  2. Outline I The Sun Major open issues From the Sun to stars II Solar like oscillating MS stars Open issues illustrated with CoRoT stars: HD49933, HD181420, HD42385 ground based observed HD208 Kepler data Reviews: Basu, Antia 2008, Christensen-Dalsgaard, 2009; Turck Chieze et al , 2010

  3. A tout seigneur tout honneur, Noblesse oblige The Sun • Solar constraints • Luminosity, GM⊙, R, age, surface abundances (Z/X)s • Seismic constrains • From inversion of a large set of mode frequencies • Found to be enough independent of the reference model • -base of the upper convective zone rbzc • -surface helium abundance Ys • -ionization regions through 1 • -sound speed profile : seismic solar model c(r ) • -rotation profile (r,)

  4. The Sun Major challenges and open issues in the solar case • - Input parameters: surface abundances ? • Interior : sound speed : origin of the discrepancy below the • convection zone • Rotation profile • Near surface layers • Probing the core • Mode physics : line widths and amplitudes • convection-pulsation interaction -

  5. 1- Initial abundances: the solar mixture The Sun 1993-2010: several revisions of the photospheric solar mixture 2003: 3D model atmospheres + NLTE effects + improved atomic data ➥ decrease of C, N, O, Ne, Ar and (Z/X)

  6. 1- Initial abundances: the solar mixture The Sun 1993-2010: several revisions of the photospheric solar mixture 2003: 3D model atmospheres + NLTE effects + improved atomic data ➥ decrease of C, N, O, Ne, Ar and (Z/X) • 2009-2010 • Internal consistency of abundance determination • from different ionisation levels of a given element • Consensus between independent determinations Grevesse & Noels 93, Grevesse & Sauval 1998, Asplund et al. 05, Asplund & al 09, Lodders et al. 09, Caffau et al 10 6

NUMERICS BOUNDARIES model atmospheres INPUT PARAMETERS mass initial composition evolutionary state INPUT PHYSICS microscopic: Nuclear reactions opacities equation of state microscopic diffusion macroscopic: Convection  rotation internal waves magnetic field et related transport solar model The sun Mode physics

  11. 1- Opacities: mixture and choice of tables The Sun Z/X decrease : major impact in solar models  radiative opacities Major differences just below the convection zone (Oxygen, Neon)

  12. 1- Opacities: mixture and choice of tables The Sun Z/X decrease : major impact in solar models  radiative opacities Major differences just below the convection zone (Oxygen, Neon) Check opacities: uncertainties assessed with OPAL/OP Opacity comparison for a 1 Msun calibrated solar model Difference in opacity dominated by the difference in the mixture (but less if AGS09 replaces AGS05). OP opacities give a better fit than OPAL. However in that region, there is no way to change the OP opacity by a sufficient amount to compensate the effects of mixture (Badnell et al. 2005) cf S. Basu ‘s talk S. Turck-Chieze ‘s talk 12

  13. 1 Abundances From the Sun to stars Abundances of other stars determined by reference to the Sun, hence all stars affected can other stars be discriminating ? Impact of some mismatch between 3D atmosphere models (solar abundances) and 1D models (stellar abundances)? Z/X could be affected Impact of inconsistency when modelling other stars with AGS mixtures if their [Fe/H] not determined from 3D models? Bailey et al. 07, Moses et al. 09

  14. reaction cross section: 2-Nuclear reaction rates The Sun • in stars:reactions occur at low energy: few keV to 0.1 MeV • rates from: • experimental data but to be extrapolated to low E • theory Yveline Lebreton GAIA-ELSA Conf., Sèvres, France, 10 June 2010 14

  15. NOW and FUTURE low energy, high intensity underground reaction cross section: 2-Nuclear reaction rates ➦ astrophysical factor (S-factor) The Sun recent significant progress in laboratory and theory ➥ S-factor down to the Gamow peak

  16. LUNA 2-Hydrogen burning reaction rates CNO cycle high mass or/and advanced stages experimental measurements 14N(p, γ)15O S(0) ➘ 50% pp chain low mass stars The Sun CNO cycle Adelberger et al. 2010 16

  17. NACRE, Angulo et al. 01 LUNA, Formicola et al. 04 The Sun 2- 14N(p,γ)15O burning reaction rate CNO cycle efficiency is reduced Sun: ECNO/ETOT=0.8% vs.1.6% before From the Sun to analogue stars convective core: smaller at given mass , appears at higher mass convective core smaller at given mass appears at higher mass 1.2 M☉, Z=0.01

