6 IMPACT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION

7 EFFECT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR STRUCTURE ROCHE MODEL Dravins et al. 01

8 EFFECT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR STRUCTURE ROCHE MODEL Two families of approaches to evaluate the distorsion of stellar shape due to rotation : Ω/Ωcrit = 0, 0., 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1 - MacLaurin's spheroïds star body of ct ρ and uniform Ω - Roche equipotentials Φgrav that of star with M* = Mcent Φgrav = GM r 1 Φ rot = s Ω GM 1 GM s Ω Φ = Φ rot + Φgrav = s Ω = r s + z Surface of the star = equipotential Φ = constant. Critical angular velocity beyond which the star is unbound: Ωcrit = 8G M 3 7 R p

9 VON ZEIPEL THEOREM GRAVITY-DARKENING Relation btw radiative flux and local effective gravity in a rotating star.

Aufdenberg and NOAO/AURA/NSF ) T eff = ( L 1/4 g eff 4π G M* )

10 VON ZEIPEL THEOREM GRAVITY-DARKENING T eff = ( L 1/4 g eff 4π G M* ) Ming Zhao (University of Michigan) geff is lower at the equator due to the centrifugal force poles hotter than equator J. Aufdenberg and NOAO/AURA/NSF Actually verified by interferometric data for MS rapidly rotating stars.

11 VON ZEIPEL'S PARADOX Von Zeipel (194) : a rotating star cannot achieve simultaneously hydrostatic equilibrium and solid-body* rotation. *also true for non-conservative rotation laws energy equation in spherical coordinates and axisymmetric case in absence of energy production 1 1 ( sin θ F ) = 0.

12 MERIDIONAL CIRCULATION Eddington-Vogt solution to Von Zeipel's paradox (195) The Von Zeipel paradox can be solved if meridional motions contribute to the ty i s o energy transport from the cool equators to the warmer poles. isc v f o that This meridional circulation will carry away the excess energy from warm regions e l ro y e cannot be radiated and bring energy to the otherwise cooling regions. k e h rt o f t n u o ds S = a1cc.

Source term ( = rad Light and dark areas have positive and negative divergence. Equilibrium circulation velocity. Black arrows are streamlines; the length of grey arrows is proportional to local velocity. Close to the center of the circulation cell, the period required to perform one complete revolution is 4t KH, and it increases up to 11tKH in the outer part. Talon et al. 003, J. Of Comp. Phys., 184, 44

13 MERIDIONAL CIRCULATION Busse's 1981 and Zahn's 199 solution to the von Zeipel paradox In Eddington and Vogt's approach, the flux of AM induced by meridional circulation prevents the local AM conservation need for a compensating flux. Busse (1981) and Zahn (199) give a selfconsistent solution in which the meridional circulation is a result of AM conservation in a differentially rotating viscous fluid.

14 ANGULAR MOMENTUM TRANSPORT IN STARS The mechanisms redistributing angular momentum in evolving stars can be separated in two classes according to the time scales involved. Dynamical instabilities Operate on typical time scales of the order of the free-fall time scale. Associated perturbations can be considered adiabatic. Secular instabilities Operate on typical time scales of the order of the Kelvin-Helmoltz time scale. Associated perturbations operate on long timescales allowing for energy exchange need to be explicitly considered.

16 BRÜNT-VÄISÄLÄ FREQUENCY IN RADIATION ZONES In radiative zones, upwards adiabatic displacement z + δz ρbuble > of a parcel of matter with maintained pressure ρlocal equilibrium, submits the parcel to restoring force because it becomes overdense with respect to its g z surroundings. The parcel oscillates at the Brunt-Väisälä frequency ρ0 N = NT N = g Hp ad after S. Talon,003, IAUS 15, 336

