论文摘要
太阳能类似物在质量或光谱类型中广泛定义为类似于太阳的恒星,为探索类似太阳的行为的范围和探索一些太阳最难以捉摸的过程(如冠状热和发电机)提供了一个有用的实验室。我们描述了一系列动机动机,但天体物理样品的太阳能类似物研究。我们主张一系列出色的观察,包括(a)新太阳能类似物的识别和基本参数确定,以及(b)表征活动,磁性和颗粒状等新兴特性。这些参数应在统计研究的框架内考虑这些观察到的对基本恒星参数(例如质量,金属性和旋转)的依赖性。
Solar analogs, broadly defined as stars similar to the Sun in mass or spectral type, provide a useful laboratory for exploring the range of Sun-like behaviors and exploring the physical mechanisms underlying some of the Sun's most elusive processes like coronal heating and the dynamo. We describe a series of heliophysics-motivated, but astrophysics-like studies of solar analogs. We argue for a range of stellar observations, including (a) the identification and fundamental parameter determination of new solar analogs, and (b) characterizing emergent properties like activity, magnetism, and granulation. These parameters should be considered in the framework of statistical studies of the dependences of these observables on fundamental stellar parameters like mass, metallicity, and rotation.
