低质量恒星风模型中的压缩磁场观测

Incorporating magnetic field observations in wind models of low-mass stars

A. A. Vidotto

摘要:

冷的主序星的星风非常稀薄,难以观测。尽管它们只带走了少量的恒星质量,但它们对调节恒星的旋转以及其活动和磁性非常重要。当恒星风穿过行星际空间时,它会与途中遇到的任何系外行星相互作用,直到到达星际介质(ISM)。这些相互作用可能导致复杂的物理过程,这取决于风的特性。为了更好地约束风的特性,更现实的风模型,占因素,如恒星旋转和复杂/多样的观测得出的恒星磁场配置的冷恒星是必需的。在本文中,我提出了一个三维模型的冷星风,它采用的边界条件观测导出的磁地图。我还讨论了这些研究是如何相关的,例如,星风和行星之间相互作用的表征/ISM,以及宇宙射线的传播。

英文摘要:

Stellar winds of cool, main-sequence stars are very tenuous and difficult to observe. Despite carrying away only a small amount of the stellar mass, they are important for regulating the rotation of the star and, consequently, its activity and magnetism. As it permeates the interplanetary space, the stellar wind interacts with any exoplanet encountered on its way, until it reaches the interstellar medium (ISM). These interactions can result in complex physical processes that depend on the characteristics of the wind. To better constrain the wind characteristics, more realistic wind models that account for factors such as stellar rotation and the complex/diverse observationally-derived stellar magnetic field configurations of cool stars are required. In this paper, I present a three-dimensional model of the wind of cool stars, which adopt as boundary condition observationally-derived magnetic maps. I also discuss how these studies are relevant for, e.g., the characterisation of the interaction between stellar winds and planets/ISM, and the propagation of cosmic rays.
