摘要:

K2和TESS等天基任务的高精度测光使人们能够详细研究年轻恒星的变化。然而,由于天基观测活动往往时间较短(例如,K2为80天),补充的长基线光度测量对于全面了解年轻恒星的变化至关重要,这种变化可以在几分钟到几年的时间尺度上变化。因此,我们提出并分析了上天蝎座协会成员的光变曲线,这些成员是由地基千度极小望远镜(KELT)在5.5年内完成的,这补充了K2在其活动2和15期间对该地区的高精度观测。我们表明,KELT数据准确地识别高精度K2测光发现的周期性信号,展示了地面测量在推导年轻恒星的恒星自转周期方面的能力。我们还使用KELT数据来识别可能与星周物质和/或恒星活动周期相关的变异性来源;这些特征在短期K2数据中通常是看不见的,说明了长期监测调查对研究年轻恒星变异性的重要性。我们提供的KELT光变曲线作为电子表格在一个正在进行的努力,建立遗留的时间序列数据集的年轻星团。

英文摘要:

High-precision photometry from space-based missions such as K2 and TESS enables detailed studies of young star variability. However, because space-based observing campaigns are often short (e.g., 80 days for K2), complementary long-baseline photometric surveys are critical for obtaining a complete understanding of young star variability, which can change on timescales of minutes to years. We therefore present and analyze light curves of members of the Upper Scorpius association made over 5.5 years by the ground-based Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), which complement the high-precision observations of this region taken by K2 during its Campaigns~2 and 15. We show that KELT data accurately identify the periodic signals found with high-precision K2 photometry, demonstrating the power of ground-based surveys in deriving stellar rotation periods of young stars. We also use KELT data to identify sources exhibiting variability that is likely related to circumstellar material and/or stellar activity cycles; these signatures are often unseen in the short-term K2 data, illustrating the importance of long-term monitoring surveys for studying the full range of young star variability. We provide the KELT light curves as electronic tables in an ongoing effort to establish legacy time-series datasets for young stellar clusters.
