Modeling X-ray emission from stellar coronae
By extrapolating from observationally derived surface magnetograms of low-mass stars we construct models of their coronal magnetic fields and compare the 3D field geometry with axial multipoles. AB Dor, which has a radiative core, has a very complex field, whereas V374 Peg, which is completely convective, has a simple dipolar field. We calculate global X-ray emission measures assuming that the ...
متن کاملX-ray Astronomy of Stellar Coronae ⋆
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures exceeding 1 million K. Coronae are ubiquitous among these stars, yet many fundamental mechanisms operating in their magnetic fields still elude an interpretation through a detailed physical description. Stellar X-ray astr...
متن کاملSlingshot prominences above stellar X-ray coronae
We present a new model for the coronal structure of rapidly rotating solar-type stars. The presence of prominences trapped in co-rotation 2 to 5 stellar radii above the stellar surface has been taken as evidence that the coronae of these stars must be very extended. The observed surface magnetic fields, however, cannot contain Xray emitting gas out to these distances. We present an alternative ...
متن کاملOn X-ray Optical Depth in the Coronae of Active Stars
We have investigated the optical thickness of the coronal plasma through the analysis of high-resolution X-ray spectra of a large sample of active stars observed with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on Chandra. In particular, we probed for the presence of significant resonant scattering in the strong Lyman series lines arising from hydrogen-like oxygen and neon ions. The activ...
متن کاملLoop Modeling of X-ray Coronae: Solar-type Stars in Young Clusters and Associations
The disk-integrated X-ray emission from late-type stars originates from hot coronal plasmas most likely connned in closed magnetic structures, of the kind clearly observed on the Sun. The complex plasma temperature stratiication in such structures can be described accurately using hydrostatic coronal loop models, which can be adopted to synthesize the X-ray emission, and to t the observed X-ray...
