Description
It is known that the convective motions at solar photosphere level are
visible in the frequency domain through the so called ""solar noise"".
Time-resolved differential CCD photometry time series form 2 to 4 days
long obtained at the Observatorio del Teide Izaña (Tenerife)
using the 1m telescope of the Optical Ground Station (OGS) have been
taken of five different stellar fields containing late type stars
(spectral types F G and K) using de-focusing technique. It is expected
they present convective activity at stellar surface and hence its
signature must appear in their power spectra. By analogy with the solar
case information about time scales of the possible stellar convective
structures may be inferred. One of the observed stellar fields contained
Uranus which reflects the light coming from the Sun and may be used to
calibrate the stellar power spectra of the surrounding stars in the
field since solar one is known from space observations carried out by
Variability of the solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations (VIRGO)
instrument.
