12颗激变变星的视差和距离估计

Parallax and Distance Estimates for Twelve Cataclysmic Variable Stars

J. R. Thorstensen, S. Lepine, M. Shara

摘要:

我们报告视差和距离估计的12个以上的激变双星和相关的对象观察到的2.4米Hiltner望远镜在MDM天文台。最终视差精度通常为约1 mas。对于12个物体中只有一个,IR Gem,我们没有检测到明显的视差。值得注意的结果包括V396 Hya(CE 315)的距离,这是一个具有相对较长轨道周期的氦双简并系统,以及MQ Dra(SDSSJ 155331 +551615),这是一个吸积率非常低的磁性系统。我们发现,Z凸轮星KT英仙座是物理配对的K主序星躺在15角秒以外。在文献中,有几个目标的距离估计是基于白矮星的有效温度和通量;我们的测量广泛地证实了这些估计,但倾向于把恒星放得更近一点,这表明白矮星的质量可能比假设的要大。作为旁注,我们简要描述了径向速度光谱,它将V396 Hya的轨道周期精确到65.07 ± 0.08分钟。

英文摘要:

We report parallax and distance estimates for twelve more cataclysmic binaries and related objects observed with the 2.4m Hiltner telescope at MDM Observatory. The final parallax accuracy is typically about 1 mas. For only one of the twelve objects, IR Gem, do we fail to detect a significant parallax. Notable results include distances for V396 Hya (CE 315), a helium double degenerate with a relatively long orbital period, and for MQ Dra (SDSSJ155331+551615), a magnetic system with a very low accretion rate. We find that the Z Cam star KT Persei is physically paired with a K main-sequence star lying 15 arcsec away. Several of the targets have distance estimates in the literature that are based on the white dwarf's effective temperature and flux; our measurements broadly corroborate these estimates, but tend to put the stars a bit closer, indicating that the white dwarfs may have rather larger masses than assumed. As a side note, we briefly describe radial velocity spectroscopy that refines the orbital period of V396 Hya to 65.07 +- 0.08 min.
