越暗越好:来自SDSS的激变变星

The fainter the better: cataclysmic variable stars from the SDSS

John Southworth, B T Gaensicke, T R Marsh

摘要:

斯隆数字巡天已经确定了总共212个灾难性的变量,其中大多数都比18等更暗。这是迄今为止最深入、最广泛的灾难性变量同质样本,我们正在开展一个项目来描述这一群体的特征。我们发现,SDSS样本中占主导地位的是一个伟大的“沉默的大多数”的旧的和微弱的简历。我们第一次发现,在80分钟的最短时间内,人口激增,这是十多年来理论研究预测的。

英文摘要:

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has identified a total of 212 cataclysmic variables, most of which are fainter than 18th magnitude. This is the deepest and most populous homogeneous sample of cataclysmic variables to date, and we are undertaking a project to characterise this population. We have found that the SDSS sample is dominated by a great ``silent majority'' of old and faint CVs. We detect, for the first time, a population spike at the minimum period of 80 minutes which has been predicted by theoretical studies for over a decade.
