The convective envelopes of cool main-sequence stars harbour magnetic fields with a complex global and local structure. These fields affect the near-surface convection and the outer stellar atmospheres in many ways and are responsible for the observable magnetic activity of stars. Aims. Our aim is to understand the local structure in unipolar regions with moderate average magnetic flux density. These correspond to plage regions covering a substantial fraction of the surface of the Sun (and likely also the surface of other Sun-like stars) during periods of high magnetic activity. Methods. We analyse the results of 18 local-box magnetohydrodynamics simulations covering the upper layers of the convection zones and the photospheres of cool main-sequence stars of spectral types F to early M. The average vertical field in these simulations ranges from 20 to 500 G. Results. We find a substantial variation of the properties of the surface magnetoconvection between main-sequence stars of different spectral types. As a consequence of a reduced efficiency of the convective collapse of flux tubes, M dwarfs lack bright magnetic structures in unipolar regions of moderate field strength. The spatial correlation between velocity and the magnetic field as well as the lifetime of magnetic structures and their sizes relative to the granules vary significantly along the model sequence of stellar types."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) [SFB 963/1]; DFG [DFG 1664/9-2]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/201525788"],["dc.identifier.isi","000361803900042"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12438"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36077"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edp Sciences S A"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","Three-dimensional simulations of near-surface convection in main-sequence stars III.

Following this serendipitous discovery, the EXOTIME (http://www.na.astro.it/similar to silvotti/exotime/)) monitoring program has been set up to follow the pulsations of a number of selected rapidly pulsating subdwarf B stars on time scales of several years with two immediate observational goals: (1) determine (P)over dot of the pulsational periods P (2) search for signatures of substellar companions in O-C residuals due to periodic light travel time variations, which would be tracking the central star's companion-induced wobble around the centre of mass These sets of data should therefore, at the same time, on the one hand be useful to provide extra constraints for classical asteroseismological exercises from the P. ( comparison with \"local\" evolutionary models), and on the other hand allow one to investigate the preceding evolution of a target in terms of possible \"binary\" evolution by extending the otherwise unsuccessful search for companions to potentially very low masses. While timing pulsations may be an observationally expensive method to search for companions, it samples a different range of orbital parameters, inaccessible through orbital photometric effects or the radial velocity method: the latter favours massive close-in companions, whereas the timing method becomes increasingly more sensitive toward wider separations. In this paper we report on the status of the on-going observations and coherence analysis for two of the currently five targets, revealing very well-behaved pulsational characteristics in HS 0444+0458, while showing HS 0702+6043 to be more complex than previously thought."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10509-010-0356-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000282823200038"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7631"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/18728"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-640X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","EXOTIME: searching for planets around pulsating subdwarf B stars"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2018Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","A52"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Astronomy and Astrophysics"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","610"],["dc.contributor.author","Bauer, F.

For the set of six 3D radiative (M) HD simulations of cool main-sequence stars described in the first paper of this series, we analyse the near-surface layers.

We detected and tracked granules in brightness images from the simulations to analyse their statistical properties, as well as their evolution and lifetime. We calculated spatially resolved spectral line profiles using the line synthesis code SPINOR. To enable a comparison to stellar observations, we implemented a numerical disc-integration, which includes (differential) rotation. Results. Although the stellar parameters change considerably along the model sequence, the properties of the granules are very similar. The impact of the 3D structure of the atmospheres on line profiles is measurable in disc-integrated spectra. Line asymmetries caused by convection are modulated by stellar rotation. Conclusions.

Methods. For all three simulations, we considered the average stratifications of various quantities (temperature, pressure, flow velocity, etc.) on surfaces of constant geometrical or optical depth, as well as their temporal and spatial fluctuations. We also compared observables, such as the spatially resolved patterns of the emerging intensity and of the vertical velocity at the solar optical surface as well as the center-to-limb variation of the continuum intensity at various wavelengths. Results. The depth profiles of the thermodynamical quantities and of the convective velocities as well as their spatial fluctuations agree quite well.

