Espectroscopía UV de Alta Resolución para las atmósferas de las Supergigantes-A

Abstract

Las supergigantes de tipo-A son las estrellas intrínsecamente más brillantes en el visible y, por lo tanto, uno de los mejores indicadores de distancias extragalácticas en potencia. Estas estrellas presentan procesos físicos muy complejos en sus atmósferas con un campo de radiación muy energético y de alta densidad de momento, en combinación con una atmósfera extendida y tenue y un viento estelar. Uno de los mejores trazadores de estas envolturas extensas son las l ' ineas UV de diferentes iones (principalmente Mg I1, Al I1, Si II, e II and Fe II). Los pocos trabajos sobre el espectro UV de estas estrellas muestran que la espectroscopía UV de alta resolución y un análisis de variabilidad son cruciales para progresar en el conocimiento de las atmósferas de las supergigantes de tipo-A. Una cantidad importante de cuestiones permanecen abiertas. Aquí resumimos los resultados más relevantes encontrados en el rango UV y las cuestiones que se derivan para el viento de las supergigantes-A. Simultáneamente se argumenta lo esencial de una misión UV.

A-type supergiants are intrinsically the brightest stars at visual wavelengths, and therefore one of the best potential extragalactic distance indicators. These stars present a complex atmospheric physics with a large energy and momentum density of the radiation field, in combination with an extended and tenous atmosphere and a stellar wind. One of the best tracers of these expanding envelopes are the UV lines of different ions (mainly Mg I1, Al I1, Si I1, e II and Fe n). The scarce works on the UV spectrum of these stars show that high resolution UV spectroscopy and variability analysis are crucial to make progress in the understanding of A-type supergiants atmospheres. A number of important issues remain open. We summarize here the major findings on the winds of A-supergiants in the UV range and the derived open questions. Simultaneously, we address the critical importance of a UV mission to solve them.
