摘要:

我们提出了连续的,高精度的测光监测数据与1分钟的节奏的dM 3e耀斑星AD狮子座与{ \it MOST}卫星。我们在5.8天内观测到19次耀斑,发现耀斑频率分布与以前的研究相似。光变曲线揭示了一个周期为$2.23^{+0.36}_{-0.27}$天的正弦调制,我们将其归因于恒星黑子的旋转。我们没有看到耀斑的发生和旋转相位之间的相关性,这表明可能有许多点分布在不同的位置,或者可能的调制是由一个大的极点,被认为是近pole-on. The数据显示耀斑能量和时间之间没有相关性,因为以前的耀斑的表面覆盖范围的变化。我们使用这些结果拒绝一个简单的模型,其中所有的磁能存储在一个活跃的地区,只有在耀斑释放。

英文摘要:

We present continuous, high-precision photometric monitoring data with 1 minute cadence of the dM3e flare star AD Leo with the {\it MOST} satellite. We observed 19 flares in 5.8 days, and find a flare frequency distribution that is similar to previous studies. The light curve reveals a sinusoidal modulation with period of $2.23^{+0.36}_{-0.27}$ days that we attribute to the rotation of a stellar spot rotating into and out of view. We see no correlation between the occurrence of flares and rotational phase, indicating that there may be many spots distributed at different longitudes, or possibly that the modulation is caused by varying surface coverage of a large polar spot that is viewed nearly pole-on. The data show no correlation between flare energy and the time since the previous flare. We use these results to reject a simple model in which all magnetic energy is stored in one active region and released only during flares.
