AI总结:

该研究首次对能量超过10^35 erg的恒星耀斑进行同时X射线和Hα观测,发现X射线与Hα发射能量在10^29–10^38 erg范围内呈正比关系,且衰减时标一致,表明极大型恒星耀斑与太阳耀斑遵循相同标度关系。

摘要:

我们报告了对两个RS CVn型双星系统中三个大型恒星耀斑同时进行软X射线(SXR)和H$\alpha$发射线观测的结果。这些耀斑在X射线和H$\alpha$发射中释放的能量分别为$10^{36}$--$10^{38}$ erg和$10^{35}$--$10^{37}$ erg。这使得该组观测成为首次成功对能量超过$10^{35}$ erg的恒星耀斑进行同时X射线/H$\alpha$观测;尽管H$\alpha$观测的覆盖范围有限,仅覆盖了耀斑衰减阶段$e$折时间的约10%,但SXR观测的覆盖是完整的。结合所获得的物理参数以及文献中太阳和恒星耀斑的参数,我们在$10^{29}$--$10^{38}$ erg的耀斑能量范围内得到了X射线与H$\alpha$发射能量之间良好的正比关系。H$\alpha$线与热辐射X射线发射之比约为0.1,其中后者是通过根据最佳拟合薄热模型将观测到的SXR发射转换到0.1--100 keV能段来估算的。我们还发现,耀斑衰减阶段SXR和H$\alpha$光变曲线的$e$折时间在$1$--$10^4$~s的时间范围内是一致的。即使是能量比最剧烈的太阳耀斑大六个数量级的极大型恒星耀斑,也遵循与太阳耀斑和能量低得多的恒星耀斑相同的标度关系。这一事实表明,它们的物理参数可以基于已知的太阳和恒星耀斑物理来估算。

英文摘要:

We report on the results of our simultaneous observations of three large stellar flares with soft X-rays (SXRs) and an H$\mathrmα$ emission line from two binary systems of RS CVn type. The energies released in the X-ray and H$\mathrmα$ emissions during the flares were $10^{36}$--$10^{38}$ and $10^{35}$--$10^{37}$ erg, respectively. It renders the set of the observations as the first successful simultaneous X-ray/H$\mathrmα$ observations of the stellar flares with energies above $10^{35}$ erg; although the coverage of the H$\mathrmα$ observations of the stellar flares with energies above $10^{35}$ erg; although the coverage of the H$\mathrmα$ observations was limited, with $\sim$10\% of the $e$-folding time in the decay phase of the flares, that of the SXR ones was complete. Combining the obtained physical parameters and those in literature for solar and stellar flares, we obtained a good proportional relation between the emitted energies of X-ray and H$\mathrmα$ emissions for a flare energy range of $10^{29}$--$10^{38}$ erg. The ratio of the H$\mathrmα$-line to bolometric X-ray emissions was $\sim$0.1, where the latter was estimated by converting the observed SXR emission to that in the 0.1--100 keV band according to the best-fitting thin thermal model. We also found that the $e$-folding times of the SXR and H$\mathrmα$ light curves in the decaying phase of a flare are in agreement for a time range of $1$--$10^4$~s. Even very large stellar flares with energies of six orders of magnitude larger than the most energetic solar flares follow the same scaling relationships with solar and much less energetic stellar flares. This fact suggests that their physical parameters can be estimated on the basis of the known physics of solar and stellar flares.
