He I 10830 A谱线所证实的贫金属星色球

Chromospheres in Metal-Poor Stars Evidenced from the He I 10830A Line

Yoichi Takeda, Masahide Takada-Hidai

摘要:

根据33颗晚型星在宽金属丰度范围内的近红外光谱通过对斯巴鲁望远镜IRCS+ AO 188观测到的He I 10830 A谱线(主要是矮星,部分是巨星)的分析,我们证实了He I 10830 A谱线在几乎所有的厚盘和晕族的中贫到极度贫金属恒星中都有吸收(从[Fe/H]~ -0.5到[Fe/H]~ -3.7),其强度几乎不变,与金属丰度无关。这是一个证据,表明即使对于这样的老恒星,色球活动在基础水平上仍然存在,尽管它们的旋转被认为是减慢的,并且不能维持发电机,这表明某种独立于旋转/磁性的色球加热机制(例如,声加热)。

英文摘要:

Based on the near-IR spectra of 33 late-type stars in the wide metallicity range (mainly dwarfs and partly giants) obtained with IRCS+AO188 of the Subaru Telescope, we confirmed that He I 10830A line is seen in absorption in almost all moderately to extremely metal-poor stars of thick disk and halo population (from [Fe/H]~ -0.5 down to [Fe/H]~ -3.7), the strength of which is almost constant irrespective of the metallicity. This is an evidence that chromospheric activity at a basal level persists even for such old stars, despite that their rotations are considered to be slowed down and incapable of sustaining a dynamo, suggesting that some kind of chromospheric heating mechanism independent of rotation/magnetism (e.g., acoustic heating) may take place.
