LkCa4 EXSPLOSYN Magnetized H band Spectral Variations

This page hosts the full-resolution companion animations for my PhD thesis, Characterization of Young Active Stars for Identifying the Youngest Exoplanets.

H-band Spectral Comparison with Magnetic Field Effects

Description

This sequence is similar to the previous animation, but highlights the impact of incorporating magnetic fields (the Zeeman effect) into the model. Here, the SPIRou observations remain in black. The unmagnetized EXSPLOSYN forward model is plotted in red, while the updated EXSPLOSYN model incorporating a $2\text{ kG}$ magnetic field is shown in cyan.
