A Large Sample of Photometric Rotation Periods for FGK Pleiades Stars

Joel D. Hartman, Gáspár Á Bakos, Géza Kovács, Robert W. Noyes

摘要:

利用HATNet对凌日系外行星的调查数据,我们测量了368颗0.4 Msun <M <1.3 Msun的昂宿星团恒星的光度旋转周期。我们检测到74%的星系团成员在这个质量范围内,在我们的视野,和93%的成员与0.7 Msun <M <1.0 Msun的周期性变化。这增加了,由五个因素,昴星团成员的数量与测量周期。包括在我们的样本是14个新确定的可能的集群成员,自行,测光,和旋转周期一致的成员资格。我们将这些数据与该星团文献中可用的光谱测定的投影赤道自转速度(vsini)的丰富样本进行了比较。对于M> 0.85 Msun的恒星,如果假设中等的微分自转律,则自转周期、vsini和半径的估计与自转轴各向同性分布的恒星一致。对于M <0.85 Msun的恒星,推断的sini值系统地大于1.0。这些观测结果表明,对于该星团中的低质量恒星,测量参数P(vsini)/R的组合过大了\sim 24%。通过比较我们新的昴星团质量-周期关系和稍老的星团M35,我们证实了以前的迹象,即对于0.7 Msun <M <1.1 Msun的最慢旋转恒星,自旋下降停滞在\sim 1亿r,这一事实可能表明,在缓慢旋转的太阳质量恒星中,角动量的内部传输效率很低。

英文摘要:

Using data from the HATNet survey for transiting exoplanets we measure photometric rotation periods for 368 Pleiades stars with 0.4 Msun < M < 1.3 Msun. We detect periodic variability for 74% of the cluster members in this mass range that are within our field-of-view, and 93% of the members with 0.7 Msun < M < 1.0 Msun. This increases, by a factor of five, the number of Pleiades members with measured periods. Included in our sample are 14 newly identified probable cluster members which have proper motions, photometry, and rotation periods consistent with membership. We compare this data to the rich sample of spectroscopically determined projected equatorial rotation velocities (vsini) available in the literature for this cluster. For stars with M > 0.85 Msun the rotation periods, vsini and radius estimates are consistent with the stars having an isotropic distribution of rotation axes, if a moderate differential rotation law is assumed. For stars with M < 0.85 Msun the inferred sini values are systematically larger than 1.0. These observations imply that the combination of measured parameters P(vsini)/R is too large by \sim 24% for low-mass stars in this cluster. By comparing our new mass-period relation for the Pleiades to the slightly older cluster M35, we confirm previous indications that the spin-down stalls at \sim 100 Myr for the slowest rotating stars with 0.7 Msun < M < 1.1 Msun a fact which may indicate that the internal transport of angular momentum is inefficient in slowly rotating solar mass stars.
