The first results are reported from a search for activity cycles in stars similar to the sun based on modelling their spotting with an algorithm developed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. Of the more than thirty program stars, 10 manifested a cyclical variation in their central latitudes and total starspot area. The observed cycles have durations of 4–15 years, i.e., analogous to the 11 year Schwabe sunspot cycle. Most of the stars have a rough analog of the solar butterfly pattern, with a reduction in the average latitude of the spots as their area increases. A flip-flop effect during the epoch of the maximum average latitude is noted in a number of these objects (e.g., the analog LQ Hya of the young sun or the RS CVn-type variable V711 Tau), as well as a reduction in the photometric rotation period of a star as the spots drift toward the equator, an analog of the differential rotation effect in the sun. Unlike in the sun, the observed spot formation cycles do not correlate uniquely with other indicators of activity— chromospheric emission in the CaII HK lines (Be Cet, EK Dra, Dx Leo), H line emission (LQ Hya, VY Ari, EV Lac), or cyclical flare activity (EV Lac). In V833 Tau, BY Dra, EK Dra, and VY Ari short Schwabe cycles coexist with long cycles that are analogous to the Gleissberg solar cycle, in which the spotted area can approach half the entire area of the star.Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 48, No. 1, pp. 29–43 (February 2005).  相似文献

Quasi-simultaneous photoelectric and spectroscopic observations have been made of the active spotted star VY Ari, showing an increase in the equivalent width of pure emission in the H line with a decrease in the star's brightness. Such an increase indicates a relationship between active regions in the chromosphere and the cool photospheric spots. The photometric variability of VY Ari can be described entirely in terms of a zonal model. The spotted regions occupy up to 41% of the star's total surface, with the temperature difference between the quiet photosphere and a spot of 1300 K. The spots lie at middle and low latitudes.  相似文献

Quasi-simultaneous photoelectric and spectroscopic observations of the active spotted star V 775 Her have been made for the first time and showed an increase in the equivalent width of the pure emission in the Ha line with a decrease in the star’s brightness. Such an increase was due to an increase in electron density in the active regions and demonstrates a connection between active regions and cool spots. The system’s photometric variability is fully described within the framework of a zonal model. The spotted regions occupy up to 42% of the star’s total surface if the temperature difference between the quiet photosphere and a spot is about 900 K. The ratio of the masses of the components of V 775 Her is estimated for the first time. Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 339-351, July–September, 2000.  相似文献

Photometric data on FG Hya obtained in 2002 and 2004 are presented. Three data sets show the exchange between A-type, W-type and the variable O'Connell effects. The photometric mass ratio  ( q = 0.1115 ± 0.0003)  derived from B and V light curves is almost the same as the spectroscopic mass ratio  ( q sp= 0.112 ± 0.004)  . The new photometric solutions reveal that FG Hya is a deep overcontact binary system  ( f = 85.6 ± 1.8 per cent)  with a spotted massive component. A period investigation, based on all available photoelectric or CCD times of light minimum, shows that the O–C curve of FG Hya can be explained as a combination of a secular period decrease and a cyclic variation with a period of 36.4 yr and an amplitude of 0.0289 d. By comparing the variation of the depth of the primary minimum with the change of the cyclic period, it is discovered that both of them may vary with the same cycle length of 36.4 yr and in the same phase. The variation of the light curve, the spotted primary component and the connection between the cyclic period change and the depth of the primary minimum, all may suggest that the G0-type component displays solar-type magnetic activity with a 36.4-yr cycle length. The long-time period decrease is interpreted by mass transfer from the more massive component to the less massive one or/and angular momentum loss due to mass outflow from the outer Lagrangian point.  相似文献

A model for the angular momentum transfer within the convection zone of a rapidly rotating star is introduced and applied to the analysis of recent observations of temporal fluctuations of the differential rotation on the young late-type stars AB Doradus (AB Dor) and LQ Hydrae (LQ Hya). Under the hypothesis that the mean magnetic field produced by the stellar dynamo rules the angular momentum exchanges and that the angular velocity depends only on the distance s from the rotation axis and the time, the minimum azimuthal Maxwell stress  | BsB φ|  , averaged over the convection zone, is found to range from ∼0.04 to  ∼0.14 T2  . If the poloidal mean magnetic field   B s   is of the order of 0.01 T, as indicated by the Zeeman–Doppler imaging maps of those stars, then the azimuthal mean field   B φ  can reach an intensity of several teslas, which significantly exceeds equipartition with the turbulent kinetic energy. Such strong fields can account also for the orbital period modulation observed in cataclysmic variables and RS Canum Venaticorum systems with a main-sequence secondary component. Moreover, the model allows us to compute the kinetic energy dissipation rate during the maintenance of the differential rotation. Only in the case of the largest surface shear observed on LQ Hya may the dissipated power exceed the stellar luminosity, but the lack of a sufficient statistic on the occurrence of such episodes of large shear does not allow us to estimate their impact on the energy budget of the convection zone.  相似文献

