摘要:

以前的研究相关的表面温度图,获得与多普勒成像(DI)技术,LQ Hya与长期测光。我们比较表面磁场地图,获得与塞曼多普勒成像(ZDI)技术,与同期测光,目的是量化的恒星的磁周期特性。我们倒置斯托克斯IV分光偏振到磁场和表面亮度地图使用层析反演代码,模型高信噪比平均线的最小二乘反卷积(LSD)技术产生的配置文件。的磁场和表面亮度地图揭示了类似的模式,以前的DI和ZDI的研究:非轴对称的极性磁场结构,在中纬度地区的领域无效,在赤道地区的复杂结构。极区结构与强径向场有微弱但明显的联系,赤道区结构与方位场有明显的联系。我们发现2016年至2017年之间径向场的极性反转与长期测光中观察到的活动最小值一致。反转的场强不能很容易地与所观察到的斑点,但我们发现,它们是部分连接检索字段的复杂性。与快速旋转的年轻太阳的全球磁对流模型相比,这种场的拓扑结构和极向场分量的优势可以用湍流发电机来解释,在这种发电机中,差异旋转并不起主要作用(所谓的α ^2欧米茄发电机或α ^2发电机),轴对称和非轴对称模式同时被激发。复杂的赤道磁场结构可能来自这些模拟中经常看到的扭曲(螺旋)环,而极特征将连接到具有平滑空间结构的大部分极向非轴对称分量。

英文摘要:

Previous studies have related surface temperature maps, obtained with the Doppler imaging (DI) technique, of LQ Hya with long-term photometry. We compare surface magnetic field maps, obtained with the Zeeman Doppler imaging (ZDI) technique, with contemporaneous photometry, with the aim of quantifying the star's magnetic cycle characteristics. We inverted Stokes IV spectropolarimetry into magnetic field and surface brightness maps using a tomographic inversion code that models high signal-to-noise ratio mean line profiles produced by the least squares deconvolution (LSD) technique. The magnetic field and surface brightness maps reveal similar patterns to previous DI and ZDI studies: non-axisymmetric polar magnetic field structure, void of fields at mid-latitudes, and a complex structure in the equatorial regions. There is a weak but clear tendency of the polar structures to be linked with strong radial field and the equatorial ones with the azimuthal. We find a polarity reversal in the radial field between 2016 and 2017 coincident with an activity minimum seen in the long-term photometry. The inverted field strengths cannot easily be related with the observed spottedness, but we find that they are partially connected with the retrieved field complexity. Comparing to global magnetoconvection models for rapidly rotating young Suns, this field topology and dominance of the poloidal field component could be explained by a turbulent dynamo, where differential rotation does not play a major role (so called alpha^2 Omega or alpha^2 dynamos), and axi- and non-axisymmetric modes are excited simultaneously. The complex equatorial magnetic field structure could arise from the twisted (helical) wreaths often seen in these simulations, while the polar feature would be connected to the mostly poloidal non-axisymmetric component having a smooth spatial structure.
