在M/L光谱过渡区寻找恒星的I波段变率

Searching for I band variability in stars in the M/L spectral transition region

Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala, J Gerry Doyle

摘要:

本文报道了用艾萨克·牛顿望远镜对21颗光谱类型在M8和L4之间的恒星进行的I波段光度观测。节奏<2.3分钟的观察总时间为58.5小时,其他数据节奏较低。我们使用Kruskal-Wallis H检验测试光度变化,发现4个光源(2 MASS J10224821+5825453、2 MASS J 07464256 +2000321、2 MASS J16262034+3925190和2 MASS J12464678+4027150)至少在一个时期内存在显著变化。其中三个源首次被报道为光度可变。如果我们包括那些被认为是轻微可变的来源,可变来源的数量是6(29%)。没有从任何来源探测到耀斑。我们发现的变量来源的百分比与以前的研究相似。我们总结了已经提出的解释棕矮星光变曲线的机制。

英文摘要:

We report on I band photometric observations of 21 stars with spectral types between M8 and L4 made using the Isaac Newton Telescope. The total amount of time for observations which had a cadence of <2.3 mins was 58.5 hrs, with additional data with lower cadence. We test for photometric variability using the Kruskal-Wallis H-test and find that 4 sources (2MASS J10224821+5825453, 2MASS J07464256+2000321, 2MASS J16262034+3925190 and 2MASS J12464678+4027150) were found to be significantly variable at least on one epoch. Three of these sources are reported as photometrically variable for the first time. If we include sources which were deemed marginally variable, the number of variable sources is 6 (29 percent). No flares were detected from any source. The percentage of sources which we found were variable is similar to previous studies. We summarise the mechanisms which have been put forward to explain the light curves of brown dwarfs.