A fortran code which computes synthetic light and colour curves of active, spotted stars has been developed. The main feature of this code is that it can simultaneously model the V light curve and the ( V − R )c, ( V − I )c, ( V − K ) colour data. It also uses new effective temperature–colour and Barnes–Evans-like calibrations, temperature and gravity-dependent limb darkening coefficients and different effective surface gravities for the spotted and unspotted photosphere. The code allows for two-component spots, i.e. spots with umbral and penumbral components. Various problematic spot configurations were investigated and we conclude that, in order to be able to differentiate spots with various thermal structures (umbrae, penumbrae, faculae) or polar spots from equatorial bands, the modelling of the infrared colours, especially ( V − I )c and ( V − K ), is needed.  相似文献

Sequences of Doppler images of the young, rapidly rotating late-type stars AB Dor and LQ Hya show that their equatorial angular velocity and the amplitude of their surface differential rotation vary versus time. Such variations can be modelled to obtain information on the intensity of the azimuthal magnetic stresses within stellar convection zones. We introduce a simple model in the framework of the mean-field theory and discuss briefly the results of its application to those solar-like stars. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The activity of the variable star IN Com is considered using the latest multicolor UBVRI photometry and linear polarimetric observations carried out during a decade. The photometric variability of the star is fully described using the zonal spottedness model developed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO). Spotted regions cover up to 22% of the total stellar surface, with the difference in temperatures between the quiet photosphere and the spot umbra being 600 K. The spots are located at middle and low latitudes (40°–55°). The intrinsic broad-band linear polarization of IN Com and its rotational modulation in the U band due to local magnetic fields at the most spotted (active) stellar longitudes were detected for the first time.  相似文献

We present a model for the differential rotation and dynamo activity of the young rapidly rotating K0 dwarf LQ Hya ( P rot=1.6 d). As might be expected from observations of the similar rapid rotator AB Dor, the predicted differential rotation is small (≃0.8 per cent) but extremely efficient in generating magnetic fields. The dynamo, which is of a distributed type, produces a globally axisymmetric field with radial and azimuthal components that are of the same magnitude and display a phase-lag in their evolution of about π/2. This is consistent with the long-term Zeeman–Doppler imaging study by Donati. The latitudinal distribution of flux is, however, a little different from that observed and the cycle period of 3.2 yr is somewhat shorter than suggested by the observations.  相似文献

We investigated continuous long-term photometric datasets of thirteen active stars, Ca II variability of one single mainsequence star, and 10.7 cm radio data of the Sun, with simple Fourier- and time-frequency analysis. The data reflect the strength of the activity manifested in magnetic spots. All studied stars show multiple (2 to 4) cycles of different lengths. The time-frequency analysis reveals, that in several cases of the sample one or two of the cycles exhibit continuous changes (increase or decrease). For four stars (V711 Tau, IL Hya, HK Lac, HD 100180) and for the Sun we find that the cycle length changes are strong, amounting to 10–50% during the observed time intervals. The cycle lengths are generally longer for stars with longer rotational periods. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

Photometric observations of the eclipsing variable system CG Cyg (G9+K3, P=0 d .63), which belongs to a group of short-period, chromospherically active RS CVn type stars with the same type of activity as the sun, have been made over two seasons in 2003 and 2004. The spotting of the star’s surface is modelled using the original observations together with photometric data published since 1965. In every season the spots were concentrated near the equator and covered up to 18% of the star’s entire surface, while the temperature difference between the quiescent photosphere and the spotted regions was 2100 K. Cyclical variations in the total area and average latitude of the spots, as well as flip-flop of the active longitudes, are suspected. Latitudinal drift of the spots during a cycle and differential rotation of the star are discovered. The following orbital elements are obtained: M1 = 0.93 M⊙, M2 = 0.81 M⊙, R1 = 1.01 R⊙, and R2 = 0.82 R⊙.__________Translated from Astrofizika, Vol. 48, No. 3, pp. 349–363 (August 2005).  相似文献

We developed a code for imaging the surfaces of spotted stars by a set of circular spots with a uniform temperature distribution. The flux from the spotted surface is computed by partitioning the spots into elementary areas. The code takes into account the passing of spots behind the visible stellar limb, limb darkening, and overlapping of spots. Modeling of light curves includes the use of recent results of the theory of stellar atmospheres needed to take into account the temperature dependence of flux intensity and limb darkening coefficients. The search for spot parameters is based on the analysis of several light curves obtained in different photometric bands. We test our technique by applying it to HII 1883.  相似文献

