恒星Angular Momentum损耗的磁调制

Magnetic Modulation of Stellar Angular Momentum Loss

Cecilia Garraffo, Jeremy J. Drake, Ofer Cohen

摘要:

角动量损失对于理解天体物理现象,如恒星自转、磁场活动、密近双星和灾变变星等都很重要。磁性破碎是年轻晚型恒星自旋下降的主要机制。我们研究了角动量损失作为恒星磁活动的函数。我们认为,该领域的复杂性和纬度分布是至关重要的角动量损失率。在这项工作中,我们讨论了角动量是如何调制的磁周期,以及如何恒星自旋下降不只是一个简单的函数的大尺度磁场强度。

英文摘要:

Angular Momentum Loss is important for understanding astrophysical phenomena such as stellar rotation, magnetic activity, close binaries, and cataclysmic variables. Magnetic breaking is the dominant mechanism in the spin down of young late-type stars. We have studied angular momentum loss as a function of stellar magnetic activity. We argue that the complexity of the field and its latitudinal distribution are crucial for angular momentum loss rates. In this work we discuss how angular momentum is modulated by magnetic cycles, and how stellar spin down is not just a simple function of large scale magnetic field strength.
