摘要:

我们目前的基本天体物理性质的测量附近,低质量,K-和M-矮星从我们的DISCOS调查(直径冷星)。我们研究的主要目标是确定这些恒星的线性半径和有效温度。我们使用CHARA阵列和依巴谷距离从角直径测量计算它们的半径。结合文献测光的辐射热通量测量,我们使用我们的角直径的结果来计算它们的有效表面温度。我们目前的初步结果建立在各种经验关系的恒星有效温度和半径,是基于这些测量。我们详细阐述了理论和观测到的恒星半径之间的差异,以前声称是与恒星活动和/或金属丰度。然而,我们的初步结论是,对流在确定这些晚型恒星的半径方面起着更大的作用。了解半径差异的来源可能会影响低质量恒星的其他研究领域,例如在宜居带中探测和描述太阳系外行星。

英文摘要:

We present measurements of fundamental astrophysical properties of nearby, low-mass, K- and M-dwarfs from our DISCOS survey (DIameterS of COol Stars). The principal goal of our study is the determination of linear radii and effective temperatures for these stars. We calculate their radii from angular diameter measurements using the CHARA Array and Hipparcos distances. Combined with bolometric flux measurements based on literature photometry, we use our angular diameter results to calculate their effective surface temperatures. We present preliminary results established on an assortment of empirical relations to the stellar effective temperature and radius that are based upon these measurements. We elaborate on the discrepancy seen between theoretical and observed stellar radii, previously claimed to be related to stellar activity and/or metallicity. Our preliminary conclusion, however, is that convection plays a larger role in the determination of radii of these late-type stars. Understanding the source of the radius disagreement is likely to impact other areas of study for low-mass stars, such as the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets in the habitable zones.
