年轻的酷星们在自转问题上存在分歧

Young Cool Stars Divided on the Issue of Rotation

Søren Meibom

摘要:

我们提出的结果相结合的新的恒星自转周期和广泛的信息成员在年轻的疏散星团M35和M34。观测结果表明,这两个星系团的晚型成员分为两个不同的群体,每个群体的旋转对质量(颜色)的依赖性不同。我们讨论了这些新的结果的背景下,现有的旋转数据的冷恒星在较老的集群,重点是旋转的质量和年龄的依赖。我们简要地提到了作为“天文钟”(陀螺年代学)的自转测试,以及我们计划利用开普勒太空任务将恒星自转周期的观测推到毕宿星团和太阳年龄之外。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a combination of new stellar rotation periods and extensive information about membership in the young open clusters M35 and M34. The observations show that late-type members of both clusters divide into two distinct groups, each with a different dependence of rotation on mass (color). We discuss these new results in the context of existing rotation data for cool stars in older clusters, with a focus on the dependence of rotation on mass and age. We mention briefly tests of rotation as an "astronomical clock" (gyrochronology), and our plans to use the Kepler space mission to push observations of stellar rotation periods beyond the age of the Hyades and the Sun.
