摘要:

本文介绍了位于球状星团NGC 6397中心区域的食双星V32的光谱和光度观测结果。该变星是一颗单线光谱双星,轨道周期为9.8783d,离心率为e=0.32。其系统速度(γ =20.7 km/s)和金属丰度([Fe/H] -1.9)均符合星系团成员资格。双星的主成分位于星系团颜色-星等图上主序关闭的顶部。在光变曲线上只能观察到一次浅的主食。根据年龄为12 Gyr的恒星模型和由径向速度曲线导出的质量函数,我们估算出该恒星的质量为M_p=0.79 Msun,M_s=0.23 Msun。当半径R_p=1.569 Rsun,R_s=0.236 Rsun,系统倾角i=85.44 °时,可再现V32的光变曲线。系统的几何形状排除了观测二次日食的可能性。大偏心率的轨道是令人困惑的,因为对于贫金属的晕双星,从圆形到偏心轨道的过渡发生在大约20天的轨道周期。我们假设V32的轨道在相对较近的时间内由于与其他星团恒星的动力学相互作用而发生了变化,另一种解释是该系统中存在第三个天体。

英文摘要:

We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary V32 located in the central field of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The variable is a single-line spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 9.8783d and a large eccentricity of e=0.32. Its systemic velocity (gamma=20.7 km/s) and metallicity ([Fe/H] -1.9) are both consistent with cluster membership. The primary component of the binary is located at the top of the main-sequence turn-off on the cluster color-magnitude diagram. Only a shallow primary eclipse is observed in the light curve. Based on stellar models for an age of 12Gyr and the mass-function derived from the radial velocity curve, we estimate the masses to be M_p=0.79 Msun and M_s=0.23 Msun. The light curve of V32 can be reproduced by adopting R_p=1.569 Rsun and R_s=0.236 Rsun for the radii and i=85.44 deg for the system inclination. The system geometry precludes observations of the secondary eclipse. The large eccentricity of the orbit is puzzling given that for metal poor, halo binaries the transition from circular to eccentric orbit occurs at an orbital period of about 20 days. We suppose that the orbit of V32 was modified relatively recently by dynamical interaction with other cluster star(s).An alternative explanation of the observed eccentricity calls for the presence of a third body in the system.
