摘要:

上下文CoRoT光变曲线具有前所未有的光度质量,同时具有高信噪比、长时间跨度和几乎连续的占空比。目标。我们分析了在地震学领域观察到的四个明亮目标的光变曲线,并研究了类太阳恒星中的短寿命小斑点。方法.我们提出了一个简单的点建模迭代分析。通过实施松弛步骤以避免收敛到观测和建模之间的残差之和的局部最小值,确保了其提取相关参数的能力。使用蒙特卡罗模拟,使我们能够估计的拟合性能。结果我们的星点模型给出了这些恒星上的斑点的表示与其他经过良好测试的方法。在这个框架内,参数,如刚体旋转和光斑寿命似乎是精确确定的。然后,寿命/自转周期比在0.5 - 2的范围内,有明显的差异旋转的证据。

英文摘要:

Context. CoRoT light curves have an unprecedented photometric quality, having simultaneously a high signal-to-noise ratio, a long time span and a nearly continuous duty-cycle. Aims. We analyse the light-curves of four bright targets observed in the seismology field and study short-lived small spots in solar-like stars. Methods. We present a simple spot modeling by iterative analysis. Its ability to extract relevant parameters is ensured by implementing relaxation steps to avoid convergence to local minima of the sum of the residuals between observations and modeling. The use of Monte-Carlo simulations allows us to estimate the performance of the fits. Results. Our starspot modeling gives a representation of the spots on these stars in agreement with other well tested methods. Within this framework, parameters such as rigid-body rotation and spot lifetimes seem to be precisely determined. Then, the lifetime/rotation period ratios are in the range 0.5 - 2, and there is clear evidence for differential rotation.
