开普勒目标列表的真实恒星参数

The true stellar parameters of the Kepler target list

R. Farmer, U. Kolb, A. J. Norton

摘要:

使用人口合成工具,我们创建一个合成开普勒输入目录(KIC),并将其开普勒恒星分类程序(SCP)的方法,以确定恒星的参数,如有效温度Teff和表面重力g。我们实现了一个令人满意的匹配之间的合成KIC和真实的KIC的log g与log Teff图,而实际的物理恒星参数和那些由合成样本中的恒星的SCP得出的有显着差异。我们发现主序星的中位差ΔTeff=+500K和Δlog g =-0.2dex,巨星的中位差ΔTeff=+50K和Δlog g =-0.5dex,尽管在参数空间上有很大的变化。对于MS恒星,g的中位数差异相当于恒星半径增加约3%,因此对于任何凌日系外行星的半径高估了约3%。我们发现双星系统中的主星和单星的ΔTeff和Δlog g之间没有显著差异。我们还重新创建了开普勒目标选择方法,发现目标选择的二元分数是不变的。双星的选择比例与单恒星系统相似;样本中MS矮星的比例从75%增加到80%,巨星的比例从25%减少到20%。

英文摘要:

Using population synthesis tools we create a synthetic Kepler Input Catalogue (KIC) and subject it to the Kepler Stellar Classification Program (SCP) method for determining stellar parameters such as the effective temperature Teff and surface gravity g. We achieve a satisfactory match between the synthetic KIC and the real KIC in the log g vs log Teff diagram, while there is a significant difference between the actual physical stellar parameters and those derived by the SCP of the stars in the synthetic sample. We find a median difference ΔTeff=+500K and Δlog g =-0.2dex for main-sequence stars, and ΔTeff=+50K and Δlog g =-0.5dex for giants, although there is a large variation across parameter space. For a MS star the median difference in g would equate to a ~3% increase in stellar radius and a consequent ~3% overestimate of the radius for any transiting exoplanet. We find no significant difference between ΔTeff and Δlog g for single stars and the primary star in a binary system. We also re-created the Kepler target selection method and found that the binary fraction is unchanged by the target selection. Binaries are selected in similar proportions to single star systems; the fraction of MS dwarfs in the sample increases from about 75% to 80%, and the giant star fraction decreases from 25% to 20%.
