摘要:

本文分析了长蛇座TW星协五颗恒星的红外阶梯光谱。我们在四个磁敏感的\ion{Ti}{1}线附近的$2.2 μ$ m模型的塞曼加宽和测量的光球磁场的平均值在每个恒星的表面。为了确保其他加宽机制得到适当的考虑,我们还检查了几个磁不敏感的CO线附近的$2.3 μ$米,并没有发现多余的扩大以上所产生的恒星旋转和仪器加宽,提供信心的宽度的磁性解释的\ion{Ti}{1}线。然后,我们利用我们的结果来测试恒星的磁通量和X射线特性之间的关系,并比较测量场与均分场值。最后,我们使用我们的结果和最近的结果在金牛座的大样本恒星讨论的潜在演化的磁场性质之间的年龄金牛座($\sim$ 2百万年)和年龄的TWA($\sim$ 10百万年)。我们发现,平均恒星磁场强度随年龄的增加,但是,总的无符号磁通量减少的恒星合同到主序星。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of infrared (IR) echelle spectra of five stars in the TW Hydrae Association (TWA). We model the Zeeman broadening in four magnetic-sensitive \ion{Ti}{1} lines near $2.2 μ$m and measure the value of the photospheric magnetic field averaged over the surface of each star. To ensure that other broadening mechanisms are properly taken into account, we also inspect several magnetically insensitive CO lines near $2.3 μ$m and find no excess broadening above that produced by stellar rotation and instrumental broadening, providing confidence in the magnetic interpretation of the width of the \ion{Ti}{1} lines. We then utilize our results to test the relationship between stellar magnetic flux and X-ray properties and compare the measured fields with equipartition field values. Finally, we use our results and recent results on a large sample of stars in Taurus to discuss the potential evolution of magnetic field properties between the age of Taurus ($\sim$2 Myrs) and the age of TWA ($\sim$10 Myrs). We find that the average stellar field strength increases with age; however, the total unsigned magnetic flux decreases as the stars contract onto the main-sequence.
