19 Photometric b,y variability of Sun-like Stars 19
20 Photometric b,y variability of Sun-like Stars 20
21 The sense of variation (yr-to-yr) Filled circles: HK activity anti-correlated with brightness (young stars) Open circles: HK activity directly correlated with brightness (Sun-age stars) After 11 years After 18 years Correlations are stronger with 7 years more data now available 21
22 18 Scorpii the Solar Twin 22
23 18 Sco and the Sun: Could we see the solar cycle photometrically? ACRIM data degraded to 18 Sco window & precision 23
24 18 Sco the Solar Twin Strömgren b & y (top & center) and S-index (bottom) variation 24
25 18 Sco the Solar Twin More Active Brighter Scatter plots for b, y (ordinate), and S-index (abscissa) for 18 Sco 25
26 Ratio of brightness & activity variation Sun (cycle excursion Positive bar) correlation 18 Sco (open square) Negative correlation 26
27 The Sun among the stars Magnetic activity on cycle timescales Cyclic magnetic activity, measured in the H and K lines of Ca II, obeys a power-law relation with respect to mean chromospheric activity. The Sun and the solar analog 18 Sco are slightly more variable in HK than the average for stars of similar mean chromospheric activity. 27
28 The Sun among the stars Photometric activity on cycle timescales Cycle timescale photometric variations also follow a power law. Filled symbols indicate variability. The Sun s irradiance variations may be relatively small compared with stars of similar activity. The solar analog 18 Sco may be even less variable than the Sun, although another decade of observation is needed to be sure. 28
29 The SORCE / SIM surprise b mag b y y mag S index b, y, and the S-index are all positively correlated in 18 Sco, as for many Sun-age stars... but SIM suggests different relationships for the Sun itself 29
30 Conclusions Young stars tend to show strong activity that varies irregularly. Regular cycles like the Sun s occur among older stars, particularly those cooler than the Sun. Young stars show strong photometric variability that anti-correlates with their HK variations. Older stars like the Sun show much weaker photometric variability that tends to follow cyclic Ca II activity directly, as does the solar TSI. The Solar Twin 18 Sco follows this pattern. SORCE / SIM suggests that the Sun itself behaves differently Wake me up when this gets sorted out. 30
