AI总结:

通过两种方法分析开普勒-411的暗斑分布和自转特性,发现其自转一致于刚体自转,未发现暗斑自转差异,但检测到行星c遮蔽暗斑的三次证据。

摘要:

恒星暗斑及其表面运动有助于研究恒星磁活动机制。对开普勒-411的开普勒光度数据进行分析,利用两种独立互补的方法确定恒星表面暗斑的分布和性质:建模恒星表面暗斑旋转的光度效应和通过凌星行星映射暗斑。通过构建考虑几何、差分自转和暗斑演化的暗斑模型,我们建模了导致观测亮度变化的恒星表面暗斑。我们还搜索高采样光度数据中暗斑遮蔽的证据。我们的暗斑模型能很好地再现观测光度变化,并获得恒星表面暗斑分布和运动的信息。我们未发现差分自转的证据——自转曲线与刚体自转一致,周期为10.52±0.34天。我们检测到三次由行星c遮蔽的暗斑。这些暗斑的位置与我们通过光曲线旋转调制建模所识别的较大暗斑结构位置吻合良好。

英文摘要:

Starspots and their movements on stellar surfaces enable investigating the mechanisms of stellar magnetic activity. Information on the spot distribution and differential rotation provide important constraints for the behaviour of stellar magnetic dynamos. We analyse the Kepler photometry of Kepler-411, a known exoplanet host, to determine the distribution and properties of star spots on the stellar surface with two independent and complementary methods: modelling the photometric effect of rotation of spots on the stellar surface and mapping of spots by transiting planets. By constructing a spot model accounting for geometry, differential rotation and spot evolution, we model the spots of the stellar surface giving rise to the observed brightness variations. We also search for evidence for occultations of starspots in high-cadence photometry. Our spot models reproduce the observed photometric variations well and we are able to obtain information on the distribution and movement of spots on the stellar surface. We do not obtain evidence for differential rotation -- the rotational profile is consistent with rigid-body rotation with a period of 10.52$\pm$0.34 days. We detect three occultations of spots by planet c. The positions of these spots coincide well with the positions of larger spot structures identified by our modelling of the rotational modulation of the light curve.
