taurus-Auriga samples, the Pearson correlation coefficient between $α_{200-300}$ and the flux density at 250 GHz ($F_{250\,\mathrm{GHz}}$) is 0.27 ($p=0.02$). We do not find a convincing correlation between $α_{200-300}$ and the $R_{95\%}$ radius of the disks. Our interpretation for the $α_{200-300}$ values being close to 2 in the spatially compact disks is that at $\gtrsim 200$ GHz frequencies, the continuum emission in these disks is dominated by optically thick dust thermal emission, independent of $F_{250\,\mathrm{GHz}}$ and $R_{95\%}$. As a result, the (sub)millimeter luminosity and the apparent disk size are positively correlated, which has been found in numerous resolved emission surveys of Class II disks. In young clusters with ages of $\sim$1-2 Myr, Class II disks with smaller radii or lower (sub)millimeter luminosities are not necessarily those in which the dust mass budget has been consumed or dispersed.
