冷双星的旋转、活动和锂丰度

Rotation, activity, and lithium abundance in cool binary stars

K. G. Strassmeier, M. Weber, T. Granzer, S. Järvinen

摘要:

我们已经使用了两个机器人望远镜,以获得时间序列的高分辨率光谱和VI和/或测光的样本60活跃的恒星。给出了26个SB 2和19个SB 1系统的轨道解,具有前所未有的相位覆盖和精度。总共6,609个R= 55,000的阶梯光谱也被用来系统地确定有效温度、重力、金属丰度、旋转速度、锂丰度和绝对Hα-核心通量作为时间的函数。测光用于推断无斑点的亮度、V-I和/或b-y颜色、斑点引起的亮度振幅和精确的旋转周期。我们的数据是补充文献数据,并用于确定旋转温度活性二元组分的关系。我们还将锂丰度与旋转和表面温度联系起来。我们发现,所有已知的快速旋转的活动双星的74%是同步的,并在圆形轨道,但26%的旋转是异步的,其中一半的Prot > Porb和e > 0。由于旋转同步被预测发生在轨道圆化之前,所以活动双星除了潮汐耗散之外,还应该经历额外的自旋下降。我们怀疑这是由于磁通道风及其随后的制动扭矩。我们发现,一个陡峭的旋转周期的有效温度降低活跃的恒星。对于不活跃的,Prot > 100 d的单巨星,这种关系要弱得多。我们的数据还表明,Hα的周期-活动关系的形式RHα \propto P - 0.24的双星和RHα \propto P-0.14的单打。在我们的样品中,锂的丰度随着有效温度的增加而增加。平均而言,可比的有效温度的二进制似乎表现出0.25德克斯比单身少表面锂。我们还发现Li丰度随旋转周期的增加呈log n(Li)\propto - 0.6 log Prot的趋势。

英文摘要:

We have used two robotic telescopes to obtain time-series high-resolution spectroscopy and V I and/or by photometry for a sample of 60 active stars. Orbital solutions are presented for 26 SB2 and 19 SB1 systems with unprecedented phase coverage and accuracy. The total of 6,609 R=55,000 echelle spectra are also used to systematically determine effective temperatures, gravities, metallicities, rotational velocities, lithium abundances and absolute Hα-core fluxes as a function of time. The photometry is used to infer unspotted brightness, V - I and/or b - y colors, spot-induced brightness amplitudes and precise rotation periods. Our data are complemented by literature data and are used to determine rotation-temperature-activity relations for active binary components. We also relate lithium abundance to rotation and surface temperature. We find that 74% of all known rapidly-rotating active binary stars are synchronized and in circular orbits but 26% are rotating asynchronously of which half have Prot > Porb and e > 0. Because rotational synchronization is predicted to occur before orbital circularization active binaries should undergo an extra spin-down besides tidal dissipation. We suspect this to be due to a magnetically channeled wind with its subsequent braking torque. We find a steep increase of rotation period with decreasing effective temperature for active stars. For inactive, single giants with Prot > 100 d, the relation is much weaker. Our data also indicate a period-activity relation for Hα of the form RHα \propto P - 0.24 for binaries and RHα \propto P -0.14 for singles. Lithium abundances in our sample increase with effective temperature. On average, binaries of comparable effective temperature appear to exhibit 0.25 dex less surface lithium than singles. We also find a trend of increased Li abundance with rotational period of form log n(Li) \propto - 0.6 log Prot.
