AbstractWe carried out spectroscopic observations with Subaru/HDS of 50 solar-type superflare stars found from Kepler data. More than half (34 stars) of the target stars show no evidence of the binary system, and we confirmed atmospheric parameters of these stars are roughly in the range of solar-type stars.We then conducted the detailed analyses for these 34 stars. First, the value of the “v sin i” (projected rotational velocity) measured from spectroscopic results is consistent with the rotational velocity estimated from the brightness variation. Second, there is a correlation between the amplitude of the brightness variation and the intensity of Ca II IR triplet line. All the targets expected to have large starspots because of their large amplitude of the brightness variation show high chromospheric activities compared with the Sun. These results support that the brightness variation of superflare stars is explained by the rotation of a star with large starspots.

Four solar type G stars claimed to be photometrically very similar to the Sun have been analyzed in detail on high resolution, high S/N spectra. Their atmospheric parameters : effective temperature, spectroscopic gravity, microturbulence and iron abundance, [Fe/H], have been determined.

We report Li abundances from the λ6707 line for 19 nearby dwarf and subgiant solar-type stars. The unevolved stars in this sample present high (> 2.00) Li abundances. We found a few cases of subgiant stars which present high Li content. The Sun seems to be part of a population of nearly unevolved stars which have depleted their Li to a high degree: all other metal-normal, near ZAMS stars in our sample show higher than solar Li content. There seems to be no correlation of the degree of Li depletion with mass, atmospheric parameters or state of evolution: as an example we found a star (HR1532) almost identical to the Sun in its state of evolution and atmospheric parameters, but with over ten times the solar Li abundance. We propose that different histories of angular momentum distribution at star birth, and/or post-birth angular momentum evolution, may account for these differences.

The metallicities of the globular clusters 47 Tucanae, NGC3201, and NGC6752 have been determined from high dispersion spectra obtained with the echelle spectrograph at CTIO. The mean iron deficiencies of NGC3201 and NGC6752 are −1.0 and −1.3, respectively. Oxygen is enriched by a factor of two in NGC3201; no oxygen data are available in NGC6752 due to the small radial velocity of this cluster. The atmospheric parameters and the abundances, relative to the Sun, of individual elements for two stars in 47 Tuc are tabulated below. Star identifications are taken from Hesser and Hartwick (1977). The stellar effective temperatures were established from the spectroscopic data; the data do not permit temperatures much in excess of those quoted. Surface gravities were calculated from the cluster's distance modulus and other reasonably well-known quantities, with the assumption that the mass of a cluster giant is 0.8 M⊙.

There are certain visual double stars which, when close to a node of their relative orbit, should have enough radial velocity difference (10-20 km/s) that the spectra of the two component stars will appear resolved on high-dispersion spectrograms (5 Å/mm or less) obtainable by use of modern coudé and solar spectrographs on bright stars. Both star images are then recorded simultaneously on the spectrograph slit, so that two stellar components will appear on each spectrogram.

AbstractWe continued our search for partial (incomplete) Dyson spheres associated with 50 solar-type stars (spectral classes F, G, and K) within 25 pc of the Sun. No candidate objects were found.

AbstractWe report on our project to study the activity in both the Sun and low mass stars. Utilising high cadence, Hα observations of a filament eruption made using the CRISP spectropolarimeter mounted on the Swedish Solar Telescope has allowed us to determine 3D velocity maps of the event. To gain insight into the physical mechanism which drives the event we have qualitatively compared our observation to a 3D MHD reconnection model. Solar-type and low mass stars can be highly active producing flares with energies exceeding erg. Using K2 and TESS data we find no correlation between the number of flares and the rotation phase which is surprising. Our solar flare model can be used to aid our understanding of the origin of flares in other stars. By scaling up our solar model to replicate observed stellar flare energies, we investigate the conditions needed for such high energy flares.

The two most recent theories dealing with the physical constitution of the sun are due to M. Faye and to Messrs. De la Rue, Balfour Stewart, and Loewy. The chief point of difference in these two theories is the explanation given by each of the phenomena of sun-spots. Thus, according to M. Faye, the interior of the sun is a nebulous gaseous mass of feeble radiating-power, at a temperature of dissociation; the photosphere is, on the other hand, of a high radiating-power, and at a temperature sufficiently low to permit of chemical action. In a sunspot we see the interior nebulous mass through an opening in the photosphere, caused by an upward current, and the sun-spot is black, by reason of the feeble radiating-power of the nebulous mass.