On March 20, 2015, we obtained 159 spectra of the Sun as a star with the solar telescope and the Fourier Transform Spectrograph at the Institut fur Astrophysik Gottingen, 76 spectra were taken during partial solar eclipse. We obtained RVs using I-2 as wavelength reference and determined the RM curve with a peak-to-peak amplitude of almost 1.4 km s(-1) at typical RV precision better than 1ms(-1). We modeled the disk-integrated solar RVs using well-determined parameterizations of solar surface velocities, limb darkening, and information about convective blueshift from 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations. We confirm that convective blueshift is crucial to understand solar RVs during eclipse. Our best model reproduced the observations to within a relative precision of 10% with residuals lower than 30 ms(-1). We cross-checked parameterizations of velocity fields using a Dopplergram from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and conclude that disk-integration of the Dopplergram does not provide correct information about convective blueshift necessary for ms(-1) RV work. As main limitation for modeling RVs during eclipses, we identified limited knowledge about convective blueshift and line shape as functions of solar limb angle. We suspect that our model line profiles are too shallow at limb angles larger than mu = 0.6; resulting in incorrect weighting of the velocities across the solar disk. Alternative explanations cannot be excluded, such as suppression of convection in magnetic areas and undiscovered systematics during eclipse observations. To make progress, accurate observations of solar line profiles across the solar disk are suggested. We publish our RVs taken during solar eclipse as a benchmark curve for codes calculating the RM effect and for models of solar surface velocities and line profiles."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/201629088"],["dc.identifier.isi","000388573500106"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14278"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39060"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation","info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/279347/EU/Development of new wavelength standards for the search for habitable planets/WAVELENGTH STANDARDS"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-0746"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","Radial velocity observations of the 2015 Mar. 20 eclipse A benchmark Rossiter-McLaughlin curve with zero free parameters"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2016Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","A159"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Astronomy & Astrophysics"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","592"],["dc.contributor.author","Ball, Warrick H."],["dc.contributor.author","Beeck, B."],["dc.contributor.author","Cameron, R.

Space-based observations of solar-like oscillators have identified large numbers of stars in which many individual mode frequencies can be precisely measured. However, current stellar models predict oscillation frequencies that are systematically affected by simplified modelling of the near-surface layers. Aims. We use three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations to better model the near-surface equilibrium structure of dwarfs with spectral types F3, G2, K0 and K5, and examine the differences between oscillation mode frequencies computed in stellar models with and without the improved near-surface equilibrium structure. Methods. We precisely match stellar models to the simulations’ gravities and effective temperatures at the surface, and to the temporally- and horizontally-averaged densities and pressures at their deepest points. We then replace the near-surface structure with that of the averaged simulation and compute the change in the oscillation mode frequencies. We also fit the differences using several parametric models currently available in the literature. Results. The surface effect in the stars of solar-type and later is qualitatively similar and changes steadily with decreasing effective temperature. In particular, the point of greatest frequency difference decreases slightly as a fraction of the acoustic cut-off frequency and the overall scale of the surface effect decreases. The surface effect in the hot, F3-type star follows the same trend in scale (i.e. it is larger in magnitude) but shows a different overall variation with mode frequency. We find that a two-term fit using the cube and inverse of the frequency divided by the mode inertia is best able to reproduce the surface terms across all four spectral types, although the scaled solar term and a modified Lorentzian function also match the three cooler simulations reasonably well. Conclusions. Three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations of near-surface convection can be averaged and combined with stellar structure models to better predict oscillation mode frequencies in solar-like oscillators. Our simplified results suggest that the surface effect is generally larger in hotter stars (and correspondingly smaller in cooler stars) and of similar shape in stars of solar type and cooler. However, we cannot presently predict whether this will remain so when other components of the surface effect are included."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1051/0004-6361/201628300"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146958"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14283"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/4725"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","0004-6361"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.title","MESA meets MURaM"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI2015Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.artnumber","A43"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Astronomy and Astrophysics"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","581"],["dc.contributor.author","Beeck, Benjamin"],["dc.contributor.author","Schuessler, M."],["dc.contributor.author","Cameron, R.

Magnetic fields affect the local structure of the photosphere of stars. They can considerably influence the radiative properties near the optical surface, flow velocities, and the temperature and pressure profiles.

We aim at understanding qualitatively the influence of small magnetic flux concentrations in unipolar plage regions on the centre-to-limb variation of the intensity and its contrast and on the shape of spectral line profiles in cool main-sequence stars. Methods. We analyse the bolometric and continuum intensity and its angular dependence of 24 radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the near-surface layers of main-sequence stars with six different sets of stellar parameters (spectral types F to early M) and four different average magnetic field strengths (including the non-magnetic case). We also calculated disc-integrated profiles of three spectral lines. Results. The small magnetic flux concentrations formed in the magnetic runs of simulations have a considerable impact on the intensity and its centre-to-limb variation. In some cases, the difference in limb darkening between magnetic and non-magnetic runs is larger than the difference between the spectral types. Spectral lines are not only broadened owing to the Zeeman effect, but are also strongly affected by the modified thermodynamical structure and flow patterns. This indirect magnetic impact on the line profiles is often bigger than that of the Zeeman effect. Conclusions. The effects of the magnetic field on the radiation leaving the star can be considerable and is not restricted to spectral line broadening and polarisation by the Zeeman effect.

We find monotonic trends along the lower main sequence in granule size, flow velocity, and intensity contrast. The convection in the M-star models differs substantially from that of the hotter stars, mainly owing to the more gradual transition from convective to radiative energy transport. Conclusions. While the basic mechanisms driving surface convection in cool stars are the same, the properties of the convection vary along the main sequence. Apart from monotonic trends in rms velocity, intensity contrast, granule size, etc., there is a transition between \"naked\"and \"hidden\"granulation around spectral type K5V caused by the (highly non-linear) temperature dependence of the opacity.
