利用MOST资料计算Eri的差旋光度

The differential rotation of epsilon Eri from MOST data

H. -E. Froehlich

摘要:

从高精度MOST测光跨越35天的存在两个点旋转略有不同的周期被证实。从导出的差分旋转参数k的边际概率分布,其期望值以及置信限直接从数据计算。结果取决于倾角i的假设范围,而不是先验分布的形状。考虑了两种情况:(a)假设角度、恒星倾角i和光斑纬度beta_1,2的先验在i、beta_1和beta_2上是常数。(b)假设先验在cosi、sin beta_1和sin beta_2上是常数。在这两种情况下,都考虑了倾角的整个范围:0 ^o < = i< = 90 ^o。无标度参数,即周期和斑点面积(在小斑点的情况下)是以图解方式取得的。不管先验的形状如何,k被限制为0.03 < = k < = 0.10(一西格玛极限)。恒星的倾角i在光度学上是不明确的。

英文摘要:

From high-precision MOST photometry spanning 35 days the existence of two spots rotating with slightly differing periods is confirmed. From the marginal probability distribution of the derived differential rotation parameter k its expectation value as well as confidence limits are computed directly from the data. The result depends on the assumed range in inclination i, not on the shape of the prior distributions. Two cases have been considered: (a) The priors for angles, inclination i of the star and spot latitudes beta_1,2, are assumed to be constant over i, beta_1, and beta_2. (b) The priors are assumed to be constant over cosi, sin beta_1, and sin beta_2. In both cases the full range of inclination is considered: 0^o< = i< = 90^o. Scale-free parameters, i.e. periods and spot areas (in case of small spots) are taken logarithmically. Irrespective of the shape of the prior, k is restricted to 0.03 < = k < = 0.10 (one-sigma limits). The inclination i of the star is photometrically ill-defined.
