M矮星的磁场

Magnetic fields of M dwarfs

Oleg Kochukhov

摘要:

磁场对M型矮星的内部和大气性质起着重要作用,并对这些低质量恒星的宜居带中的类地行星产生重要影响。确定恒星表面和整个扩展的恒星磁层中磁场的强度和拓扑结构,是推进恒星和行星科学的关键因素。在这里,现代的磁场测量方法适用于M-矮星的审查,强调直接诊断的基础上解释的塞曼效应签名在高分辨率的强度和偏振光谱。来自塞曼加宽分析的平均场强测量结果,以及通过应用层析成像映射方法,以spectropolarimetric观测推断的全球磁几何形状的信息进行了总结和严格的评价。在磁流体发电机和由磁场改变的恒星内部结构的理论模型的背景下,讨论了M矮星磁场的复杂性和多尺度性质的新认识。

英文摘要:

Magnetic fields play a fundamental role for interior and atmospheric properties of M dwarfs and greatly influence terrestrial planets orbiting in the habitable zones of these low-mass stars. Determination of the strength and topology of magnetic fields, both on stellar surfaces and throughout the extended stellar magnetospheres, is a key ingredient for advancing stellar and planetary science. Here modern methods of magnetic field measurements applied to M-dwarf stars are reviewed, with an emphasis on direct diagnostics based on interpretation of the Zeeman effect signatures in high-resolution intensity and polarisation spectra. Results of the mean field strength measurements derived from Zeeman broadening analyses as well as information on the global magnetic geometries inferred by applying tomographic mapping methods to spectropolarimetric observations are summarised and critically evaluated. The emerging understanding of the complex, multi-scale nature of M-dwarf magnetic fields is discussed in the context of theoretical models of hydromagnetic dynamos and stellar interior structure altered by magnetic fields.
