银河系高纬度接触双星朝向LMC和SMC的光度函数

Luminosity function of contact binaries at high galactic latitudes towards the LMC and the SMC

Pascal D. Nef, Slavek M. Rucinski

摘要:

利用OGLE的食双星表,在SMC和LMC附近发现了15颗与银道面垂直距离在300秒差距到10千秒差距之间的接触双星。根据这些接触双星的光度函数计算,我们估计在厚盘中相对于主序星的出现频率大约为1/600。这一估计受到小数字统计的影响,但与以前发现的太阳邻域的值一致。

英文摘要:

Using the OGLE catalogue of eclipsing binaries, 15 contact binaries were identified towards the SMC and the LMC at vertical distances from the Galactic plane between 300 pc and 10 kpc. Based on the luminosity function calculated for these contact binaries, we estimated a frequency of occurrence relative to Main Sequence stars in the thick disk at roughly 1/600. This estimate suffers from the small number statistics, but is consistent with the value previously found for the solar neighbourhood.
