SuperWASP和ASAS-SN场星样本的转动-活动关系研究

Investigation of the rotation-activity relation for a sample of SuperWASP and ASAS-SN field stars

Heidi B. Thiemann, Andrew J. Norton, Ulrich C. Kolb

摘要:

晚型主序星的X射线活动与Rossby数$Ro$(自转周期与对流周转时间的比值)之间存在一定的关系。这表现为饱和状态(其中X射线活性是恒定的)和不饱和状态(其中X射线活性与Rossby数反相关)。然而,这种关系打破了最快的旋转。我们将SuperWASP视觉分类的光度光变曲线和ASAS-SN自动分类的光度光变曲线与XMM-牛顿X射线观测进行交叉关联,以识别3,178颗在其光变曲线和相应的X射线观测中显示光度定义的旋转调制的恒星。用幂律拟合了900颗主序星的自转-活动关系。我们发现,自动分类旋转调制光变曲线是不可靠的视觉分类光变曲线这项工作。我们发现了一个幂律指数在不饱和制度的G-到M-型恒星的$β=-1.84\pm0.18$的SuperWASP目录,符合规范值的$β=-2$。我们发现了在最快旋转的K型恒星中存在过饱和的证据,其幂律指数为$β_{s}=1.42\pm0.26$。

英文摘要:

It is well established that late-type main-sequence stars display a relationship between X-ray activity and the Rossby number, $Ro$, the ratio of rotation period to the convective turnover time. This manifests itself as a saturated regime (where X-ray activity is constant) and an unsaturated regime (where X-ray activity anti-correlates with the Rossby number). However, this relationship breaks down for the fastest rotators. We cross-correlated SuperWASP visually classified photometric light curves and ASAS-SN automatically classified photometric light curves with XMM-Newton X-ray observations to identify 3,178 stars displaying a photometrically defined rotational modulation in their light curve and corresponding X-ray observations. We fitted a power-law to characterise the rotation-activity relation of 900 main-sequence stars. We identified that automatically classified rotationally modulated light curves are not as reliable as visually classified light curves for this work. We found a power-law index in the unsaturated regime of G- to M-type stars of $β=-1.84\pm0.18$ for the SuperWASP catalogue, in line with the canonical value of $β=-2$. We find evidence of supersaturation in the fastest rotating K-type stars, with a power-law index of $β_{s}=1.42\pm0.26$.
