最近的MOST空间测光

Recent MOST space photometry

Gordon A. H. Walker

摘要:

恒星的微变和振荡(MOST)测光卫星已经进行了64次以上的初步活动,其中包括一些星团,并获得了850颗以上次级恒星的观测结果,其中约180颗是可变的。超过一半的变量脉动,其中大多数是B型。自2006年1月以来,社会变革管理计划仅使用一个CCD进行指导和科学研究。由此产生的读出节奏的增加提高了最亮恒星的精度。南河三2007年的光变曲线证实了缺乏我们在2004年和2005年发现的光度振幅超过8 ppm的预测p模式。在其他太阳型恒星以及前主序星、roAp和delta Scuti变星中也发现了p模。g-模式已经在一系列缓慢脉动的B星、Be星和仙王座β变星中被探测到。对于几颗有斑点的太阳型恒星,已经定义了差动自转,并对某些凌日行星的自转速度和其他扰动行星的存在设定了限制。只要实验继续进行,该任务预计将继续下去。

英文摘要:

The Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) photometric satellite has already undertaken more than 64 primary campaigns which include some clusters and has obtained observations of >850 secondary stars of which ~180 are variable. More than half of the variables pulsate, with the majority being of B-type. Since 2006 January, MOST has operated with only a single CCD for both guiding and science. The resulting increase in read-out cadence has improved precision for the brightest stars. The 2007 light curve for Procyon confirms the lack of predicted p-modes with photometric amplitudes exceeding 8 ppm as we found in 2004 and 2005. p-modes have been detected in other solar-type stars as well as pre-main sequence objects, roAp and delta Scuti variables. g-modes have been detected in a range of slowly pulsating B stars, Be stars and beta Cephei variables. Differential rotation has been defined for several spotted solar-type stars and limits set to the albedo of certain transiting planets and the presence of other perturbing planets. The mission is expected to continue as long as the experiment operates.
