摘要:

我们提出了一个分析的光谱偏振观测的低质量弱线金牛座T星TWA 25和TWA 7。利用塞曼多普勒成像技术重建了这两颗恒星的大尺度表面磁场。我们的表面地图显示,主要是环形和非轴对称领域的两颗恒星。这些地图加强了已经恢复的大范围表面磁场,特别是在前主序星中,这些恒星已经停止从其圆盘的中心区域(现在已经耗尽)吸积。我们重建了两颗恒星的大尺度表面亮度分布,并使用这些重建来过滤掉活动引起的径向速度抖动,将径向速度变化的RMS从495 m/s降低到32 m/s(TWA 25),从127 m/s降低到36 m/s(TWA 7),排除了两颗恒星存在近距离巨行星的可能性。TWA 7径向速度提供了一个例子,其中活动引起的径向速度变化模拟与光谱活动指数不相关的开普勒信号。这表明了纵向磁场测量在识别活动引起的径向速度变化方面的有用性。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of spectropolarimetric observations of the low-mass weak-line T Tauri stars TWA 25 and TWA 7. The large-scale surface magnetic fields have been reconstructed for both stars using the technique of Zeeman Doppler imaging. Our surface maps reveal predominantly toroidal and non-axisymmetric fields for both stars. These maps reinforce the wide range of surface magnetic fields that have been recovered, particularly in pre-main sequence stars that have stopped accreting from the (now depleted) central regions of their discs. We reconstruct the large scale surface brightness distributions for both stars, and use these reconstructions to filter out the activity-induced radial velocity jitter, reducing the RMS of the radial velocity variations from 495 m/s to 32 m/s for TWA 25, and from 127 m/s to 36 m/s for TWA 7, ruling out the presence of close-in giant planets for both stars. The TWA 7 radial velocities provide an example of a case where the activity-induced radial velocity variations mimic a Keplerian signal that is uncorrelated with the spectral activity indices. This shows the usefulness of longitudinal magnetic field measurements in identifying activity-induced radial velocity variations.
