小质量恒星转动与磁活动的研究及其星震学限制

We are entering a golden era for stellar physics driven by satellite and telescope observations of unprecedented quality and scope. The telescope observations in Chinese Academy of Sciences, and CoRoT and Kepler missions with ultra-high precision photometry of long and continuous observations, provide a unique dataset in which surface rotation rate and stellar activity of low-mass stars. New data and surveys covering large mass and age ranges have provided a wide parameter space. This new capability has provided improved constraints on stellar theory for rotation and activity. However, the observations do not yet allow a detailed confrontation with the description of the physical properties and the dynamics. Further, a major uncalibrated ingredient that makes stellar evolution models uncertain, is the stellar interior rotation and its evolution during stellar life. A better understanding of stellar rotation is of great importance for our understanding of stellar dynamo in general, and especially the evolution and transport of angular momentum. The issue demands us to improve and develop the angular momentum evolution models. The some important physics will be considered in the stellar modelling, including the characteristics of their rotation, magnetic field, and the property of loss and transport of angular momentum of the stars. New insights on stellar evolution and stellar interiors physics are being made possible by asteroseismology. For low-mass stars, an important aspect of development of the angular momentum evolution models can be used to better understand the detailed mechanism driving stellar magnetic activity, and improve the rotation-age-activity relationship, which would allow us to measure the age of a star by measuring its magnetic activity level and its rotation period in a model-independent way. Another aim is to assess their evolutionary status, derive their basic parameters, and improved understanding of stellar dynamos for low-mass stars.
