摘要:

我们根据马萨诸塞州哈佛大学橡树岭天文台的径向速度测量和威尔逊山CHARA阵列的干涉能见度测量,给出了双线分光双星北冕座σ^2的最新分光轨道和新的可见轨道。σ^2 CrB由两颗质量大致相等的类太阳恒星组成,它们在一个周期为1.14天的圆形轨道上运行。CHARA阵列的长基线使我们能够解析这对双星的可见轨道,这是迄今为止通过干涉测量解析的最短周期的双星,使我们能够确定1.137 \pm 0.037 M_sun和1.090 \pm 0.036 M_sun的组件质量。我们还估计了MV(初级)= 4.35 \pm 0.02和MV(次级)= 4.74 \pm 0.02的绝对V波段幅度。与恒星演化模型的比较表明,相对年轻的年龄为1-3 Gyr,与以前测量的高Li丰度一致。这对双星是一个五双星系统的中心组成部分,另外还有另一颗类似质量的恒星σ^1 CrB,在一个大约730年的目视轨道上,以及一颗遥远的M矮星双星σCrB C,在一个大约10弧分的投影距离上。我们还提出了微分自行证据,表明华盛顿双星表中为该系统列出的组件C & D(ADS 9979 C & D)是光学排列,不受σCrB系统的引力约束。

英文摘要:

We present an updated spectroscopic orbit and a new visual orbit for the double-lined spectroscopic binary σ^2 Coronae Borealis based on radial velocity measurements at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Massachusetts and interferometric visibility measurements at the CHARA Array on Mount Wilson. σ^2 CrB is composed of two Sun-like stars of roughly equal mass in a circularized orbit with a period of 1.14 days. The long baselines of the CHARA Array have allowed us to resolve the visual orbit for this pair, the shortest period binary yet resolved interferometrically, enabling us to determine component masses of 1.137 \pm 0.037 M_sun and 1.090 \pm 0.036 M_sun. We have also estimated absolute V-band magnitudes of MV (primary) = 4.35 \pm 0.02 and MV(secondary) = 4.74 \pm 0.02. A comparison with stellar evolution models indicates a relatively young age of 1-3 Gyr, consistent with the high Li abundance measured previously. This pair is the central component of a quintuple system, along with another similar-mass star, σ^1 CrB, in a ~ 730-year visual orbit, and a distant M-dwarf binary, σCrB C, at a projected separation of ~ 10 arcmin. We also present differential proper motion evidence to show that components C & D (ADS 9979C & D) listed for this system in the Washington Double Star Catalog are optical alignments that are not gravitationally bound to the σCrB system.
