我们使用我们的“NextGen”冷星模型大气网格的一个初步版本计算了合成的谱线轮廓,它与冷的M矮星VB10的高分辨率Keck谱吻合得很好。结果表明,由Keck数据得到的参数与由具有较大波长覆盖范围的低分辨率光谱得到的参数是一致的。我们讨论了在冷的、分子(主要是氢)主导的恒星大气中范德华展宽的处理方法。谱线轮廓以范德华压力展宽为主,是重力和金属丰度的灵敏指标。因此,高分辨率的Keck谱对于确定M矮星的参数是有用的。金属丰度和重力之间有一些模糊之处。对于VB10,我们从高分辨谱中发现,在采用2700K的固定有效温度时,5.0log(G)<5.5和0<�M H�<+0.5(Schweitzer,1995年),这与最近的内部计算(例如Baraffe等人,1995年)一致。
We use a preliminary version of our “NextGen” grid of cool star model atmospheres to compute synthetic line profiles which fit high resolution Keck spectra of the cool M dwarf VB10 satisfactorily well. We show that the parameters derived from the Keck data are consistent with the parameters derived from lower resolution spectra with larger wavelength coverage. We discuss the treatment of van der Waals broadening in cool, molecular (mostly H2) dominated stellar atmospheres. The line profiles are dominated by van der Waals pressure broadening and are a sensitive indicator for the gravity and metallicity. Therefore, the high-resolution Keck spectra are useful for determining the parameters of M dwarfs. There is some ambiguity between the metallicity and gravity. For VB10, we find from the high-resolution spectra that 5.0 < log(g) < 5.5 and 0 < � M H � < +0.5 for an adopted fixed effective temperature of 2700 K (Schweitzer, 1995), which is consistent with recent interior calculations (e.g. Baraffe et al., 1995).
