HAT-P-11的星点:类太阳发电机的证据

The Starspots of HAT-P-11: Evidence for a Solar-like Dynamo

Brett M. Morris, Leslie Hebb, James R. A. Davenport, Graeme Rohn, Suzanne L. Hawley

摘要:

利用开普勒短频测光方法测量了K4矮星HAT-P-11上的星斑半径和纬度分布。我们利用其高度错位的行星掩星的优势,比较斑点的大小和纬度分布的太阳黑子。我们发现HAT-P-11的黑子在太阳活动极大值附近的纬度分布与太阳黑子非常相似,平均黑子纬度为$16 \pm 1$度。HAT-P-11的大多数恒星黑子的物理尺寸与太阳活动最大时的太阳黑子非常相似。我们估计HAT-P-11上的平均斑点面积覆盖率为$3^{+6}_{-1}\%$,大约比典型的太阳斑点面积大两个数量级。

英文摘要:

We measure the starspot radii and latitude distribution on the K4 dwarf HAT-P-11 from Kepler short-cadence photometry. We take advantage of starspot occultations by its highly-misaligned planet to compare the spot size and latitude distributions to those of sunspots. We find that the spots of HAT-P-11 are distributed in latitude much like sunspots near solar activity maximum, with mean spot latitude of $16 \pm 1$ degrees. The majority of starspots of HAT-P-11 have physical sizes that closely resemble the sizes of sunspots at solar maximum. We estimate the mean spotted area coverage on HAT-P-11 is $3^{+6}_{-1}\%$, roughly two orders of magnitude greater than the typical solar spotted area.
