摘要:

在太阳型恒星中,对流蓝移的衰减由恒星的磁活动主导RV变化的低振幅信号引起的低质量的行星。不同于太阳的恒星模型需要对对流蓝移的衰减有很好的了解,以估计其对变化的影响。因此,不仅要精确确定不同类型恒星的对流蓝移幅度,而且还要确定这种对流蓝移对磁活动的依赖性,因为这些是我们模型产生RV的关键因素。我们研究了一个样本的主序星的光谱类型从G0到K2,并专注于他们的时间平均属性:活动水平和标准,允许对流蓝移的振幅。我们发现由于对流的谱线的微分速度位移取决于光谱类型,波长(这种依赖关系与Teff和活动水平),并在活动水平。这使我们能够量化的颗粒化性质的依赖性对磁性活动的恒星以外的太阳。对流蓝移的衰减因子在所考虑的光谱类型范围内似乎是恒定的。我们推导出一个对流蓝移,朝向较低的温度,与Teff低于5800 K的模型密切一致的趋势,但具有显着更大的全球振幅。最后,我们比较观察到的RV变化幅度与那些可以来自我们的对流蓝移使用一个简单的法律,并找到一个普遍的协议的幅度。我们的研究结果与以前的结果是一致的,并提供,第一次,对流蓝移的Teff,磁活动和波长的函数,在一个大样本的G和K主序星的估计。

英文摘要:

In solar-type stars, the attenuation of convective blueshift by stellar magnetic activity dominates the RV variations over the low amplitude signal induced by low mass planets. Models of stars that differ from the Sun will require a good knowledge of the attenuation of the convective blueshift to estimate its impact on the variations. It is therefore crucial to precisely determine not only the amplitude of the convective blueshift for different types of stars, but also the dependence of this convective blueshift on magnetic activity, as these are key factors in our model producing the RV. We studied a sample of main sequence stars with spectral types from G0 to K2 and focused on their temporally averaged properties: the activity level and a criterion allowing to characterise the amplitude of the convective blueshift. We find the differential velocity shifts of spectral lines due to convection to depend on the spectral type, the wavelength (this dependence is correlated with the Teff and activity level), and on the activity level. This allows us to quantify the dependence of granulation properties on magnetic activity for stars other than the Sun. The attenuation factor of the convective blueshift appears to be constant over the considered range of spectral types. We derive a convective blueshift which decreases towards lower temperatures, with a trend in close agreement with models for Teff lower than 5800 K, but with a significantly larger global amplitude. We finally compare the observed RV variation amplitudes with those that could be derived from our convective blueshift using a simple law and find a general agreement on the amplitude. Our results are consistent with previous results and provide, for the first time, an estimation of the convective blueshift as a function of Teff, magnetic activity, and wavelength, over a large sample of G and K main sequence stars.
