摘要:

基于CFHT/ESPaDOnS获得的光学高分辨光谱,我们给出了442个低质量K5-M7矮星的活动和磁场代理的新测量结果。对这些物体进行了分析,将其作为潜在目标,用新的分光偏振计和高精度速度计SPIRou寻找行星质量伴星。我们分析了它们的高分辨率光谱在一个均匀的方式:圆偏振,色球功能,和塞曼加宽的FeH红外线。这些活动指标之间的复杂关系进行了分析:虽然没有强有力的连接之间的大规模和小规模的磁场,后者与非热通量起源于色球层。然后,我们研究了各种活动诊断和光学径向速度抖动之间的关系,在文献中,特别是行星宿主恒星。我们用它来推导出所有恒星的活动价值函数(更安静的恒星)的目标是确定最有利的恒星的径向速度抖动是足够低的行星搜索。我们发现大尺度磁场和色球非热辐射是RV抖动的主要贡献者。此外,三颗恒星(GJ 1289,GJ 793,和GJ 251)已被跟踪沿其旋转使用分光偏振模式,我们推导出它们的磁拓扑结构。这些非常慢的旋转器是未来SPIRou目标的良好代表。它们与其他已知磁拓扑的恒星进行了比较。磁场的极向分量在所有三颗恒星中都占主导地位。

英文摘要:

Based on optical high-resolution spectra obtained with CFHT/ESPaDOnS, we present new measurements of activity and magnetic field proxies of 442 low-mass K5-M7 dwarfs. The objects were analysed as potential targets to search for planetary-mass companions with the new spectropolarimeter and high-precision velocimeter, SPIRou. We have analysed their high-resolution spectra in an homogeneous way: circular polarisation, chromospheric features, and Zeeman broadening of the FeH infrared line. The complex relationship between these activity indicators is analysed: while no strong connection is found between the large-scale and small-scale magnetic fields, the latter relates with the non-thermal flux originating in the chromosphere. We then examine the relationship between various activity diagnostics and the optical radial-velocity jitter available in the literature, especially for planet host stars. We use this to derive for all stars an activity merit function (higher for quieter stars) with the goal of identifying the most favorable stars where the radial-velocity jitter is low enough for planet searches. We find that the main contributors to the RV jitter are the large-scale magnetic field and the chromospheric non-thermal emission. In addition, three stars (GJ 1289, GJ 793, and GJ 251) have been followed along their rotation using the spectropolarimetric mode, and we derive their magnetic topology. These very slow rotators are good representatives of future SPIRou targets. They are compared to other stars where the magnetic topology is also known. The poloidal component of the magnetic field is predominent in all three stars.
