摘要:

我们目前的旋转周期为71个单矮成员的疏散星团NGC 6811确定使用测光从美国宇航局的开普勒任务。这是开普勒星系团研究的第一个结果,该研究将开普勒的测光与地基光谱学结合起来,用于星系团成员和双星。在NGC 6811色周期图中,自转周期描绘了一个紧密的序列,从中F型的约1天到早K型的约11天。这一结果延伸到~1 Gyr,与之前在~600 Myr的毕星团和Praesepe星团中的结果相似,表明冷矮星的旋转周期在颜色(质量),旋转和年龄的三维空间中描绘了一个明确的表面。这意味着,可以得出可靠的年龄与测量的颜色和旋转周期的场矮星,它有望使进一步了解恒星旋转和活动的各个方面的冷星。

英文摘要:

We present rotation periods for 71 single dwarf members of the open cluster NGC6811 determined using photometry from NASA's Kepler Mission. The results are the first from The Kepler Cluster Study which combine Kepler's photometry with ground-based spectroscopy for cluster membership and binarity. The rotation periods delineate a tight sequence in the NGC6811 color-period diagram from ~1 day at mid-F to ~11 days at early-K spectral type. This result extends to ~1 Gyr similar prior results in the ~600 Myr Hyades and Praesepe clusters, suggesting that rotation periods for cool dwarf stars delineate a well-defined surface in the 3-dimensional space of color (mass), rotation, and age. It implies that reliable ages can be derived for field dwarf stars with measured colors and rotation periods, and it promises to enable further understanding of various aspects of stellar rotation and activity for cool stars.
