摘要:

我们报告的结果,体积有限的调查使用澳大利亚望远镜紧凑阵列搜索瞬态和静态的无线电发射从15个南半球超冷矮星。我们探测到来自2 MASSW J 0004348 -404405的无线电发射,使无线电噪音超冷矮星的数量增加到22个。我们还观察到来自2 MASS J10481463-3956062和2 MASSI J 0339352 -352544的无线电发射,这两个源之前曾检测到无线电。从三个探测到的源的无线电发射显示没有变化或耀斑发射。模拟这种静态发射,我们发现,它是一致的光学薄的回旋同步辐射从磁层发射区半径为(1 - 2)$R_*$,磁场倾角20 $^{\circ}$ - 80 $^{\circ}$,场强$\sim$ 10 - 200 G,和幂律电子密度$\sim$ 10 $^4$ - 10 $^8$ cm $^{-3}$。此外,我们对四个没有先前无线电观测的超冷矮星进行了上限。这使得在射频下研究的超冷矮星的数量增加到222个。分析这个样本的15个源的无线电发射的一般趋势,我们发现,无线电活动增加后的频谱类型和更迅速地旋转的对象。此外,比较这些源的射电与X射线光度的比值,我们发现2 MASS J10481463-3956062和2 MASSI J 0339352 -352544违反了Guedel-Benz关系超过两个数量级。

英文摘要:

We report the results of a volume-limited survey using the Australia Telescope Compact Array to search for transient and quiescent radio emission from 15 southern hemisphere ultracool dwarfs. We detect radio emission from 2MASSW J0004348-404405 increasing the number of radio loud ultracool dwarfs to 22. We also observe radio emission from 2MASS J10481463-3956062 and 2MASSI J0339352-352544, two sources with previous radio detections. The radio emission from the three detected sources shows no variability or flare emission. Modelling this quiescent emission we find that it is consistent with optically thin gyrosynchrotron emission from a magnetosphere with an emitting region radius of (1 - 2)$R_*$, magnetic field inclination 20$^{\circ}$ - 80$^{\circ}$, field strength $\sim$10 - 200 G, and power-law electron density $\sim$10$^4$ - 10$^8$ cm$^{-3}$. Additionally, we place upper limits on four ultracool dwarfs with no previous radio observations. This increases the number of ultracool dwarfs studied at radio frequencies to 222. Analysing general trends of the radio emission for this sample of 15 sources, we find that the radio activity increases for later spectral types and more rapidly rotating objects. Furthermore, comparing the ratio of the radio to X-ray luminosities for these sources, we find 2MASS J10481463-3956062 and 2MASSI J0339352-352544 violate the Guedel-Benz relation by more than two orders of magnitude.
