摘要:

我们提出了一种技术来确定食偏心沃尔夫-拉叶+O-星双星的轨道和物理参数,其中一个日食是由O-星光的吸收的W-R星的恒星风产生的。我们的方法是基于使用的经验矩的光变曲线,从观察到的光变曲线的积分变换评估。沿视线的光学深度和边缘变暗的W-R星的建模由简单的数学函数,我们推导出的光变曲线的时刻作为轨道参数的函数和关键参数的透明度和边缘变暗功能的解析表达式。这些解析表达式,然后倒置,以获得的值的轨道倾角,恒星半径,分数光度,风的透明度和临边昏暗的法律和参数。该方法适用于SMC W-R食双星HD 5980,一个显着的对象,经历了LBV的事件在1994年8月。分析参考了突出前的观测资料。基于系统导出的元素的合成光变曲线可以对所获得的结果进行质量评估。

英文摘要:

We present a technique to determine the orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing eccentric Wolf-Rayet + O-star binaries, where one eclipse is produced by the absorption of the O-star light by the stellar wind of the W-R star. Our method is based on the use of the empirical moments of the light curve that are integral transforms evaluated from the observed light curves. The optical depth along the line of sight and the limb darkening of the W-R star are modelled by simple mathematical functions, and we derive analytical expressions for the moments of the light curve as a function of the orbital parameters and the key parameters of the transparency and limb-darkening functions. These analytical expressions are then inverted in order to derive the values of the orbital inclination, the stellar radii, the fractional luminosities, and the parameters of the wind transparency and limb-darkening laws. The method is applied to the SMC W-R eclipsing binary HD 5980, a remarkable object that underwent an LBV-like event in August 1994. The analysis refers to the pre-outburst observational data. A synthetic light curve based on the elements derived for the system allows a quality assessment of the results obtained.
