冷星的Angular Momentum损失:一种经验表达及其与恒星活动的联系

Angular Momentum Loss from Cool Stars: An Empirical Expression and Connection to Stellar Activity

Sydney A. Barnes, Yong-Cheol Kim

摘要:

我们在这里表明,旋转周期数据在疏散星团允许的经验确定的表达的损失率的角动量从冷恒星的主序星。一个重要的组成部分的表达,依赖于旋转速率,坚持从以前的工作,其他人没有。这个表达式有一个分叉,和以前一样,对应于同时代疏散星团恒星自转周期中观察到的分叉。这种损失率对恒星质量的双重依赖性由两个函数$f(B-V)$和$T(B-V)$捕获,这两个函数可以从自转周期观测中确定。等效质量和其他[UBVRIJHK]颜色见表1。尺寸的考虑,并与适当的计算量的比较表明$f$和$T$的解释,这两个似乎是密切相关的(但不同)计算的对流周转时间尺度,$τ_c$,在冷星。这种识别使我们能够写下对称的表达式的角动量损失率和减速的冷恒星,也恢复对流周转时间尺度恒星自转和恒星活动物理之间的重要联系。

英文摘要:

We show here that the rotation period data in open clusters allow the empirical determination of an expression for the rate of loss of angular momentum from cool stars on the main sequence. One significant component of the expression, the dependence on rotation rate, persists from prior work; others do not. The expression has a bifurcation, as before, that corresponds to an observed bifurcation in the rotation periods of coeval open cluster stars. The dual dependencies of this loss rate on stellar mass are captured by two functions, $f(B-V)$ and $T(B-V)$, that can be determined from the rotation period observations. Equivalent masses and other [UBVRIJHK] colors are provided in Table 1. Dimensional considerations, and a comparison with appropriate calculated quantities suggest interpretations for $f$ and $T$, both of which appear to be related closely (but differently) to the calculated convective turnover timescale, $τ_c$, in cool stars. This identification enables us to write down symmetrical expressions for the angular momentum loss rate and the deceleration of cool stars, and also to revive the convective turnover timescale as a vital connection between stellar rotation and stellar activity physics.
