M9矮星LHS 2065的静态X射线辐射

Quiescent X-ray emission from the M9 dwarf LHS 2065

J. Robrade, J. H. M. M. Schmitt

摘要:

我们研究了LHS 2065的档案XMM-牛顿观测,这是一颗光谱类型为M9的超冷矮星。我们在软X射线能量下,使用PN和MOS 1探测器,在低于1小时的有效曝光时间内,在高于3 sigma的水平上,清晰地检测到LHS 2065。没有耀斑信号,我们将X射线探测归因于准静态活动。从PN数据中我们得到了0.3-0.8 keV波段的X射线光度L_x = 2.2 +/- 0.7 × 10^26 erg/s,相应的活动水平log L_x/L_bol = -3.7,表明这是一颗相当活跃的恒星。存在微小变异性和可能伴随的光谱变化的迹象,但是曝光时间短和数据质量差妨碍了更详细的分析。LHS 2065是最冷和质量最小的恒星之一,在准静止状态下以可检测的水平发射X射线,这意味着日冕的存在。

英文摘要:

We investigate an archival XMM-Newton observation of LHS 2065, an ultracool dwarf with spectral type M9. We clearly detect LHS 2065 at soft X-ray energies in less than 1 h effective exposure time above the 3 sigma level with the PN and MOS1 detector. No flare signatures are present and we attribute the X-ray detection to quasi-quiescent activity. From the PN data we derive an X-ray luminosity of L_x = 2.2 +/- 0.7 x 10^26 erg/s in the 0.3-0.8 keV band, the corresponding activity level of log L_x/L_bol = -3.7 points to a rather active star. Indications for minor variability and possible accompanying spectral changes are present, however the short exposure time and poor data quality prevents a more detailed analysis. LHS 2065 is one of the coolest and least massive stars that emits X-rays at detectable levels in quasi-quiescence, implying the existence of a corona.
