摘要:

我们报告的光度行为的分析DI UMa,一个非常活跃的矮新星。观测活动(于2007年完成)涵盖了五次超级爆发和四次正常爆发。我们检查了系统的主要参数,以了解DI UMa和其他活跃的灾难性变量的特性。基于精确的光度测量、时间光变曲线行为、O-C分析和功率谱分析,我们研究了系统的物理参数。我们发现超级周期的周期现在等于31.45 +/-0.3天。在超爆发期间的观测推断超峰的周期为Psh = 0.055318(11)天(79.66 ± 0.02分钟)。在静止期,光变曲线显示出周期P_orb = 0.054579(6)天(78.59 +/- 0.01分钟)的调制,我们将其解释为双星系统的轨道周期。获得的值使我们能够确定1.35% +/-0.02%的分数周期超出,这是令人惊讶的小相比,矮新星的通常值(2%-5%)。详细的O-C分析进行了最全面的覆盖面的两个超级爆发。在这两种情况下,我们都检测到超级峰周期的增加,平均速率为dot_P/P_sh = 4.4(1.0)*10^{-5}。基于这些测量,我们确认DI Uma可能是一个周期弹跳者,一个很久以前达到其周期最小值的旧系统,有一个成为简并棕矮星的次级系统,整个系统现在朝着更长的周期发展。DI Uma是一个非常有趣的对象,因为我们只知道一个更活跃的ER Uma星具有类似的特征(IX Dra)。

英文摘要:

We report an analysis of photometric behaviour of DI UMa, an extremely active dwarf nova. The observational campaign (completed in 2007) covers five superoutbursts and four normal outbursts. We examined principal parameters of the system to understand peculiarities of DI UMa, and other active cataclysmic variables. Based on precise photometric measurements, temporal light curve behaviour, O-C analysis, and power spectrum analysis, we investigated physical parameters of the system. We found that the period of the supercycle now equals 31.45 +/-0.3 days. Observations during superoutbursts infer that the period of superhumps equals P_sh = 0.055318(11) days (79.66 +/- 0.02 min). During quiescence, the light curve reveals a modulation of period P_orb = 0.054579(6) days (78.59 +/- 0.01 min), which we interpret as the orbital period of the binary system. The values obtained allowed us to determine a fractional period excess of 1.35% +/- 0.02%, which is surprisingly small compared to the usual value for dwarf novae (2%-5%). A detailed O-C analysis was performed for two superoutbursts with the most comprehensive coverage. In both cases, we detected an increase in the superhump period with a mean rate of dot_P/P_sh = 4.4(1.0)*10^{-5}. Based on these measurements, we confirm that DI UMa is probably a period bouncer, an old system that reached its period minimum a long time ago, has a secondary that became a degenerate brown dwarf, the entire system evolving now toward longer periods. DI UMa is an extremely interesting object because we know only one more active ER UMa star with similar characteristics (IX Dra).
