摘要:

在1980年之前和之后对3.7天造父变星RT Aur的光变曲线的观测表明,该变星正经历着一个整体的周期增加,达到+0.082 +-0.012秒/年,而不是像1980年之前的所有观测所暗示的那样,周期减少。叠加在恒星的O-C变化上的是一个正弦趋势,不能归因于脉动周期的随机波动。相反,它似乎是由双星系统中的光旅行时间效应引起的。该系统的轨道周期为P = 26,429 +-89天(72.36 +-0.24年)。从O-C残差推断的轨道参数与现有径向速度数据所示的轨道参数不同。后者意味着最合理的结果,即a1 sin i = 9.09(+-1.81)x 10^8 km,最小次级质量M2 = 1.15 +-0.25 Msun。有必要继续监测造父变星的亮度和径向速度变化,以确认长期趋势,并为轨道的适当光谱解决方案提供数据。

英文摘要:

Observations of the light curve for the 3.7-day Cepheid RT Aur both before and since 1980 indicate that the variable is undergoing an overall period increase, amounting to +0.082 +-0.012 s/yr, rather than a period decrease, as implied by all observations prior to 1980. Superposed on the star's O-C variations is a sinusoidal trend that cannot be attributed to random fluctuations in pulsation period. Rather, it appears to arise from light travel time effects in a binary system. The derived orbital period for the system is P = 26,429 +-89 days (72.36 +-0.24 years). The inferred orbital parameters from the O-C residuals differ from those indicated by existing radial velocity data. The latter imply the most reasonable results, namely a1 sin i = 9.09 (+-1.81) x 10^8 km and a minimum secondary mass of M2 = 1.15 +-0.25 Msun. Continued monitoring of the brightness and radial velocity changes in the Cepheid are necessary to confirm the long-term trend and to provide data for a proper spectroscopic solution to the orbit.