18 HYDRODYNAMICAL INSTABILITIES IN ROTATING STARS Axisymmetric baroclinic instability : Solberg-Høiland Related to Coriolis Force. Applies to fluid in cylindrical rotation Arises when the net force applied to a parcel adiabatically displaced has components only in the direction of the displacement. s s+ξ Stability criterion against axisymmetric displacements is twofold: 1) N + N Ω 0 with N Ω = 1 d ( s Ω ) s ds ) specific angular momentum j increases from pole to equator along surfaces of constant S In the non-rotating case, cond. 1) reduces to the Schwarzschild criterion rotation acts as a stabilizing effect against convection if j/ r > 0. In a compressible fluid, the buoyancy forces allow a rotating law of the form (s,z) to be sustained. Instability applying only to baroclinic stars (Ω = Ω(s,z)). For axisymmetric and adiabatic perturbations, will occur only if the Rayleigh criterion is violated

19 HYDRODYNAMICAL INSTABILITIES IN ROTATING STARS Baroclinic instabilities Instabilities appearing in stars with non-cylindrical rotation law, when iso-surfaces of P, ρ, S and g no longer coincide.

26 EQUATIONS FOR THE STELLAR STRUCTURE The stellar structure general equations are derived from conservation equations and thermodynamic principles applied to spherical symmetric stars : 1 r = m 4π r ρ continuity equation P 1 Φ r = + m m 4πr t ( Poisson equation Φ = 4πGρ Gm g = Φ = r r motion equation / Navier Stokes ) L T P = ϵn ϵν c P +δ = ϵn ϵν + ϵg m t t ρ energy equation T GmT = 4 m 4πr P L = 4 π r (F F rad = conv +F rad d lnt d lnp ( ) d lnt =( d lnp ) = medium e 4 )= 4 16 π a c G m T rad 3κP 4 ac G T m 3 κp r elt heat transfert equation F conv = ρ c P T g δ l 4 3/ Hp 1 / ( e ) mixing length theory, Kippenhahn's formulation

27 STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS FOR A ROTATING STAR Rotation will affect the stellar structure equations in several ways : * reduction of the effective gravity away from the rotation axis by centrifugal forces impact on the hydrostatic equilibrium * deformation of equipotential surfaces (no more sphericity) impact on all equations except the equation for adiabatic convective equilibrium * Von Zeipel effect radiative flux not constant anymore on equipotential surfaces impact on the radiative equilibrium equation / possible effects on convection Kippenhahn & Thomas (1970), Maeder & Meynet (1997), Zeng (00) formalisms

28 KIPPENHAHN & THOMAS' FORMALISM CASE OF CONSERVATIVE ROTATION H Conservative rotation : centrifugal acceleration derives from a potential Roche-type potential (Ψ = Ψs + Ψc) KT70 or Kopal-type (Ψ = Ψs + Ψc + Ψd) ES76 Spherical surfaces replaced by non-spherical equipotentials on which P, T and ρ are constant if the potential Ψ is conservative. a) V Ψ = 4π 3 r 3 Ψ volume enclosed by the equipotential of surface S Ψ The form of the mass conservation equation is preserved 1 rψ = m Ψ 4 π r Ψ ρ Mean value of quantities not constant on equipotential surfaces: Local effective gravity 1 g = SΨ Ψ=cst g= dψ dn dψ ds Ψ dn f = 1 SΨ Ψ =cst not constant over equipotential surfaces g 1 1 = SΨ Ψ=cst dψ dn 1 ( ) ds Ψ f ds Ψ

34 MODELLING THE TRANSPORT OVER STELLAR EVOLUTION TIMESCALES Decressin et al. 009

35 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM CASE OF SHELLULAR ROTATION Two schools have been developed concerning the resolution of the angular momentum evolution equation in 1D stellar evolution codes. Endal & Sofia (1978), Pinsonneault (1989), Heger et al. (000) Advective property of meridional flows neglected diffusion equation Zahn (199), Maeder & Zahn (1998), Mathis & Zahn (004) Meridional circulation is an advective process advection / diffusion equation The first method is computationally much easier to implement. Both method give similar results when turbulent instabilities dominate the transport of AM.