We present results of a statistical study of reversed-polarity regions, RPRs, collected over the past 11 years, 1969–1979.The 58 RPRs we studied have a lifespan comparable to normal active regions and have no tendency to rotate toward a more normal alignment. They seem to have stable configurations with no apparent evidence suggesting stress due to their anomalous magnetic alignment. Magnetic complexity in RPRs is the key to flare productivity just as it is in normal regions: Our weak field RPRs produce no flares and regions with complex spots produce more flares than regions with non-complex spots by a factor of 5.The RPRs however, differ from normal regions in the frequency of having complex spots, particularly the long-lived complex spots, in them. Less than 17% of normal ARs have complex spots; less than 1.8% have long-lived complex spots. In contrast, 41% of RPRs have complex spots and 24% have long-lived complex spots.  相似文献

Active regions     
H. Zirin 《Solar physics》1970,14(2):328-341
A summary of data on the occurrence of flares and the development of active regions, based on cinematographic data is given. It is shown that flare frequency is determined by the orientation of the magnetic axis relative to the direction of solar rotation and the morphology of the magnetic field as seen in H. In particular, flares are most numerous in simple round spots with reversed polarity nearby, although they may also be frequent in complex spots with polarity reversal.Important solar active regions are shown to evolve principally along two lines; typically they appear as bright regions with loops and grow rapidly to stable bipolar magnetic form. Important activity will occur as the result of later growth of following polarity ahead of the main spots, or some other source of reversal. However, some groups appear as reversed polarity regions and grow rapidly to a level of extreme activity.A series of papers giving case histories is promised.  相似文献

In the framework of the direct photometric problem we obtained an analytical representation of the light variations of binary systems of stars one of which with spots on its surface. The photometric effect is due to the mutual eclipses and to the rotation of the spotted component. These expressions can be used for the solution of the inverse problem for spotted stars.  相似文献

We present and apply a new computer program named SpotModeL to analyze single and multiple bandpass photometric data of spotted stars. It is based on the standard analytical formulae from Budding and Dorren. The program determines the position, size, and temperature of up to three spots by minimizing the fit residuals with the help of the Marquardt‐Levenberg non‐linear least‐squares algorithm. We also expand this procedure to full time‐series analysis of differential data, just as real observations would deliver. If multi‐bandpass data are available, all bandpasses can be treated simultaneously and thus the spot temperature is solved for implicitly. The program may be downloaded and used by anyone. In this paper, we apply our code to an ≈23 year long photometric dataset of the spotted RS CVn giant IM Peg. We extracted and modelled 33 individual light curves, additionally, we fitted the entire V dataset in one run. The resulting spot parameters reflect the long term light variability and reveal two active longitudes on the substellar point and on the antipode. The radius and longitude of the dominant spot show variations with 29.8 and 10.4 years period, respectively. Our multicolour data suggests that the spot temperature is increasing with the brightening of the star. The average spot temperature from V, IC is 3550 ± 150 K or approximately 900 K below the effective temperature of the star.  相似文献

This paper presents an extension of the method of the characteristic points by Kjurkchieva (1987, 1989). This method for the analysis of light curves of spotted stars is further developed by including spectral information. Expressions describing the variation of the rotation broadening of spectral features arising from a star spot are derived for a known spot configuration. The results are used in the solution of the inverse problem by the method of the characteristic points. It is shown that the rotation broadening of spectral features from star spots can be used to easily determine the angular size and the polar distance of a circular spot. It turns out that the equatorial velocity and radius of the spotted star can be obtained in some cases by the combined analysis of the photometric and spectral data.  相似文献

The Mount Wilson coarse array data set is used to define active regions in the interval 1967 to August, 1988. From the positions of these active regions on consecutive days, rotation rates are derived. The differential rotation of the active regions is calculated and compared with previous magnetic field and plage rates. The agreement is good except for the variation with time. The active region rates are slower by a few percent than the magnetic field or facular rates. The differential rotation rate of active regions with reversed magnetic polarity orientations is calculated. These regions show little or no evidence for differential rotation, although uncertainties in this determination are large. A correlation is found between rotation rate and region size in the sense that larger regions rotate more slowly. A correlation between rotation rate and cycle phase is suggested which is in agreement with earlier sunspot results. Leading and following portions of active regions, unlike leading and following spots, show little or no difference in their rotation rates. The regions with polarity orientations nearest the normal configuration tend to show rotation rates that are nearest the average values. Most of these results generally support the conclusion that old, weaker magnetic fields have evolved different subsurface connections from the time they were a part of sunspots or plages. It seems possible that they are connected at a shallower layer than are sunspot or plage fields.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under Contract with the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

Published discussions of photometric observations of VZ Hya and CM Lac disagree as to whether the deeper eclipses are transits or occultations. The evolutionary histories of these systems are critically dependent on a resolution of the disagreement. The luminosity ratio of the components of VZ Hya, inferred from spectrograms, shows unequivocally that the deeper eclipse is a transit. The case of CM Lac is less definitive. While the photometric observations favor primary minimum as a transit, the ratio of the radii is close to unity, and neither the spectrograms nor the photometry leads to an unequivocal result. Some confusion in notation appearing in a discussion of the components of EI Cep is noted. In each of the three cases the observational evidence favors a straightforward evolutionary interpretation in which the more massive star is the larger.  相似文献
