Long-term Photometric Analysis of the Active W UMa-type System TU Bootis

Jeffrey L. Coughlin, Horace A. Dale, Richard M. Williamon

摘要:

我们提出了多色光变曲线的WUMA型食二TU博为两个时代相隔22年。O-C图的分析表明,早期的观察发生在一个主要的周期变化的中间,从而允许在这个W UMA型系统的传质和周期变化的独特的研究。我们计算模型适合我们的光变曲线,以及唯一的其他公布的一套,使用威尔逊Devinney程序,并找到时间相关的变化,在O-C图中的异常的二次组件的大小。我们调查这些变化的原因,并找到支持的存在快速,大规模的组件之间的传质。我们假设,这种相互作用使他们能够保持几乎相等的表面温度,尽管已经实现了边缘接触。我们还发现支持进化的情况下,TU Boo已经经历了一个质量比逆转,在过去由于大规模的质量转移,使目前的第二个组成部分的TU Boo是在一个先进的进化状态,过大,由于氦丰富的核心,与总系统年龄为$\geq$ 10 Gyr。

英文摘要:

We present multi-color light curves for the W UMa-type eclipsing binary TU Boo for two epochs separated by 22 years. An analysis of the O-C diagram indicates the earlier observations took place right in the middle of a major period change, thus allowing for a unique study on mass transfer and period changes in this W UMa-type system. We compute model fits to our light curves, along with the only other published set, using the Wilson-Devinney program, and find temporally correlated changes in the size of the secondary component with anomalies in the O-C diagram. We investigate the cause of these changes and find support for the existence of rapid, large-scale mass transfer between the components. We postulate that this interaction allows them to maintain nearly equal surface temperatures despite having achieved only marginal contact. We also find support for the evolutionary scenario in which TU Boo has undergone a mass ratio reversal in the past due to large-scale mass transfer so that what is presently the secondary component of TU Boo is in an advanced evolutionary state, oversized due to a helium-enriched core, with a total system age of $\geq$ 10 Gyr.
