摘要:

我们提出了一个高灵敏度的搜索结果的磁场的冷超巨星参宿四。在2010年3月至4月期间,使用Télescope Bernard Lyot(Pic du Midi天文台)的NARVAL分光偏振仪获得了六个圆偏振光谱的时间序列。塞曼签名反复检测到互相关配置文件,对应于约1G的纵向分量。时间序列揭示了一个平滑的纵向场从0.5到1.5 G,与径向速度波动。我们观察到一个强烈的不对称性的斯托克斯V签名,也与径向速度的相关性。Stokes V线剖面相对于Stokes I线剖面发生了约9 km/s的红移,表明观测到的磁元素可能集中在对流的下沉分量中。

英文摘要:

We present the outcome of a highly-sensitive search for magnetic fields on the cool supergiant Betelgeuse. A time-series of six circularly-polarized spectra was obtained using the NARVAL spectropolarimeter at Télescope Bernard Lyot (Pic du Midi Observatory), between 2010 March and April. Zeeman signatures were repeatedly detected in cross-correlation profiles, corresponding to a longitudinal component of about 1 G. The time-series unveils a smooth increase of the longitudinal field from 0.5 to 1.5 G, correlated with radial velocity fluctuations. We observe a strong asymmetry of Stokes V signatures, also varying in correlation with the radial velocity. The Stokes V line profiles are red-shifted by about 9 km/s with respect to the Stokes I profiles, suggesting that the observed magnetic elements may be concentrated in the sinking components of the convective flows.
