AI总结:

本文利用铁线磁致增强和 Doppler 成像重建 LQ Hya 的温度与磁场强度图,发现小尺度磁场随纬度增强,但与黑子及全球磁场结构无明显相关。

摘要:

众所周知,小尺度磁性在活动晚型恒星的表面磁场拓扑中占主导地位。然而,关于这一关键磁场分量的空间分布,目前可用的信息很少。在这里,我们利用了最近开发的磁场诊断程序,该程序依赖于光学波段中铁原子谱线的磁致增强。我们将这一方法从测量单一平均磁场强度值,扩展到同时进行温度和磁场强度二维图的 Doppler 成像重建。我们将这种新颖的表面成像方法应用于年轻的类太阳活动恒星 LQ Hya 的两个光谱数据集。对于两个历元,我们发现磁场强度分布相当均匀,除了存在一个随纬度变化的趋势:磁场强度从低纬度的 1.5–2.0 kG 增加到靠近自转极区的 3.0–3.5 kG。这种小尺度磁场的分布并未显示出与同一历元重建的温度黑子位置或全球磁场结构存在明显相关性。

英文摘要:

It is well known that small-scale magnetism dominates the surface magnetic field topologies of active late-type stars. However, little information is available on the spatial distribution of this key magnetic field component. Here, we take advantage of the recently developed magnetic field diagnostic procedure relying on the magnetic intensification of iron atomic lines in the optical. We extend this methodology from measuring a single average field strength value to simultaneous Doppler imaging reconstruction of the two-dimensional maps of temperature and magnetic field strength. We applied this novel surface mapping approach to two spectroscopic data sets of the young active Sun-like star LQ Hya. For both epochs, we found a fairly uniform field strength distribution, apart from a latitudinal trend of the field strength increasing from 1.5-2.0 kG at low latitudes to 3.0-3.5 kG, close to the rotational poles. This distribution of the small-scale field does not display a clear correlation with the locations of temperature spots or the global magnetic field structure reconstructed for the same epochs.
