Abstract:
As the closest and one of the oldest accessible open clusters (47 pc and 625 Myr), the Hyades is a benchmark in any number of areas of stellar astrophysics. For example, Hyads have been used to test stellar models and to calibrate gyrochronology and metallicity scales. The X-ray picture, however, is far from satisfying: the X-ray census of Hyads is still woefully incomplete, consisting primarily of ROSAT observations of >1 M_solar stars. Given the wealth of new photometric data acquired by K2 and by TESS, the current limitations of the X-ray data are particularly galling, as we cannot fully exploit the cluster to place constraints on the still poorly understood age-rotation-activity relation. We therefore propose to target the Hyades as a Chandra CCT program. Every new X-ray observation of a Hyad can be matched to our extensive and growing database of complementary measurements to deepen our understanding of the connection between rotation and activity in low-mass stars.
