盖亚数据发布2揭示的较低主序列中的一个缺口

A Gap in the Lower Main Sequence Revealed by Gaia Data Release 2

Wei-Chun Jao, Todd J. Henry, Douglas R. Gies, Nigel C. Hambly

摘要:

我们提出了一个差距附近的$M_{G}\approx$ 10在主序列的赫兹-罗素图(HRD)的基础上,在盖亚数据发布2(DR 2)的测量发现。使用HRD的观测形式,$M_{G}$代表光度,$G_{BP}-G_{RP}$代表温度,间隙呈现出一个对角线特征,在更红的颜色下向更低的光度倾斜。在从DR 2中提取的不同距离的样品中可以看到该间隙,并且该间隙不是{ \it Gaia}光度测定所特有的-使用近红外光度测定时也会出现该间隙($J-K_{s}$与$M_{K_{s}}$)。这个间隙非常窄($\sim$ 0.05等),接近M矮星从部分对流过渡到完全对流的光度-温度区域,即,近光谱型M3.0V。这个间隙在H-R图中提供了一个新的特征,暗示了一个潜在的天体物理原因,我们认为它与M矮星中完全对流的开始有关。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of a gap near $M_{G}\approx$10 in the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (HRD) based on measurements presented in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2). Using an observational form of the HRD with $M_{G}$ representing luminosity and $G_{BP}-G_{RP}$ representing temperature, the gap presents a diagonal feature that dips toward lower luminosities at redder colors. The gap is seen in samples extracted from DR2 with various distances, and is not unique to the {\it Gaia} photometry --- it also appears when using near-IR photometry ($J-K_{s}$ vs $M_{K_{s}}$). The gap is very narrow ($\sim$0.05 mag) and is near the luminosity-temperature regime where M dwarf stars transition from partially to fully convective, i.e., near spectral type M3.0V. This gap provides a new feature in the H-R Diagram that hints at an underlying astrophysical cause and we propose that it is linked to the onset of full convection in M dwarfs.
