摘要:

本文报道了利用孔径掩模干涉术和天体测量术对棕矮星GJ 802 B质量的动态测量。此外,我们还发现GJ 802A本身就是一颗周期为19小时的近距离分光不食双星。我们发现GJ 802 B的质量为$0.063\pm0.005$ M $_\sun$。GJ 802的运动学与年轻恒星不一致,但更符合厚盘的人口,这意味着系统的年龄为$\sim$ 10 GYr。然而,GJ 802 B的模型演化轨迹预测系统年龄为$\sim$ 2 GYr,这表明棕矮星演化模型可能低估了老棕矮星的光度。

英文摘要:

We report a dynamical measurement of the mass of the brown dwarf GJ 802B using aperture-masking interferometry and astrometry. In addition, we report the discovery that GJ 802A is itself a close spectroscopic non-eclipsing binary with a 19 hour period. We find the mass of GJ 802B to be $0.063\pm0.005$M$_\sun$. GJ 802 has kinematics inconsistent with a young star and more consistent with the thick disk population, implying a system age of $\sim$10 GYr. However, model evolutionary tracks for GJ 802B predict system ages of $\sim$2 GYr, suggesting that brown dwarf evolutionary models may be underestimating luminosity for old brown dwarfs.
