摘要:

我们提出了多望远镜,地基,多波长光学和近红外测光的可变L3.5超冷矮星2 MASSW J 0036159 +182110。我们呈现了2 MASSW J 0036159 +182110的22个夜晚的测光,包括7个夜晚的同时多波长测光,分布在约120天内,使我们能够确定这个超冷矮星的旋转周期为3.080 +/- 0.001小时。我们的许多夜晚的多波长测光使我们能够观察演变,或者更具体地说是缺乏演变,光变曲线的变化。在我们的多波长测光中缺乏可辨别的相移,并且随着2 MASSW J 0036159 +182110移动到更长的波长,变化的幅度通常会降低,这通常与驱动这个超冷矮星的变化的恒星黑子一致,恒星黑子比~1700 K的光球热或冷约100 K。此外,还需要相当厚的云来拟合2 MASSW J 0036159 +182110的光谱,这表明在驱动这个超冷矮星的变化的恒星黑子和似乎包裹这个超冷矮星的云之间可能存在一些复杂的相互作用。

英文摘要:

We present multi-telescope, ground-based, multiwavelength optical and near-infrared photometry of the variable L3.5 ultra-cool dwarf 2MASSW J0036159+182110. We present 22 nights of photometry of 2MASSW J0036159+182110, including 7 nights of simultaneous, multiwavelength photometry, spread over ~120 days allowing us to determine the rotation period of this ultra-cool dwarf to be 3.080 +/- 0.001 hr. Our many nights of multiwavelength photometry allow us to observe the evolution, or more specifically the lack thereof, of the light curve over a great many rotation periods. The lack of discernible phase shifts in our multiwavelength photometry, and that the amplitude of variability generally decreases as one moves to longer wavelengths for 2MASSW J0036159+182110, is generally consistent with starspots driving the variability on this ultra-cool dwarf, with starspots that are ~100 degrees K hotter or cooler than the ~1700 K photosphere. Also, reasonably thick clouds are required to fit the spectra of 2MASSW J0036159+182110, suggesting there likely exists some complex interplay between the starspots driving the variability of this ultra-cool dwarf and the clouds that appear to envelope this ultra-cool dwarf.
