摘要:

恒星风的磁约束约束导致磁层的形成,磁层可以通过共转等离子体的旋转支撑被雕刻成离心磁层(CM)。磁性早期B型恒星的CM产生H $α$中可检测的发射所需的条件-这些结构的主要诊断-限制很差。一个关键的原因是,还没有对这个种群的磁性和旋转演化进行详细的研究。使用新确定的旋转周期,现代磁测量,并通过光谱建模确定的大气参数,我们已经推导出的基本参数,偶极斜转子模型,和磁层参数为56早期B型星。与磁性A型和O型恒星的比较表明,表面磁场强度的范围基本上是恒定的恒星质量,但无符号的表面磁通量增加质量。表面磁偶极子强度和总磁通量都随恒星年龄的增加而减小,而磁通量衰减的速率随恒星质量的增加而明显增加。我们发现了多极磁场可能比偶极子衰减得更快的初步证据。自转周期随着恒星年龄的增加而增加,正如磁制动场景所预期的那样。毫无例外,所有在CM中发射H $α$的恒星都是1)快速旋转的,2)强磁性的,3)年轻的,后者的性质与观测结果一致,即磁场和旋转都随着时间的推移而减少。

英文摘要:

Magnetic confinement of stellar winds leads to the formation of magnetospheres, which can be sculpted into Centrifugal Magnetospheres (CMs) by rotational support of the corotating plasma. The conditions required for the CMs of magnetic early B-type stars to yield detectable emission in H$α$ -- the principal diagnostic of these structures -- are poorly constrained. A key reason is that no detailed study of the magnetic and rotational evolution of this population has yet been performed. Using newly determined rotational periods, modern magnetic measurements, and atmospheric parameters determined via spectroscopic modelling, we have derived fundamental parameters, dipolar oblique rotator models, and magnetospheric parameters for 56 early B-type stars. Comparison to magnetic A- and O-type stars shows that the range of surface magnetic field strength is essentially constant with stellar mass, but that the unsigned surface magnetic flux increases with mass. Both the surface magnetic dipole strength and the total magnetic flux decrease with stellar age, with the rate of flux decay apparently increasing with stellar mass. We find tentative evidence that multipolar magnetic fields may decay more rapidly than dipoles. Rotational periods increase with stellar age, as expected for a magnetic braking scenario. Without exception, all stars with H$α$ emission originating in a CM are 1) rapid rotators, 2) strongly magnetic, and 3) young, with the latter property consistent with the observation that magnetic fields and rotation both decrease over time.
