摘要:

本文介绍了在对金牛座T型弱线星和金牛座T型后弱线星进行光度和光谱观测的基础上,对金牛座T型弱线星和金牛座T型后弱线星的零龄主序星进行研究的进展。这项研究是一个项目的一部分,该项目基于FOCES@CAHA(西班牙)和SARG@TNG(西班牙)获得的高分辨率光谱以及在卡塔尼亚(意大利)和Ege(土耳其)天文台进行的同期光度测定。主要目的是研究年轻单星光球层和色球层磁活动区的拓扑结构。由于我们的目标是慢旋转(vsini < 25 km/s),对应于旋转周期大于2天左右,我们能够应用基于线深比的光谱技术来测量光球温度调制。这些恒星,可能是恒星运动学群的成员,在CaII H&K和IRT线上显示出发射核心,以及明显的Halalpha核心填充。此外,我们还探测到来自色球上层的HeI-D3线的吸收,推导出锂的丰度(年龄指标),并测量旋转和径向速度。我们发现一个明确的旋转调制,由于光球斑点,无论是在光和温度曲线。Halalpha和CalII-IRT的排放量显示出与旋转相关的公平变化。最后,我们正在开发一个点/谱斑模型再现的数据和推导出的点参数(即,填充因子和温度),并恢复有关色球不均匀性(通量对比度和填充因子)的信息。这项研究对于探索全球恒星参数(例如,表面重力、有效温度)和不同活动水平和演化阶段恒星的斑/谱斑特征。

英文摘要:

We present the work in progress of a study based on photometric and spectroscopic observations of young Weak-line T Tauri and Post T Tauri stars just attiving on the Zero Age Main Sequence. This study is part of a project based on high-resolution spectra obtained with FOCES@CAHA (Spain) and SARG@TNG (Spain) and contemporaneous photometry performed at Catania (Italy) and Ege (Turkey) observatories. The main aim is to investigate the topology of magnetic active regions at photospheric and chromospheric levels in young single stars. Since our targets are slow rotators (vsini < 25 km/s), corresponding to rotation periods larger than about 2 days, we are able to apply the spectroscopic technique based on line-depth ratio for the measure of the photospheric temperature modulation. These stars, possible members of Stellar Kinematic Groups, display emission cores in the CaII H&K and IRT lines, as well as a conspicuous filling-in of the Halpha core. Moreover, we detect absorption of the HeI-D3 line, coming from the upper chromospheric layers, derive the lithium abundance (age indicator), and measure the rotational and radial velocities. We find a clear rotational modulation, due to photospheric spots, both in the light and the temperature curves. The Halpha and the CaII-IRT emissions display a fair variation correlated with the rotation. Finally, we are developing a spot/plage model to reproduce the data and derive the spot parameters (namely, filling factor and temperature) and to recover information about the chromospheric inhomogeneities (flux contrast and filling factor). This study is very important to explore the correlations between global stellar parameters (e.g., surface gravity, effective temperature) and spot/plage characteristics in stars with different activity level and evolutionary stage.
