In the Sun, the properties of acoustic modes are sensitive to changes in the magnetic activity. In particular, mode frequencies are observed to increase with increasing activity level. Thanks to CoRoT and Kepler, such variations have been found in other solar-type stars and encode information on the activity-related changes in their interiors. Thus, the unprecedented long-term Kepler photometric observations provide a unique opportunity to study stellar activity through asteroseismology. The goal of this work is to investigate the dependencies of the observed mode frequency variations on the stellar parameters and whether those are consistent with an activity-related origin. We select the solar-type oscillators with highest signal-to-noise ratio, in total 75 targets. Using the temporal frequency variations determined in Santos et al. (2018), we study the relation between those variations and the fundamental stellar properties. We also compare the observed frequency shifts with chromospheric and photometric activity indexes, which are only available for a subset of the sample. We find that frequency shifts increase with increasing chromospheric activity, which is consistent with an activity-related origin of the observed frequency shifts. Frequency shifts are also found to increase with effective temperature, which is in agreement with the theoretical predictions for the activity-related frequency shifts by Metcalfe et al. (2007). Frequency shifts are largest for fast rotating and young stars, which is consistent with those being more active than slower rotators and older stars. Finally, we find evidence for frequency shifts increasing with stellar metallicity.

色球活动监测范围广泛的冷星可以提供有价值的信息,恒星的磁活动及其对基本恒星参数的依赖,如有效的温度和rotation.We汇编的档案HARPS光谱和多个其他调查,包括威尔逊山的数据,最近已被国家统计局公布的组合4454冷星的色球活动目录。我们探讨了不同有效温度的冷星色球活动沿主序星的变化。此外,我们还进行了一个活动周期搜索,并调查其与旋转的关系。从存档的高分辨率HARPS光谱中测量了304颗主序星的色球活动指数S指数。此外,测量和存档的S指数被转换成色球通量比log R 'HK。使用广义Lomb-Scargle周期图确定活动周期,以研究旋转活动周期平面上的活动和非活动分支。全球样本显示,色球活动的双峰性,即沃恩-普雷斯顿间隙,并不突出,有相当大比例的恒星处于中等活动水平,log R 'HK =-4.75左右。独立地,循环周期搜索表明恒星可以位于活动和非活动分支之间的中间区域,这意味着活动分支并不像以前认为的那样明显。沃恩-普雷斯顿间隙的减弱表明,冷恒星从较高的活动水平开始旋转,并在较低的活动水平上稳定下来,而不会在中等活动水平上突然中断。有些周期接近太阳活动支和非活动支之间的值,这表明太阳发电机很可能是恒星发电机的一种常见情况。

Evidence of the connection with rotation and stellar activity
我们以前试图确定为什么Li I 6708线强度的类太阳恒星的差异如此显着,尽管表面相似的恒星参数。本文对118个太阳类似物进行了综合分析,发现Li丰度A_Li与谱线展宽宽度(v_r+m,主要由转动效应贡献)之间存在着密切的联系,从而得出恒星转动可能是控制表面Li含量的主要因素的结论。为了更详细地检验我们的说法,我们研究了恒星活动的程度是否与Li丰度具有类似的相关性,这是因为人们普遍认为旋转和活动之间存在密切联系。我们测量了所有样本星在强Ca II 8542线中心的剩余通量,r_0(8542),已知是一个有用的恒星活动指数,使用新获得的光谱在这个近红外区域。通过从我们已经建立的v_r+m中减去宏观湍流的贡献来估计投影旋转速度(v_esin i)。A_Li与(vs.)r_0(8542)图以及r_0(8542)与v_esin i和A_Li与v_esin i图中的结果,正如预期的那样。随着旋转相关恒星活动的确认,这清楚地表明,这些太阳类似物的表面Li丰度随着旋转速率的降低而逐渐降低。鉴于这一观测证据,我们得出结论,太阳型恒星的表面锂的耗尽,可能是由有效的信封混合,更有效地作为恒星自转减速。这可能是有希望的归属低锂倾向的行星主机G矮星,它们的不同性质的恒星角动量。

Solar CME Plasma Diagnostics Expressed as Potential Stellar CME Signatures
太阳日冕物质抛射(CME)与太阳耀斑有很强的联系,但还没有完全了解。太阳磁场活动的这种特征也可能发生在其他恒星上,但由于缺乏成功探测到的恒星CME,因此很难进行统计研究,以显示CME和耀斑之间的类似联系。由于潜在的强关联,对恒星CME的搜索通常始于对磁活动恒星上的超级耀斑的成功搜索。无论耀斑的存在,我们强调实用程序的CME特定的光谱特征时,试图找到并确认恒星CME候选人搜索。我们使用太阳CME的例子,为什么大量的紫外线发射线,同时检测时,可以大大提高光谱发现恒星CME候选人的可信度。我们预测CME相关的发射线如果来自遥远的恒星,会有多亮。我们特别推荐使用三条发射谱线(C IV 1550埃,O VI 1032埃和C III 977埃),因为它们可能具有明亮的信号和方便的诊断能力,可以用来确认观测信号是否真的来自恒星CME。
The Mg I b triplet and the 4571 Å line as diagnostics of stellar chromospheric activity
上下文在文献中,Mg I 4571三线态和b三线态被认为是太阳和恒星活动的诊断,因为它们是在低色球层形成的。目的。研究这四条谱线作为类太阳恒星色球活动诊断的潜力,通过改变大气模型和恒星参数,研究这些谱线的强度与当地大气变化的关系。方法.从Next-Gen光球模型出发,建立了包括光球、色球和过渡区的大气模型网格,求解了辐射转移,得到了合成轮廓,并与主序星、类太阳恒星(有效温度在4800-6400 K之间)、太阳重力和太阳金属丰度的观测光谱进行了比较。结果我们发现,Mg I 4571的线是显着敏感的局部变化,在大气模式周围的最低温度。相反,b三重态的谱线对当地大气结构的变化没有明显的响应。
