2 Stellar radio emission HR diagram for the 420 radio detected stars (Gudel, 2002) -L radio a small (10-12 Sun) fraction of L tot Radio probes astrophysical phenomena non detectable by other means: -B and its topology in flares stars, RS CVn -HII region in dust enshrouded sources - Winds-winds interactions. Important for: -Stellar evolution -Physical processes in a wider context.
3 Stellar radio emission The brightest stellar radio emission associated with: -Large mass-loss (large emitting surface): free-free from stellar winds (OB, WR) S ν ν α α= Solar-type, non-thermal phenomena (high T B ): gyrosynchrotron, related to a strong and (often) variable stellar B Variable Gyro-synchrotron (Active stars and stellar systems): quiescent periods -slowly varying flux density, up to several mjy active periods -series of strong outburst, up to 1Jy
4 Active binary systems Active periods can last several months Noto 6cm monitoring- 23 days/ up to 12 hrs coverage Both quiescent and active periods are Related to solar-type magnetic activity (observed also in other spectral ranges) Radio flares in large magnetic structures (loops); in binaries could be intersystem: Algol (Mutel et al., 2009)
5 Stellar radio emission Coherents events (usually observed in addition to gyrosynchrotron) Modelled as electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) Astrophysical environments common ingredient strong B and energetic particles Active stars and stellar systems (Osten et al., 2004; Slee et al., ) Ultra Cool Dwarf (Hallinan et al., 2008) CPs stars (Trigilio et al., 2000; Trigilio et al., 2008, 2011) General Characteristics See Trigilio talk.. Polarization up to 100% Frequency structure Narrow bandwidth Short duration (time) Usually observed at low-freq < 2.5 GHz.
6 Active binary systems HR GHz GHz Δt 2-3 hrs ATCA Slee et al., 2008
7 -Both incoherent (gyro-syncrotron) and coherent emission Late M TVLM M9 RCP VLA, X,C simultaneous -2 epochs, 10 hrs each -folded with P= 1.96 hrs Stable magnetic structure? LCP Hallinan et al., 2006, Berger et al., 2009 McLean et al., 2011
8 The actual knowledge of stellar radio emission suffers of: -limited sensitivity: Stellar radio emission -selection bias: No radio star with radio luminosity similar to the quiescent Sun (L 6cm erg/sec Hz) detected yet. based on targeted observations aimed at addressing a specific astrophysical problem However, starting from some information on radio luminosity Flares stars (and late-m) Seaquist, 1993; Gudel 2002; Berger et al PMS Gudel, 2002 Active binary systems Moris and Mutel, 1988, Umana et al., 1993 OB-WR Seaquist, 1993; Bieging et al., 1989 CP Leone et al., 1992; Trigilio et al., 1994
9 We can build a stellar radio emission forecast Assumed distances are: 10pc flare stars, 100pc RS and PMS, 500pc CP, 1kpc OB and SG Schematic radio continuum spectrum of several classes of radio emitting stars
10 Stellar radio emission forecast With a limiting flux of 30 μjy: flare stars (q) detected up to 20pc, RS (q) up to 500pc PMS, CP and WR/OB at more than 1kpc
11 Stellar radio emission forecast Key question: How many stars, at sub-mjy level, we can expect to detect in one square degree of sky? Not obvious answer 1) the presence of stars belonging to classes thought to be radio emitter is a necessary but not sufficient condition to detect them. Need sufficient B and Nrel (non-therm) or mass-loss rate and UV field (therm) detection rate: OB 20%, CP 25%, 30-40% RS 2) Distance plays a role 3) Non-thermal radio emission is variable Can large field radio survey help? NVSS, too shallow and low angular resolution for stellar work FIRST, ATLAS, designed for extragalactic High Galactic Latitude
12 A deep radio survey with the ATCA The SCORPIO Project -same observing strategy as ATLAS -in a sky patch well suited for stellar work, i.e. low Galactic latitude Expected outcomes- Science - Enlarge the stellar radio emitting population, with no selection bias - Better comprehension of physics and plasma processes - Establish how common are coherent events among stellar sources.
13 The SCORPIO Project Expected outcomes- Planning the EMU project Results from SCORPIO will guide EMU in the following areas: - Dynamic range from sources complexity: issues related to complex, extended structure in the GP - Dynamic range from source variability: issues related to the presence of variability in most of non-therm sources - Source extractions: what is the most appropriate method for sources embedded in the diffuse emission in the GP
14 The selected field: requirements Close to the galactic Plane (GP) but not only in the GP: extended emission could be a severe issue A sufficient number of stars, good spread in classes of radio emitting object Few radio sources already detected in it: to be used as check Multi-λ observations available for comparative studies.
