摘要:

我们分析了开普勒和开普勒感兴趣的物体(KOI)检测到的已确认行星的当前样本的宿主恒星,以计算新的光度旋转周期并研究其角动量的行为。Lomb-Scaggle周期图和小波图计算了3,807颗恒星。对于其中的540颗恒星,我们能够检测到光变曲线的旋转调制,其显著性水平超过99%。对于这540颗恒星中的63颗,以前文献中没有旋转测量。根据已公布的样本中恒星的质量和演化轨迹,样本由M-到F-型恒星(质量为0.48-1.53 M $_{\odot}$)组成,自转周期为2 - 89天。这些周期表现出良好的协议与以前报道的(对于这样的值是可用的恒星),观察到的旋转周期分布与理论预测非常一致。此外,对于这里考虑的540个源,恒星的角动量提供了一个重要的测试卡夫关系的基础上光度旋转周期。最后,这项研究直接有助于我们理解角动量如何在宿主恒星及其(检测到的)行星系统之间分布;角动量交换在此类系统中的作用是恒星旋转难题中不可避免的一部分。

英文摘要:

We analyzed the host stars of the present sample of confirmed planets detected by Kepler and Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI) to compute new photometric rotation periods and to study the behavior of their angular momentum. Lomb-Scargle periodograms and wavelet maps were computed for 3,807 stars. For 540 of these stars, we were able to detect rotational modulation of the light curves at a significance level of greater than 99%. For 63 of these 540 stars, no rotation measurements were previously available in the literature. According to the published masses and evolutionary tracks of the stars in this sample, the sample is composed of M- to F-type stars (with masses of 0.48-1.53 M$_{\odot}$) with rotation periods that span a range of 2 to 89 days. These periods exhibit an excellent agreement with previously reported (for the stars for which such values are available), and the observed rotational period distribution strongly agrees with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, for the 540 sources considered here, the stellar angular momentum provides an important test of Kraft's relation based on the photometric rotation periods. Finally, this study directly contributes in a direct approach to our understanding of how angular momentum is distributed between the host star and its (detected) planetary system; the role of angular momentum exchange in such systems is an unavoidable piece of the stellar rotation puzzle.
