摘要:

我们报道了在汉堡类星体巡天(HQS)中发现的一颗新的白矮星/M矮星双星HS 1857 +5144。利用时间分辨光谱和光度法测定了这一新的激变变前体的性质。HS 1857 +5144的光变曲线为正弦曲线,周期为Porb=383.52 min,B波段和R波段的峰-峰振幅分别为0.7 mag和1.1 mag。亮度变化的大幅度是由于伴星加热的内半球的反射效应造成的,表明白矮星的温度非常高。我们的径向速度研究证实了光度周期作为系统的轨道周期。一个适合于在最低光照下获得的白矮星光谱的模型大气提供了其质量和温度的限制,分别为Mwd=~0.6-1.0 Msun和Twd=~70000-100000 K。探测到的HeII 4686吸收将HS 1857 +5144的主星归类为DAO白矮星。结合我们的光谱学和光度学的结果,我们估计伴星的质量和双星倾角分别为Msec=~0.15-0.30 Msun和i=~45-55 deg。我们将HS 1857 +5144归类为迄今为止已知的最年轻的pre-CV之一。白矮星的冷却年龄表明,目前的系统刚刚从大约10^5年前的一个共同的包络阶段出现。HS 1857 +5144将在2- 3小时间隔内或以下开始传质。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a new white dwarf/M dwarf binary, HS1857+5144, identified in the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). Time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry were carried out to determine the properties of this new cataclysmic variable progenitor pre-CV). The light curves of HS1857+5144 display a sinusoidal variation with a period of Porb=383.52 min and peak-to-peak amplitudes of 0.7 mag and 1.1 mag in the B-band and R-band, respectively. The large amplitude of the brightness variation results from a reflection effect on the heated inner hemisphere of the companion star, suggesting a very high temperature of the white dwarf. Our radial velocity study confirms the photometric period as the orbital period of the system. A model atmosphere fit to the spectrum of the white dwarf obtained at minimum light provides limits to its mass and temperature of Mwd=~0.6-1.0 Msun and Twd=~70000-100000 K, respectively. The detection of HeII 4686 absorption classifies the primary star of HS1857+5144 as a DAO white dwarf. Combining the results from our spectroscopy and photometry, we estimate the mass of the companion star and the binary inclination to be Msec=~0.15-0.30 Msun and i=~45-55 deg, respectively. We classify HS1857+5144 as one of the youngest pre-CV known to date. The cooling age of the white dwarf suggests that the present system has just emerged from a common envelope phase ~10^5 yr ago. HS1857+5144 will start mass transfer within or below the 2-3h period gap.
