摘要:

本文对超致密X射线双星4U 0614 +091进行了详细的光学研究。我们使用了63小时的时间分辨光学测光三个不同的望远镜(IAC 80,非和SPM),以寻找光学调制。每个数据集的功率谱揭示了具有不同周期的正弦调制,这并不总是存在的。最强的调制具有51.3分钟的周期,4.6 mmags的半振幅,并且存在于IAC 80数据中。SPM和NOT数据分别显示42分钟和64分钟的周期,但振幅要弱得多,分别为2.6 mags和1.3 mmags。这些调制产生的X射线照射的内面的第二颗星和/或从吸积盘的超级驼峰调制,或准周期调制的吸积盘。目前还不清楚这些周期/准周期调制是否与轨道周期有关,但是,最强的51.3分钟的周期接近早期的暂定轨道周期。鼓励在长基线上进行进一步的观察。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed optical study of the ultra-compact X-ray binary 4U0614+091. We have used 63 hrs of time-resolved optical photometry taken with three different telescopes (IAC80, NOT and SPM) to search for optical modulations. The power spectra of each dataset reveals sinusoidal modulations with different periods, which are not always present. The strongest modulation has a period of 51.3 mins, a semi-amplitude of 4.6 mmags, and is present in the IAC80 data. The SPM and NOT data show periods of 42 mins and 64 mins respectively, but with much weaker amplitudes, 2.6 mags and 1.3 mmags respectively. These modulations arise from either X-ray irradiation of the inner face of the secondary star and/or a superhump modulation from the accretion disc, or quasi-periodic modulations in the accretion disc. It is unclear whether these periods/quasi-periodic modulations are related to the orbital period, however, the strongest period of 51.3 mins is close to earlier tentative orbital periods. Further observations taken over a long base-line are encouraged.
