摘要:

X射线辐射是恒星磁活动的重要示踪物。我们通过收集大样本具有X射线辐射的半接(食双星型)双星(EBXs),系统分析了X射线光度$\log L_{\rm X}$、热光度$\log L_{\rm bol}$、X射线活动水平$\log(L_{\textrm{X}}$/$L_{\textrm{bol}})$与双星参数的相关性,这些参数包括轨道周期$P$、罗斯比数$R_{\rm O}$、有效温度$T_{\rm eff}$、金属丰度[Fe/H]、表面重力$\log g$以及恒星质量$M$和半径$R$。$\log L_{\rm X}$和$\log L_{\rm bol}$均随$\log P$变化的事实表明,X射线辐射起源于对流区,而$\log L_{\rm X}$与对流区面积成正比。我们发现,含主序子星的EBXs在$\log T_{\rm eff}$-$\log L_{\textrm{X}}$关系和$M$-$\log L_{\textrm{X}}$关系中均呈现先上升后下降的趋势,这与含亚巨星和巨星子星的EBXs所表现出的单调下降趋势不同。磁活动水平与$\log T_{\rm eff}$及恒星质量呈负相关。基于磁发电机模型,表面对流区的大小和厚度变化可以解释这些观测到的关系。含主序子星的EBXs具有与鬼星团、毕星团等星团中的双星相似的$R_{\rm O}$-$\log(L_{\textrm{X}}/L_{\textrm{bol}})$关系。我们对比了EBXs与具有X射线辐射的相接双星的X射线辐射特性,发现EBXs的$\log L_{\rm X}$以及$\log(L_{\textrm{X}}$/$L_{\textrm{bol}})$取值范围更宽。

英文摘要:

X-ray emission is an important tracer of stellar magnetic activity. We carried out a systematic correlation analysis for the X-ray luminosity $\log L_{\rm X}$, bolometric luminosity $\log L_{\rm bol}$, and X-ray activity level $\log(L_{\textrm{X}}$/$L_{\textrm{bol}})$ versus the binary parameters including orbital period $P$, Rossby number $R_{\rm O}$, effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$, metallicity [Fe/H] and the surface gravity $\log g$, and the stellar mass $M$ \& radius $R$, by assembling a large sample of semi-detached (EB-type) binaries with X-ray emission (EBXs). The fact that both $\log L_{\rm X}$ and $\log L_{\rm bol}$ change in accordance with $\log P$ indicates that X-ray emission originates from the convection zone, while $\log L_{\rm X}$ is proportional to the convection zone area. We found that EBXs with main-sequence components exhibit an upward and then a downward trend in both the $\log T_{\rm eff}$-$\log L_{\textrm{X}}$ and $M$-$\log L_{\textrm{X}}$ relations, which is different from the monotonically decreasing trend shown by EBXs containing sub-giant and giant components. The magnetic activity level is negatively correlated with $\log T_{\rm eff}$ and stellar mass. Based on the magnetic dynamo model, the variations in the size and thickness of the surface convection zones can explain the observed relations. EBXs with main-sequence components have similar $R_{\rm O}$-$\log(L_{\textrm{X}}/L_{\textrm{bol}})$ relationship to that of the binaries in the clusters as Praesepe and Hyade. We compared the X-ray radiation properties of EBXs with those of the X-ray-emitting contact binaries and found that EBXs have broader value ranges for $\log L_{\rm X}$ and $\log(L_{\textrm{X}}$/$L_{\textrm{bol}})$.
