弱场和强场发电机:从地球到恒星

Weak and Strong Field Dynamos: from the Earth to the stars

J. Morin, E. Dormy, M. Schrinner, J. -F. Donati

摘要:

最近,对极低质量恒星的磁性观测取得了重要进展,揭示了现在需要在发电机理论框架内理解的特征。与此同时,越来越多的证据表明,这些恒星中的发电机过程与行星发电机有许多相似之处。我们调查的程度弱\emph{vs}强磁场双稳态预测的地球发电机可以适用于最近的两组非常低的质量完全对流恒星共享类似的恒星参数,但产生根本不同类型的磁场的观测。我们的分析是基于以前发表的spectropolarimetric和光谱数据。我们认为,这些都可以在弱场和强场发电机的框架内解释。

英文摘要:

Observations of magnetism in very low mass stars recently made important progress, revealing characteristics that are now to be understood in the framework of dynamo theory. In parallel, there is growing evidence that dynamo processes in these stars share many similarities with planetary dynamos. We investigate the extent to which the weak \emph{vs} strong field bistability predicted for the geodynamo can apply to recent observations of two groups of very low mass fully-convective stars sharing similar stellar parameters but generating radically different types of magnetic fields. Our analysis is based on previously published spectropolarimetric and spectroscopic data. We argue that these can be interpreted in the framework of weak and strong field dynamos.
