Sensitivity of spectral lines to granulation: from the Sun to K-type stars
V. Vasilyev, K. Sowmya, A. I. Shapiro +7
Stellar granulation produces radial-velocity (RV) jitter at the 1 m/s level in Sun-like stars, limiting Earth-analog detection. A route beyond this limit is to weight spectral line…
Simulations of facular magnetic fields on cool stars I: Main sequence stars with solar metallicity
Tanayveer Singh Bhatia, Robert H. Cameron, Sami K. Solanki +4
Stellar convection in the presence of magnetic field affects the emergent intensity, as well as the structure and evolution of cool main-sequence dwarfs. We aim to understand the e…
3D Radiative MHD Simulations of Starspots II: Large-scale Structure
Tanayveer Singh Bhatia, Mayukh Panja, Robert Cameron +1
We compute realistic 3D radiative MHD near-surface models of starspots with substantial penumbrae on cool main-sequence stars using the MURaM simulation code. This work is an impro…
First Calculations of Starspot Spectra based on 3D Radiative Magnetohydrodynamics Simulations
H. N. Smitha, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke +6
Accurate calculations of starspot spectra are essential for multiple applications in astronomy. The current standard is to represent starspot spectra by spectra of stars that are c…