36 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Endal & Sofia 1976, Pinsonneault et al. 1989, Heger et al. 000 The formalism developed by Endal & Sofia implements the equation for the evolution of angular momentum as a pure diffusion equation ν is a radial viscosity accounting for all the mechanisms (instabilities) supposedly transporting AM. This viscosity (identified with a diffusivity) is alternatively of unspecified nature (Denissenkov et al. 010) or appears as the sum of different diffusivities attached to different mechanisms (Heger et al. 000): Heger et al. 000 convection semi-convection dynamical shear Solberg-Høiland secular shear Eddington-Sweet circulation instability GSF instability

37 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Endal & Sofia 1976, Pinsonneault et al. 1989, Heger et al. 000 All the diffusion coefficients also enter the equation for nuclides transport. They are derived using a linear approach as the product of a characteristic velocity times a charactaristic action length : Case of the meridional circulation Case of the secular shear instability

38 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM CASE OF SHELLULAR ROTATION Meridian flows advect angular momentum feed differential rotation For fluid's small intrinsic viscosity, Ω(r) shaped by competition between meridional circulation and turbulent stresses. The angular momentum evolution (in radiative regions) advection then obeys an advection/diffusion equation diffusion IGW (Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998, Talon & Charbonnel 003 ) νv stands for all vertical turbulence associated with hydrodynamical instabilities. U is the vertical component of the meridional circulation velocity Φ + 1 Ω s g g eff with g eff = ρ fluctuations μ fluctuations ρ r dω Θ= = 3 g dr ρ

39 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM CASE OF SHELLULAR ROTATION Stable stratification in radiative interiors anisotropic transport ( v h, Dv Dh) with horizontal gradients smaller than vertical ones. Ω is constant over an isobar : shellular rotation Scalar fields can be projected on spherical harmonics allowed Mathis & Zahn 004 Mean Fluctuation Each vectorial field is projected on a basis of vectorial spherical harmonics Poloïdal part Toroïdal part

40 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998, Maeder 010 Meridional circulation velocity vector fields expanded over spherical functions for axisymmetric fields: = U l (r )P l (cos ϑ) e r + V l (r) U l >0 l >0 Development to second order = U (r ) P (cos ϑ) e r + V (r ) U Ur dp (cos ϑ) e ϑ dϑ dp l (cos ϑ) e ϑ dϑ Uϑ P (cos ϑ) = 1 (3 cos ϑ 1) P0 constant and odd degree terms not symmetrical with respect to the equator set to 0 V obtained applying the continuity equation in the anelastic approximation:

43 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998, Maeder 010 Introduce auxiliary variables describing the horizontal fluctuations of density, temperature and mean molecular weight over an isobar baroclinic balance ρ r dω Θ= = 3 g dr ρ Λ= μ μ ψ= T T related by the general EoS at constant pressure : Θ = δ ψ + ϕ Λ Considering that the entropy variation, the horizontal fluctuations of entropy and the entropy gradients can be written in the following way for stellar interiors: ds = C P [ dt dp dμ ad +Φ T P μ ] [( ϕ S = C P ( ψ+φ Λ) = C P +Φ Λ Θ δ δ ) ] C S = P ( ad Φ μ ) r Hp Φ= Aμ U with A = μ CPT ( ) ρ,μ P ϕδ ρ, αμ

44 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998, Maeder 010 We finally get an expression for the meridional circulation velocity component U C P Θ C ϕ L * 6 Θ T + U (r ) P ( ad + μ ) = (E Ω+ E μ ) + D h C P T t Hp δ δ M* r δ 4Ω R g g 3 GM 3 fϵ = ϵ ( ϵ + ϵgrav )

