Differential rotation of main-sequence dwarfs: predicting the dependence on surface temperature and rotation rate

L. L. Kitchatinov, S. V. Olemskoy

摘要:

陀螺年代学和最近的理论研究成果被用来减少差分旋转模型的输入参数的数量。这最终导致一个理论预测的表面差异旋转的函数只有两个恒星参数-表面温度和旋转周期-可以定义的观测。提出了该函数的解析近似。证实了随温度的升高,差动旋转增加的趋势。与G-矮星和K-矮星相比,晚期F-矮星的增加要陡峭得多。慢和快旋转制度的内部恒星旋转。一颗恒星在这两种状态之间的自转速率下达到最大的差动自转。旋转流的振幅随表面温度和转速的增加而增大。流动的结构在慢旋转和快旋转的情况之间变化很大。快速旋转器中的流动集中在对流区顶部和底部附近的边界层中,其间有非常弱的环流。

英文摘要:

Gyrochronology and recent theoretical findings are used to reduce the number of input parameters of differential rotation models. This eventually leads to a theoretical prediction for the surface differential rotation as a function of only two stellar parameters - surface temperature and rotation period - that can be defined observationally. An analytical approximation for this function is suggested. The tendency for the differential rotation to increase with temperature is confirmed. The increase is much steeper for late F-stars compared to G- and K-dwarfs. Slow and fast rotation regimes for internal stellar rotation are identified. A star attains its maximum differential rotation at rotation rates intermediate between these two regimes. The amplitude of the meridional flow increases with surface temperature and rotation rate. The structure of the flow changes considerably between cases of slow and fast rotation. The flow in rapid rotators is concentrated in the boundary layers near the top and bottom of the convection zone with very weak circulation in between.
