摘要:

众所周知,晚型恒星的磁活动随着自转速率的增加而增加。利用类似于医学成像的反演技术,这类恒星的旋转加宽轮廓可用于重建其恒星表面冷暗星点分布的“多普勒图像”。然而,相互作用的双星包含了一些已知旋转最快的晚型恒星,因此为恒星发电机模型提供了重要的测试。此外,磁活动被认为在它们的演化、行为和吸积动力学中起着关键作用。尽管如此,我们对磁活动及其对此类双星的影响知之甚少。在这篇评论中,我们总结了这些系统的间接成像背后的概念,并提出了一些相互作用的双星中的冷星上的星点分布的电影。最后,我们看看这些研究可能提供的未来机会。

英文摘要:

It is well known that magnetic activity in late-type stars increases with increasing rotation rate. Using inversion techniques akin to medical imaging, the rotationally broadened profiles from such stars can be used to reconstruct `Doppler images' of the distribution of cool, dark starspots on their stellar surfaces. Interacting binaries, however, contain some of the most rapidly rotating late-type stars known and thus provide important tests of stellar dynamo models. Furthermore, magnetic activity is thought to play a key role in their evolution, behaviour and accretion dynamics. Despite this, we know comparatively little about the magnetic activity and its influence on such binaries. In this review we summarise the concepts behind indirect imaging of these systems, and present movies of the starspot distributions on the cool stars in some interacting binaries. We conclude with a look at the future opportunities that such studies may provide.
