摘要:

讨论了年轻活跃星G1355的ROSAT和ASCA观测结果。在ROSAT观测期间,探测到一个强烈的耀斑,峰值通量比静止水平大一个数量级以上。光谱分析的数据使我们能够研究的温度和排放量的分布,以及日冕金属丰度,为静止阶段,并在ROSAT的情况下,也在耀斑的演变。全球日冕金属丰度$Z/Z_{\odot} \sim 0.1$来自ROSAT和ASCA的数据是远远低于太阳,大概也远远低于光球丰度预期这颗非常年轻的恒星。静止日冕的温度结构在不同的观测中大致相同,在$T_1 \sim 7$ MK有一个较冷的成分,在$T_2 \sim 20$ MK有一个较热的成分(只有ASCA对它敏感)。在耀斑期间,低温分量保持近似恒定,等于静止值,而高温分量是唯一变化的。我们用Reale等人(1997)的流体动力学衰变持续加热方法模拟了耀斑,并导出了一个$\sim 1.5$恒星半径数量级的环半长度,即比太阳上耀斑的尺寸大得多,但与为其他恒星耀斑推断的典型尺寸相当。我们已经比较了推导出的循环大小与估计一个更简单的(但物理上不一致)的方法,发现这一点,以及其他几个恒星耀斑,这两种方法给出了可比的循环大小。这一结果的可能原因和后果进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

We discuss ROSAT and ASCA observations of the young active star Gl355}. During the ROSAT observation a strong flare was detected with a peak flux more than an order of magnitude larger than the quiescent level. Spectral analysis of the data allows us to study the temperature and emission measure distribution, and the coronal metal abundance, for the quiescent phase and, in the case of ROSAT, also during the evolution of the flare. The global coronal metallicity $Z/Z_{\odot} \sim 0.1$ derived from both ROSAT and ASCA data is much lower than solar and presumably also much lower than the photospheric abundance expected for this very young star. The temperature structure of the quiescent corona was about the same during the various observations, with a cooler component at $T_1 \sim 7$ MK and a hotter component (to which only ASCA was sensitive) at $T_2 \sim 20$ MK. During the flare, the low temperature component remained approximately constant and equal to the quiescent value, while the high-temperature component was the only one that varied. We have modeled the flare with the hydrodynamic-decay sustained-heating approach of Reale at al. (1997) and we have derived a loop semi--length of the order of $\sim 1.5$ stellar radii, i.e. much larger than the dimensions of flares on the Sun, but comparable with the typical dimensions inferred for other stellar flares. We have compared the derived loop size with that estimated with a simpler (but physically inconsistent) approach, finding that for this, as well for several other stellar flares, the two methods give comparable loop sizes. Possible causes and consequences of this result are discussed.
