Il permet d’échantillonner les disques de débris autour d’étoiles de l’environnement solaire. Dans la première partie de ce mémoire, un relevé polarimétrique de 108 étoiles des candidates de DEBRIS est présenté. Utilisant le polarimètre de l’Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic, des observations ont été effec- tuées afin de détecter la polarisation due à la présence de disques de débris. En raison d’un faible taux de détection d’étoiles polarisées, une analyse statistique a été réalisée dans le but de comparer la polarisation d’étoiles possédant un excès dans l’infrarouge et la polarisation de celles n’en possédant pas. Utilisant la théorie de diffusion de Mie, un modèle a été construit afin de prédire la polarisation due à un disque de débris. Les résultats du modèle sont cohérents avec les observations. La deuxième partie de ce mémoire présente des tests optiques du polarimètre POL-2, construit à l’Université de Montréal.

The study of stellar activity cycles is crucial to understand the underlying dynamo and how it causes magnetic activity signatures such as dark spots and bright faculae. Having knowledge about the dominant source of surface activity might allow us to draw conclusions about the star’s age and magnetic field topology, and to put the solar cycle in context. Aims. We investigate the underlying process that causes magnetic activity by studying the appearance of activity signatures in con- temporaneous photometric and chromospheric time series. Methods. Lomb-Scargle periodograms are used to search for cycle periods present in the photometric and chromospheric time series. To emphasize the signature of the activity cycle we account for rotation-induced scatter in both data sets by fitting a quasi-periodic Gaussian process model to each observing season. After subtracting the rotational variability, cycle amplitudes and the phase differ- ence between the two time series are obtained by fitting both time series simultaneously using the same cycle period. Results. We find cycle periods in 27 of the 30 stars in our sample.

Sykora on the Fe XIV 5303 A˚ line emission observed from 1939 to 2001 is proposed. Observations of the corona at an altitude of 60 above the limb reduced to a single photometric scale provide estimates of the emission of the entire visible solar surface. It is proposed to use the resulting series of daily measurements as a new index of the solar activity, GLSun (The Green-Line Sun). This index is purely observational and is free of the model-dependent limitations imposed on other indices of coronal activity. GLSun describes well both the cyclic activity and the rotational modulation of the brightness of the corona of the Sun as a star. The GLSun series was subject to a wavelet analysis similar to that applied to long-term variations in the chromospheric emission of late active stars. The brightness irregularities in the solar corona rotate more slowly during epochs of high activity than their average rotational speed over the entire observational interval.

    Optical Counterparts of ROSAT X-Ray Sources in Two Selected Fields at Low

    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. sbg˙comsge˙ed c ESO 2018 October 16, 2018 Optical counterparts of ROSAT X-ray sources in two selected fields at low vs. high Galactic latitudes J. Greiner1, G.A. Richter2 1 Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur extraterrestrische Physik, 85740 Garching, Germany 2 Sternwarte Sonneberg, 96515 Sonneberg, Germany Received 14 October 2013 / Accepted 12 August 2014 ABSTRACT Context. The optical identification of large number of X-ray sources such as those from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey is challenging with conventional spectroscopic follow-up observations. Aims. We investigate two ROSAT All-Sky Survey fields of size 10◦× 10◦ each, one at galactic latitude b = 83◦ (26 Com), the other at b = –5◦ (γ Sge), in order to optically identify the majority of sources. Methods. We used optical variability, among other more standard methods, as a means of identifying a large number of ROSAT All- Sky Survey sources. All objects fainter than about 12 mag and brighter than about 17 mag, in or near the error circle of the ROSAT positions, were tested for optical variability on hundreds of archival plates of the Sonneberg field patrol. Results. The present paper contains probable optical identifications of altogether 256 of the 370 ROSAT sources analysed. In partic- ular, we found 126 AGN (some of them may be misclassified CVs), 17 likely clusters of galaxies, 16 eruptive double stars (mostly CVs), 43 chromospherically active stars, 65 stars brighter than about 13 mag, 7 UV Cet stars, 3 semiregular resp. slow irregular variable stars of late spectral type, 2 DA white dwarfs, 1 Am star, 1 supernova remnant and 1 planetary nebula.