45 TRANSPORT OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998, Maeder 010 An equation describing the evolution of the mean molecular weight fluctuations is needed to complete the formalism diffusion equation with adopted formalism for scalars writing μ μ 6 + U (r ) = D h μ t r r Λ = U (r ) 6 D Λ t HP μ r h We end up with a coupled system of 5 non-linear differential equations resulting from the splitting of the 4th order in Ω of the AM transport equation + equation for mean molecular weight fluctuations evolution Λ = U (r ) 6 D Λ t HP μ r h Independent variables : Ω, Ψ/Θ, Λ, U, A= f(θ,ω)

46 VISCOSITIES / DIFFUSIVITIES There is no non-linear instability criterion associated to the baroclinic and the Solberg-Høiland instabilities mixing and transport by hydrodynamical instabilities occurs via the turbulence they generate turbulence occurs in the non-linear regime no reliable criterion to determine the amount of mixing associated with these instabilities The instability criterion derived for secular shear is non-linear (based on energy considerations) adopted criterion to describe vertical shear instability Shear instability should be the dominant one in stellar radiative interiors. Zahn 199

47 VISCOSITIES / DIFFUSIVITIES CASE OF SHELLULAR ROTATION assumption : Dv νv Effective diffusivity transport of chemicals by meridional circulation r U (r ) D eff = 30 D h Horizontal component of turbulent shear 8 Ri crit (r d Ω/dr ) D v ν v = 5 NT Nμ + K T +D h D h Vertical component of the horizontal shear r 1 d (ρ r U) U d ln r Ω D h νh = Ch 3ρ r dr d ln r (Chaboyer & Zahn 199, Zahn 199, Talon & Zahn 1997, Maeder & Zahn 1998)

48 TRANSPORT OF NUCLIDES CASE OF SHELLULAR ROTATION The association of meridional circulation and (horizontal) shear leads to a global vertical diffusion of the chemical species. The advection/diffusion equation describing the evolution of chemical concentrations reduces to a diffusion equation: nuclear microscopic processes Turbulence + merid. circ. (Chaboyer & Zahn 199, Zahn 199, Maeder & Zahn 1998)

51 MASS-LOSS : LOW-MASS STARS Rotation may affect mass loss of low-mass, low gravity and low temperature stars. Cranmer & Saar 011 : mass loss for cool stars covering a range of parameters also encompassing the radiative PMS.

52 MASS-LOSS : LOW-MASS STARS MHD fluctuations assumed as the only source to accelerate winds from cool stars.

65 EVOLUTIONARYWIND PATH BRAKING OF PMS ROTATING STARS Evolutionary path of a 1 solar mass star The main effect on the PMS is that of the centrifugal force that lowers the gravity and makes the star behave as a less massive star. Pinsonneault et al Eggenberger et al. 01

66 EFFECT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR PARAMETERS M = 3 M, Z = Z Eggenberger et al., 009, A&A 509, A7

67 EFFECT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR PARAMETERS When rotation is rapid enough : Age increased Larger radii Larger luminosity 0.83 M, [Fe/H] = 1.5 Palacios et al. 006 Already on the main sequence Post-MS phases should result from INTEGRATED evolution 3 M, [Fe/H] = 0 Eggenberger et al., 010

68 EFFECT OF ROTATION ON STELLAR PARAMETERS In an intermediate mass star rotation modifies the evolutionary track as Core overshoot changing with time Lower initial stellar mass 3 M, [Fe/H] = 0 Eggenberger et al., 010

72 COMPARING ROTATING MODELS No rotation rotation with v km/s

73 CONCLUSIONS

74 Stellar evolution models including rotation are becoming more common Solve the transport of AM and nuclides in a self-consistent way, taking the structural feedback into account (thanks to Kippenhahn & Thomas and to Zahn's formalism). Including rotation and rotation-induced mixing have clearly improved comparison to observations. Transport of AM and nuclides solely due to meridional circulation and hydrodynamical instabilities is not sufficient to explain all the observations other transport processes need to be introduced (IGW, thermohaline mixing, magnetic fields...) The interaction between rotation and mass-loss, and rotation and convection needs to be better taken into account.
