摘要:

我们比较表面地图的化学奇特的恒星HD 50773产生的贝叶斯技术和高品质的CoRoT光度与来自旋转相位分辨spectropolarimetry。目的是研究表面亮度与表面化学丰度分布和恒星磁场的相关性。该恒星的旋转周期是根据CoRoT初始运行期间获得的近60天长的连续光变曲线确定的。使用贝叶斯方法的星点建模,这在这项工作中是第一次适用于光度映射的CP星,我们推导出的四个不同的点区域的半径,纬度和半径。其他参数,如恒星倾角和斑点的强度也被确定。CoRoT观测引发了广泛的地面光谱和光谱偏振观测活动,使我们能够获得19个不同的高分辨率光谱的斯托克斯参数I和V与NARVAL,ESPaDONS,和SemelPol光谱偏振仪。多普勒和磁多普勒成像技术使我们能够推导出的磁场几何形状的恒星和表面的Mg,Si,Ca,Ti,Cr,Fe,Ni,Y和Cu的丰度分布。我们发现一个占主导地位的偶极结构的表面磁场。CoRoT的光变曲线的变化和丰度的大多数元素映射与上述几何形状:铬,铁,硅周围的磁极增强,并符合与HD 50773的表面上的明亮区域,我们的光变曲线合成预测和确认的光度成像。

英文摘要:

We compare surface maps of the chemically peculiar star HD 50773 produced with a Bayesian technique and based on high quality CoRoT photometry with those derived from rotation phase resolved spectropolarimetry. The goal is to investigate the correlation of surface brightness with surface chemical abundance distribution and the stellar magnetic field. The rotational period of the star was determined from a nearly 60 day long continuous light curve obtained during the initial run of CoRoT. Using a Bayesian approach to star-spot modelling, which in this work is applied for the first time for the photometric mapping of a CP star, we derived longitudes, latitudes and radii of four different spot areas. Additional parameters like stellar inclination and the spot's intensities were also determined. The CoRoT observations triggered an extensive ground-based spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric observing campaign and enabled us to obtain 19 different high resolution spectra in Stokes parameters I and V with NARVAL, ESPaDOnS, and SemelPol spectropolarimeters. Doppler and Magnetic Doppler imaging techniques allowed us to derive the magnetic field geometry of the star and the surface abundance distributions of Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Y, and Cu. We find a dominant dipolar structure of the surface magnetic field. The CoRoT light curve variations and abundances of most elements mapped are correlated with the aforementioned geometry: Cr, Fe, and Si are enhanced around the magnetic poles and coincide with the bright regions on the surface of HD 50773 as predicted by our light curve synthesis and confirmed by photometric imaging.
