Coupling 1D stellar evolution with 3D-hydrodynamical simulations on-the-fly II: stellar evolution and asteroseismic applications
MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY(2020)
Abstract
Models of stellar structure and evolution are an indispensable tool in astrophysics, yet they are known to incorrectly reproduce the outer convective layers of stars. In the first paper of this series, we presented a novel procedure to include the mean structure of 3D hydrodynamical simulations on-the-fly in stellar models, and found it to significantly improve the outer stratification and oscillation frequencies of a standard solar model. In this work, we extend the analysis of the method; specifically how the transition point between envelope and interior affects the models. We confirm the versatility of our method by successfully repeating the entire procedure for a different grid of 3D hydrosimulations. Furthermore, the applicability of the procedure was investigated across the HR diagram and an accuracy comparable to the solar case was found. Moreover, we explored the implications on stellar evolution and find that the red-giant branch is shifted about 40K to higher effective temperatures. Finally, we present for the first time an asteroseismic analysis based on stellar models fully utilizing the stratification of 3D simulations on-the-fly. These new models significantly reduce the asteroseismic surface term for the two selected stars in the Kepler field. We extend the analysis to red giants and characterize the shape of the surface effect in this regime. Lastly, we stress that the interpolation required by our method would benefit from new 3D simulations, resulting in a finer sampling of the grid.
