摘要:

理解观测到的冷恒星磁场拓扑结构的一个关键问题是小尺度和大尺度磁场之间的联系以及恒星参数对磁场拓扑结构的影响。我们研究了各种模拟的恒星连接的小尺度与可观察到的大尺度领域。高分辨率的三维模拟,我们使用耦合的磁通量传输模型与非潜在的日冕模型,使用磁摩擦技术。这些模拟的表面磁场被分解成球谐函数,这使我们能够分析磁场的拓扑结构在很宽的范围内的长度尺度和过滤的大规模磁场与观测直接比较。我们发现,大尺度场的自洽模拟适合所观察到的类太阳恒星,主要是由全球偶极场和大尺度的通量模式,如新兴的小尺度场的平均纬度位置和它的全球极性模式的属性。恒星参数磁通出现率、差异自转和纬向流影响大尺度磁场拓扑。增加的磁通出现率增加了所有场分量中的磁通量,并且增加的差动旋转通过减小极向场来增加环向场分数。球谐流影响了球谐模上的磁能分布。

英文摘要:

A key question in understanding the observed magnetic field topologies of cool stars is the link between the small- and the large-scale magnetic field and the influence of the stellar parameters on the magnetic field topology. We examine various simulated stars to connect the small-scale with the observable large-scale field. The highly resolved 3D simulations we used couple a flux transport model with a non-potential coronal model using a magnetofrictional technique. The surface magnetic field of these simulations is decomposed into spherical harmonics which enables us to analyse the magnetic field topologies on a wide range of length scales and to filter the large-scale magnetic field for a direct comparison with the observations. We show that the large-scale field of the self-consistent simulations fits the observed solar-like stars and is mainly set up by the global dipolar field and the large-scale properties of the flux pattern, e.g. the averaged latitudinal position of the emerging small-scale field and its global polarity pattern. The stellar parameters flux emergence rate, differential rotation and meridional flow affect the large-scale magnetic field topology. An increased flux emergence rate increases the magnetic flux in all field components and an increased differential rotation increases the toroidal field fraction by decreasing the poloidal field. The meridional flow affects the distribution of the magnetic energy across the spherical harmonic modes.
