X-ray activity of stars from 2RXS, LAMOST & Gaia
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
Using the homogeneous X-ray catalog from ROSAT observations, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into stellar X-ray activity-rotation relations for both single and binary stars.
Description
Generally, the relation for single stars consists of two distinct regions: a weak decay region, indicating a continued dependence of the magnetic dynamo on stellar rotation rather than a saturation regime with constant activity, and a rapid decay region, where X-ray activity is strongly correlated with the Rossby number.
Detailed analysis reveals more fine structures within the relation: in the extremely fast-rotating regime, a decrease in X-ray activity was observed with increasing rotation rate, referred to as supersaturation, while in the extremely slow-rotating region, the relation flattens, mainly due to the scattering of F stars. This scattering may result from intrinsic variability in stellar activities over one stellar cycle or the presence of different dynamo mechanisms.

Binaries exhibit a similar relation to that of single stars while the limited sample size prevented the identification of fine structures in the relation for binaries. We calculated the mass-loss rates of planetary atmospheres triggered by X-ray emissions from host stars. Our findings indicate that for an Earthlike planet within the stellar habitable zone, it would easily lose its entire primordial H/He envelope (equating to about 1% of the planetary mass).
