色球谱线中星-行星相互作用的研究

A search for star-planet interactions in chromospheric lines

L. F. Lenz, A. Reiners, M. Kürster

摘要:

大质量行星在非常靠近其中心恒星的轨道上可以引起所谓的恒星-行星相互作用(SPI),这可能是磁性或引力性质的。在这两种情况下,SPI都有可能在Ca II H & K和/或H $α$中引起主星的色球层发射。辐射将与行星轨道相联系,而不是与恒星的自转周期相联系。我们使用HRS(HET)和FEROS(La Silla)的高分辨率光谱数据在7颗具有大质量近距离行星的恒星样本中搜索SPI。我们在行星所在的恒星中没有发现周期性的重复发射。在HD 41004 AB的情况下,一个由K矮星和M矮星组成的双星系统,其中M矮星被一个棕矮星伴星环绕,我们发现Ca II K和H $α$发射线的周期变化的迹象,这可能与M矮星和它的伴星之间的相互作用有关。我们提出了我们的第一个结果,这个有趣的系统,可能成为一个重要的系统,了解SPI。

英文摘要:

Massive planets in very close orbits around their central stars can induce so-called star-planet interactions (SPI), which may be of magnetic or gravitational nature. In both cases, SPI can potentially cause recurring chromospheric emission on the host star visible in Ca II H & K and/or H$α$. The emission would be bound to the planetary orbit, not to the rotation period of the star. We searched for SPI in a sample of 7 stars with massive close-in planets using high-resolution spectroscopic data taken at HRS (HET) and FEROS (La Silla). We find no periodically recurring emission in the planet-hosting stars. In the case of HD 41004 AB, a binary system consisting of a K dwarf and an M dwarf, where the M dwarf is orbited by a brown dwarf companion, we find signs of cyclic variation in the Ca II K and H$α$ emission lines that could be associated to interactions between the M dwarf and its companion. We present our first results of this interesting system that may become an important system for the understanding of SPI.
