| Abstract: |
We present the analysis of the Ca II (H+K) chromospheric emission line of a
sample of 76 evolved stars. The spectra were taken from the UVES Paranal
Observatory Project, which consists in a library of high resolution spectra.
Since our main purpose is to obtain the basal flux, which is associated with
non magnetic processes, we used a sample of evolved stars. We used the PHOENIX
atmospheric models as photospheric templates in order to measure the
chromospheric contribution only. Thanks to the large grid of atmospheric models, we
were able to determine surface gravity (log g) and effective temperature (Teff) for every
star in our sample, and we found that the goodness of fit between the atmospheric models and
the stellar spectra decreases with decreasing temperature, indicating the existence of
missing factors, i.e. metallicity, to take into account in the modelling of
cool stars. Finally, we obtained a basal flux that agrees within the errors
with previous results in the literature; this assures us the correct use of the
PHOENIX atmospheric models as photospheric templates. |
