为什么观测到的比太阳更年老的类太阳恒星的自转演化可能并不需要发电机模式转变

Why the observed spin evolution of older-than-solar like stars might not require a dynamo mode change

AI总结:

本文提出将每颗恒星作为独立固定点的含时自转演化模型,生成解曲线包络而非单一拟合线,证明观测到的老年类太阳恒星自转数据无需磁场模式转变即可解释。

摘要:

主序星的自转演化长期以来对于恒星基本演化、恒星年龄测定、恒星活动及其对伴星行星的影响具有重要意义。对年龄大于太阳的晚型主序星的观测结果被解释为:为了解释这些数据,可能需要磁场从偶极主导型转变为更高阶多极子更显著的类型。导致这一推断的自转减慢模型本质上是以太阳为基准进行调参的。本文采用一种不同的方法,将每颗恒星视为独立的固定点,而不仅仅以太阳为参照。我们使用一个含时理论模型来求解低质量主序星的自转演化,该模型包含Parker型星风以及与自转耦合的随时间演化的磁场。由于星风对恒星质量与半径之比以及日冕底部温度呈指数敏感性,将每颗观测恒星作为独立的固定点更为合适,进而产生一组解曲线,形成一个解包络而非简单的一条线。与单一拟合线不同,这一解曲线包络与观测数据一致,并且并不明确要求磁场发生模态转变来解释这些数据。

英文摘要:

The spin evolution of main sequence stars has long been of interest for basic stellar evolution, stellar aging, stellar activity, and consequent influence on companion planets. Observations of older than solar late-type main-sequence stars have been interpreted to imply that a change from a dipole-dominated magnetic field to one with more prominent higher multipoles might be necessary to account for the data. The spin-down models that lead to this inference are essentially tuned to the sun. Here we take a different approach which considers individual stars as fixed points rather than just the Sun. We use a time-dependent theoretical model to solve for the spin evolution of low-mass main-sequence stars that includes a Parker-type wind and a time-evolving magnetic field coupled to the spin. Because the wind is exponentially sensitive to the stellar mass over radius and the coronal base temperature, the use of each observed star as a separate fixed point is more appropriate and, in turn, produces a set of solution curves that produces a solution envelope rather than a simple line. This envelope of solution curves, unlike a single line fit, is consistent with the data and does not unambiguously require a modal transition in the magnetic field to explain it.
