  Obtaining measurements of chromospheric and photometric activity of stars
with near-solar fundamental parameters and rotation periods is important for a
better understanding of solar-stellar connection. We select a sample of 2603
stars with near-solar fundamental parameters from the Large Sky Area
Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST)-Kepler field and use LAMOST
spectra to measure their chromospheric activity and Kepler light curves to
measure their photospheric activity (i.e., the amplitude of the photometric
variability). While the rotation periods of 1556 of these stars could not be
measured due to the low amplitude of the photometric variability and highly
irregular temporal profile of light curves, 254 stars were further identified
as having near-solar rotation periods. We show that stars with near-solar
rotation periods have chromospheric activities that are systematically higher
than stars with undetected rotation periods. Furthermore, while the solar level
of photospheric and chromospheric activity appears to be typical for stars with
undetected rotation periods, the Sun appears to be less active than most stars
with near-solar rotation periods (both in terms of photospheric and
chromospheric activity).
