在我们之前使用TESS对低质量恒星的研究中,我们发现少数恒星表现出周期为1d的周期性调制,但也没有表现出耀斑活动。在这里,我们给出了系统地搜索南黄道半球超快旋转子(UFR)的结果,这是用TESS在2分钟的节奏中观测到的。利用GaiaDR2的数据,我们获得了靠近下主序的超过13颗 000恒星的样本。在这些恒星中,我们发现了609颗恒星,它们位于较低的主序上,具有周期调制<1d。出现耀斑的恒星比例似乎在周期<0.2d时显著下降。如果周期是自转速度的标志,这将是一个惊喜,因为更快的自转速度预计会有更强的磁场,从而产生更多耀斑。我们探索了我们发现的可能原因:耀斑不活跃的恒星是双星的成员,在这种情况下,恒星的自转速度可能会随着双星轨道间隔的减小而增加,因为角动量损失随着时间的推移而减少,或者增强的发射发生在TESS通带之外的蓝色波长。为了解决这个问题,需要对这些耀斑不活跃的恒星进行蓝/紫外线波段的后续光谱和耀斑监测。
In our previous study of low-mass stars usingTESS, we found a handful that show a periodic modulation on a period <1 d but also displayed no flaring activity. Here we present the results of a systematic search for ultrafast rotators (UFRs) in the Southern ecliptic hemisphere, which were observed in 2-min cadence withTESS. Using data fromGaiaDR2, we obtain a sample of over 13 000 stars close to the lower main sequence. Of these, we identify 609 stars that lie on the lower main sequence and have a periodic modulation <1 d. The fraction of stars that show flares appears to drop significantly at periods <0.2 d. If the periods are a signature of the rotation rate, this would be a surprise, since faster rotators would be expected to have a stronger magnetic field and, therefore, produce more flares. We explore possible reasons for our finding: The flare inactive stars are members of binaries, in which case the stars rotation rate could have increased as the binary orbital separation reduced due to angular momentum loss over time, or that enhanced emission occurs at blue wavelengths beyond the pass band ofTESS. Follow-up spectroscopy and flare monitoring at blue/ultraviolet wavelengths of these flare inactive stars are required to resolve this question.
