摘要:

M矮星的活动在不同的时间尺度上表现出光谱的变化,从几秒到几小时不等。这种变化的时间尺度可能与M矮星的内部动力学有关,如磁活动,高能耀斑事件,它们的旋转周期等。突出发射线(特别是Hα)强度的时间变化主要被视为这种动力学行为的代理。在这项研究中,我们进行了光谱监测的83 M矮星(M0-M6.5)的Hα和H \b{eta}排放的变化在短时间尺度上的研究。在PRL 1.2m Mt上用MFOSC-P仪器获得了3-5分钟、0.7-2.3小时的低分辨率(分辨率约5.7埃)光谱时间序列。Abu望远镜,覆盖H \b{eta}和Hα波长。再加上文献中可用的数据以及TESS和Kepler/K2档案中的档案光度数据,针对任何合理的系统学,就其光谱类型和旋转周期探索了各种变异性参数。虽然我们的样本中约有64%显示出统计上的显著变化,但在光谱类型和旋转周期上并不均匀。Hα活性强度(LHα/Lbol)也被推导出来,并探讨了这种分布。

英文摘要:

Activities in M dwarfs show spectroscopic variability over various time scales ranging from a few seconds to several hours. The time scales of such variability can be related to internal dynamics of M dwarfs like magnetic activity, energetic flaring events, their rotation periods, etc. The time variability in the strengths of prominent emission lines (particularly Hα ) is mostly taken as a proxy of such dynamic behavior. In this study, we have performed the spectroscopic monitoring of 83 M dwarfs (M0-M6.5) to study the variations in Hα and H\b{eta} emissions on short-time scales. Low-resolution (resolution around 5.7 angstroms) spectral time series of 3-5 minutes cadence over 0.7-2.3 hours were obtained with MFOSC-P instrument on PRL 1.2m Mt. Abu telescope, covering H\b{eta} and Hα wavelengths. Coupled with the data available in the literature and archival photometric data from TESS and Kepler/K2 archives, various variability parameters are explored for any plausible systematics with respect to their spectral types, and rotation periods. Though about 64% of our sample shows statistically significant variability, it is not uniform across the spectral type and rotation period. Hα activity strength (LHα/Lbol) is also derived and explored for such distributions.
