论文摘要
磁性恒星的性质相对较少,尚未完全理解。迄今为止,已经确认了这些恒星中的十二个,因此由于少量统计数据,其全球性质的任何推断都不确定。为了更好地了解这些对象,有必要增加已知样本。 Mobster协作的目的是通过鉴定候选磁O,B和A恒星来实现这一目标,从鉴定来自过渡性系外行星调查卫星(TESS)的高精度光度法中的旋转调制。在这里,我们讨论了该协作在检测苔丝目标中旋转调制的努力,以鉴定候选磁性恒星以进行未来的光谱观测。
Being relatively rare, the properties of magnetic O stars are not fully understood. To date fewer than a dozen of these stars have been confirmed, making any inference of their global properties uncertain due to small number statistics. To better understand these objects it is necessary to increase the known sample. The MOBSTER collaboration aims to do this by identifying candidate magnetic O, B, and A stars from the identification of rotational modulation in high-precision photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Here we discuss the collaboration's efforts to detect rotational modulation in TESS targets to identify candidate magnetic O stars for future spectropolarimetric observations.
