Asteroseismic study of the red giant ε Ophiuchi
We test the possible evolutionary tracks of stars with various masses (1.8 M,1.9 M,2.0 M,2.1 M,2.2 M)and metallicities Z(0.008,0.010, 0.012),including both models with and without convective core overshooting.At a given mass and metallicity,the models with a larger overshoot predict a larger radius...

Zusammenfassung: | We test the possible evolutionary tracks of stars with various masses (1.8 M,1.9 M,2.0 M,2.1 M,2.2 M)and metallicities Z(0.008,0.010, 0.012),including both models with and without convective core overshooting.At a given mass and metallicity,the models with a larger overshoot predict a larger radius and age of the star.Based on the observed frequency of oscillations and the position of Oph on the H-R diagram,we obtain two distinct better-fitting models:the solutions with mass M=1.9 M favor a radius in the range 10.55±0.03 R with an age of 1.01±0.08 Gyr;the solutions with mass M=2.0 M favor a radius in the range 10.74±0.03 R with an age of 0.95±0.11 Gyr.Furthermore,we investigate the influence of overshooting on the internal structure and the pulsation properties,and find that increasing the convective core overshoot significantly decreases non-radial mode inertia,while also increasing the mode amplitude.Therefore,the estimation of stellar mass and age might be modified by convective core penetration. |
