研究目的
To present new calculations of limb and gravity-darkening coefficients for the photometric system of the satellite MOST, to be used in various fields of stellar physics.
研究成果
The paper provides new calculations of limb and gravity-darkening coefficients for the MOST satellite's photometric system, using ATLAS and PHOENIX stellar atmosphere models. It highlights the importance of these coefficients in various fields of stellar physics and discusses the similarities and differences between the models. The study also emphasizes the need for theoretical values in analyzing transit photometry and suggests future directions for research.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the observational difficulties in detecting the drop-off in intensity predicted by spherical models near the limb and the limitations in comparing semi-empirical and theoretical spherical limb-darkening coefficients directly.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study adopts the least-square method for computing limb-darkening coefficients and a more general differential equation for gravity-darkening coefficients, considering the effects of convection.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Uses two stellar atmosphere models, ATLAS (plane-parallel) and PHOENIX (spherical and quasi-spherical), covering a wide range of Te?, log g, metallicities, and microturbulent velocities.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The MOST satellite's photometric system is used, with its broad-band filter spanning 350 nm to 750 nm.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Computations involve six laws to describe the specific intensity distribution and compare results from different numerical methods.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study compares theoretical predictions with observational data and discusses the implications for stellar physics research.
