摘要:

在太阳中,声学模式的频率被观察到随磁活动水平的相位而变化。预计这些频率变化在太阳型恒星中很常见,并包含有关其内部发生的活动相关变化的信息。开普勒测光时间序列的空前持续时间提供了一个独特的机会,通过星震学探测和表征恒星磁周期。在这项工作中,我们分析了87个太阳型恒星的样本,测量它们的时间频率变化超过90天的长度。对于每个部分,通过贝叶斯峰值装袋工具获得各个频率。然后计算平均频移并与以下各项进行比较:1)从互相关方法获得的频移; 2)模式高度的变化; 3)光度活性代理;以及4)颗粒化的特征时间尺度。对于每个星和90-d子系列,我们提供平均频率偏移,模式高度,和特征的时间尺度的颗粒。有趣的是,超过60%的恒星显示出频率变化的(准)周期性变化的证据。在大多数情况下,这些变化伴随着其他活动代理的变化。大约20%的恒星显示出模式频率和高度的变化近似在相位上,这与太阳的观测结果相反。

英文摘要:

In the Sun, the frequencies of the acoustic modes are observed to vary in phase with the magnetic activity level. These frequency variations are expected to be common in solar-type stars and contain information about the activity-related changes that take place in their interiors. The unprecedented duration of Kepler photometric time-series provides a unique opportunity to detect and characterize stellar magnetic cycles through asteroseismology. In this work, we analyze a sample of 87 solar-type stars, measuring their temporal frequency shifts over segments of length 90 days. For each segment, the individual frequencies are obtained through a Bayesian peak-bagging tool. The mean frequency shifts are then computed and compared with: 1) those obtained from a cross-correlation method; 2) the variation in the mode heights; 3) a photometric activity proxy; and 4) the characteristic timescale of the granulation. For each star and 90-d sub-series, we provide mean frequency shifts, mode heights, and characteristic timescales of the granulation. Interestingly, more than 60% of the stars show evidence for (quasi-)periodic variations in the frequency shifts. In the majority of the cases, these variations are accompanied by variations in other activity proxies. About 20% of the stars show mode frequencies and heights varying approximately in phase, in opposition to what is observed for the Sun.
