摘要:

质量为0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3的M矮星正受到越来越多的关注,因为这些完全对流的恒星提出了关于它们的磁活动和角动量历史的有趣的天体物理问题。它们也为研究类地行星的大气层提供了近期最容易获得的机会。由于它们本身的光度很低,因此确定这些M矮星的最近实例对于进展至关重要。我们给出了512颗质量为0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3的M矮星的全天空列表,三角距离在15 pc(视差>= 66.67 mas)以内,从中我们创建了413颗M矮星的光谱研究样本。我们提出了这些512 M矮星的质量函数,线性质量空间中随着恒星质量的减小而增加,但在对数质量空间中是平坦的。作为这个样本的一部分,我们提出了新的VRI测光的17个目标,测量作为长期工作的结果,在CTIO/SMARTS 0.9米望远镜的RECONS组。我们还注意到已知是多个系统成员的目标的细节,并在我们的样本中发现原始M矮星的初步多重性率为21 +/- 2%,当考虑已知的恒星和棕矮星同伴时,从它们的主恒星分离。我们进一步发现,在所有质量为0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3的M矮星中,有43 +/- 2%的矮星存在于主恒星质量在15 pc以内的多恒星系统中。

英文摘要:

M dwarfs with masses 0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3 are under increasing scrutiny because these fully convective stars pose interesting astrophysical questions regarding their magnetic activity and angular momentum history. They also afford the most accessible near-future opportunity to study the atmospheres of terrestrial planets. Because they are intrinsically low in luminosity, the identification of the nearest examples of these M dwarfs is essential for progress. We present the volume-complete, all-sky list of 512 M dwarfs with masses 0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3 and with trigonometric distances placing them within 15 pc (parallax >= 66.67 mas) from which we have created a sample of 413 M dwarfs for spectroscopic study. We present the mass function for these 512 M dwarfs, which increases with decreasing stellar mass in linear mass space, but is flat in logarithmic mass space. As part of this sample, we present new VRI photometry for 17 targets, measured as a result of the RECONS group's long-term work at the CTIO/SMARTS 0.9m telescope. We also note the details of targets that are known to be members of multiple systems and find a preliminary multiplicity rate of 21 +/- 2% for the primary M dwarfs in our sample, when considering known stellar and brown dwarf companions at all separations from their primaries. We further find that 43 +/- 2% of all M dwarfs with masses 0.1 <= M/M_sol <= 0.3 are found in multiple systems with primary stars of all masses within 15 pc.
