Magnetic flaring in pre-main sequence stars
Observations of nearby star forming clouds with imaging Xray telescopes have revealed that X-ray emission is elevated 10 − 10 above main sequence levels in low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. The variability and spectral X-ray evidence, together with circularly polarized radio continuum flares seen in a few cases, strongly argues for an origin in magnetic reconnection flares. These high lev...
متن کاملEvidence of magnetic field decay in massive main-sequence stars
A significant fraction of massive main-sequence stars show strong, large-scale magnetic fields. The origin of these fields, their lifetimes, and their role in shaping the characteristics and evolution of massive stars are currently not well understood. We compile a catalogue of 389 massive main-sequence stars, 61 of which are magnetic, and derive their fundamental parameters and ages. The two s...
متن کاملCoronal Structure of Pre-Main Sequence Stars
The study of pre-main sequence stellar coronae is undertaken in many different wavelength regimes, with apparently conflicting results. X-ray studies of T Tauri stars suggest the presence of loops with a range of sizes ranging from less than a stellar radius to 10 stellar radii. Some of these stars show a clear rotational modulation in X-rays, but many do not and indeed the nature of this emiss...
متن کاملEntropy Production of Main-Sequence Stars
The entropy production (inside the volume bounded by a photosphere) of main-sequence stars is calculated based on B–V photometry data. The entropy-production distribution function and the dependences of entropy production on temperature and luminosity are obtained for these stars for the first time. A very small range of variation of specific (per volume) entropy production discovered for main-...
متن کاملVLTI observations of Main Sequence stars
Main Sequence (MS) stars are by far the most numerous class in the Universe. They are often somewhat neglected as they are relatively quiet objects (but exceptions exist), though they bear testimony of the past and future of our Sun. An important characteristic of the MS stars, particularly the solar-type ones, is that they host the large majority of the known extrasolar planets. Moreover, at t...
