INTERNAL GRAVITY WAVES IN MASSIVE STARS: ANGULAR MOMENTUM TRANSPORT

Abstract

We present numerical simulations of internal gravity waves (IGW) in a star with a convective core and extended radiative envelope.We report on amplitudes, spectra, dissipation, and consequent angular momentum transport by such waves.We find that these waves are generated efficiently and transport angular momentum on short timescales over large distances.We show that, as in Earth's atmosphere, IGW drive equatorial flows which change magnitude and direction on short timescales.These results have profound consequences for the observational inferences of massive stars, as well as their long term angular momentum evolution.We suggest IGW angular momentum transport may explain many observational mysteries, such as: the misalignment of hot Jupiters around hot stars, the Be class of stars, Ni enrichment anomalies in massive stars, and the non-synchronous orbits of interacting binaries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
