论文摘要
Zeeman多普勒成像是表征恒星磁场的强度和拓扑的强大工具。在本研究说明中,我们提出了一种新的方式,可将ZDI的典型结果显示为一组恒星,以解决标准“混淆图”方法的某些问题来说明数据。我们公开可用的绘图方法进一步使可访问的手段可以考虑从重复观察的推断磁场拓扑中的变异性,因为我们使用文献ZDI数据进行了M DWARFS的文献数据。
Zeeman Doppler Imaging is a powerful tool for characterizing the strength and topology of stellar magnetic fields. In this research note, we present a new way to visualize the typical results from ZDI for an ensemble of stars, addressing some of the concerns with the standard `confusogram' approach to illustrating the data. Our publically available plotting methods further enable an accessible means to consider variability in the inferred magnetic field topologies from repeated observations, as we demonstrate with the literature ZDI data on M dwarfs.