  18. 2-Nuclear reaction rates The Sun reaction cross section Seismic sun (Basu et al 1997)- model Electronscreening Model S switching off e- screening AGS05 Salpeter 1954 Shaviv, Shaviv1996; 2000 ControversyBahcall et al 2000 Weiss et al 2001 Dappen 2009 Exact impact of e- screening ? For the Sun and stars ? Model S GN93 Christensen-Dalsgaard, 2009

  19. 2-Hydrogen burning reaction rates CNO cycle high mass or/and advanced stages pp chain low mass stars p(p, e+ ν)d The Sun theoretical estimate only but helioseismic validation ➦ rate constrained to ±15% CNO cycle Adelberger et al. 2010 Weiss 2008 pp+screening increase by 15% : AGS05 cs  prior to 2003 standard solar models below th UCZ

  20. The Sun 3- Rotationally induced transport Open issues: flat rotation profile in the radiative region discrepancy for the sound speed below the UCZ Most recent, based on a model of diffusion-advection transport (Zahn 1992, Maeder, Zahn 1998, Chaboyer, Zahn, 1992, Mathis, Zahn 2004) Talon, Zahn 1997, high mass Mathias, Zahn, 1997 solar rotation profile Talon, Charbonnel 2003 Li dip

  21. The Sun 3- Rotationally induced transport • Open issues: flat rotation profile in the radiative region • discrepancy for the sound speed below the UCZ • Most recent, based on a model of diffusion-advection transport (Zahn 1992, Maeder, Zahn 1998, Chaboyer, Zahn, 1992, Mathis, Zahn 2004) • Talon, Zahn 1997, high mass • Mathias, Zahn, 1997 solar rotation profile • Talon, Charbonnel 2003 Li dip • Palacios et al 2006; • Turck-Chieze et al 2010 : • Initial velocity (slow or ‘fast’ sun) • matters • slow: microscopic diffusion dominates • Initially rapid enough: meridional • circulation dominates over turbulent shear GN93 mixture discrepancy for the sound speed below the UCZ increases 21

  22. The Sun 3- Rotationally induced transport • AGS05 • no rotation • rotation no surface J loss • rotation surface J loss Validity of prescriptions, in particular Dh ? Models from Marques 2010 Lebreton 2010 From the Sun to stars: Talon, Zahn 1997, Eggenberger et al, Decressin et al 2009, Marques et al 2010 22 22

  23. The Sun 4-Internal wave induced transport For  profile, needs additional transport processes: waves mixing or B Talon, Charbonnel 2005 internal waves ⊙ flat profil Li dip on the cool side B is also able to ⊙ flat profil Eggenberger et al 2005, Yang, Bi 2007 Open issue: either one ? or both ? depends on various precriptions and assumptions Sound speed Evolution of sound speed profil with age Talon 2010 with 2005 models (Talon, Charbonnel 2005) but not calibrated models yet For cs, needs higher opacities or higher helium below UZC ie higher He gradient Any mixing below UZC which smoothes the gradient goes in the wrong direction ? Then advection process? Waves ? 23

  24. The Sun 5-Near surface layers Include - boundary: T- relation - Inefficient turbulent convection - Mode physics : nonadiabatic effects thermal and dynamics interaction radiation-pulsationinteraction convection-pulsation Christensen-Dalsgaard , Perez Hernandez 1992 Christensen-Dalsgaard, Thompson 1997

  25. The Sun 5-Model atmosphere and T- law Blue solar observations GOLF (credit F. Baudin) Red solar model GN93, diffusion (Lebreton 2010) From the Sun to stars, SSMuses semi empirical models or Kurucz models Evolutionary models for stars usually use Eddington T-

  26. The Sun 5-Correcting for near surface effects Kjeldsen et al 2008 proposed a mean to correct for near surface effects Green :  corrected with a(obs/0)b a,b fitted from the data reference frequency 0= 3100 Hz fixed Green fall on blue points

  27. 5-Correcting for near surface effects The Sun Of course valid only over the fitted domain,perhaps enough for stars How much parameters a,b, 0 do depend on the adopted model ? Validity for other stars ?

  28. The Sun 5-Correcting for near surface effects Inefficient superadiabatic turbulent convection: 3D simulations Patched model versus non patched models: Frequencies closer to observed ones Rosenthal et al 1999, Li et al 2002 Samadi, Ludwig 2010 Existence of a similar scaling for that contribution to near surface effects ? Then it could be investigated theoretically

  29. From the Sun to stars 5-Correcting for near surface effects Hotter stars, larger effects Pturb/Ptot larger, ‘lift’ of the atmosphere higher larger difference between patched and non patched model frequencies smaller gravity and/or higher température, larger Pturb/Ptot curves : a(obs/max)b with adapted a,b Scaling not so easy … Models from Samadi, Ludwig 2010
