摘要:

附近的大质量双星系统Theta 1 Orionis C是猎户座星云团核心最明亮和质量最大的梯形OB星,它代表了一个完美的实验室来确定年轻热星的基本参数和限制猎户座梯形星团的距离。在2007年1月至2008年3月期间,我们使用VLTI/AMBER近红外(H和K波段)长基线干涉测量法以及ESO 3.6 m和BTA 6 m望远镜(B '和V'波段)的双谱散斑干涉测量法观测了T1 OriC。结合三种不同的3望远镜阵列配置的AMBER数据,我们重建了第一个VLTI/AMBER闭合相位孔径合成图像,显示了T1 OriC系统的分辨率约为1000。2 mas。为了从光谱分散的AMBER数据中提取天体测量数据,我们采用了一种新的算法,该算法适合沿H和K波段的波长差分可见度和闭合相位调制,并且对例如通过改变大气条件引起的校准误差不敏感。我们新的天体测量表明,自1997年发现以来,这颗伴星几乎完成了一次轨道旋转。推导出的轨道要素意味着一个短周期(P=11.3 yrs)和高偏心率(e=0.6)的轨道与近星点通过2002.6左右。新的轨道是一致的,最近公布的径向速度测量,从中我们也可以得出的第一个直接约束的质量比的二进制组件。我们采用各种方法推导出系统质量(M_system=44+/-7 M_sun)和动力学距离(d=410+/-20 pc),这与最近发表的射电干涉测量三角视差测量结果非常吻合。

英文摘要:

The nearby high-mass star binary system Theta 1 Orionis C is the brightest and most massive of the Trapezium OB stars at the core of the Orion Nebula Cluster, and it represents a perfect laboratory to determine the fundamental parameters of young hot stars and to constrain the distance of the Orion Trapezium Cluster. Between January 2007 and March 2008, we observed T1OriC with VLTI/AMBER near-infrared (H- and K-band) long-baseline interferometry, as well as with bispectrum speckle interferometry with the ESO 3.6m and the BTA 6m telescopes (B'- and V'-band). Combining AMBER data taken with three different 3-telescope array configurations, we reconstructed the first VLTI/AMBER closure-phase aperture synthesis image, showing the T1OriC system with a resolution of approx. 2 mas. To extract the astrometric data from our spectrally dispersed AMBER data, we employed a new algorithm, which fits the wavelength-differential visibility and closure phase modulations along the H- and K-band and is insensitive to calibration errors induced, for instance, by changing atmospheric conditions. Our new astrometric measurements show that the companion has nearly completed one orbital revolution since its discovery in 1997. The derived orbital elements imply a short-period (P=11.3 yrs) and high-eccentricity orbit (e=0.6) with periastron passage around 2002.6. The new orbit is consistent with recently published radial velocity measurements, from which we can also derive the first direct constraints on the mass ratio of the binary components. We employ various methods to derive the system mass (M_system=44+/-7 M_sun) and the dynamical distance (d=410+/-20 pc), which is in remarkably good agreement with recently published trigonometric parallax measurements obtained with radio interferometry.
