摘要:

在过去的三个5.5年周期中,对海山二的周期性事件进行了广泛的监测。最近一次发生在2009年1月,在不同的波长范围内进行了更详尽的观测。如果这些事件是在双星接近近星点时产生的,则测光特征的定时和采样可以提供有关系统几何和物理的更多信息。因此,我们继续进行2003年开始的地面光学光度测量活动,详细记录2009.0事件的行为。这一次的观测计划包括一个新的望远镜,以获得其他测光带的信息。日常监测包括通过标准的UBVRI滤光片和窄的Halpha通带获取CCD图像。随后的差示测光包括了该天体的中心区域和整个侏儒星云。我们的相对UBVRIHalpha测光,从2008年11月到2009年3月底进行的结果,在这项工作中,其中包括事件的整体。初始的上升支、最大值、下降到最小值和恢复上升阶段强烈地类似于一种食。所有这些特征都准时发生-根据预测-尽管与前一次事件相比有一些光度差异。我们使用现在和以前的“日食”事件数据重新确定了2022.8天的周期值。这些结果强烈支持埃塔汽车的二元性假设。在本文中,完整的数据集与测光的2009.0事件提供,使其随时可供进一步分析。

英文摘要:

The periodic events occurring in Eta Carinae have been widely monitored during the last three 5.5-year cycles. The last one recently occurred in January 2009 and more exhaustive observations have been made at different wavelength ranges. If these events are produced when the binary components approach periastron, the timing and sampling of the photometric features can provide more information about the geometry and physics of the system. Thus, we continued with our ground-based optical photometric campaign started in 2003 to record the behaviour of the 2009.0 event in detail. This time the observation program included a new telescope to obtain information from other photometric bands. The daily monitoring consists of the acquisition of CCD images through standard UBVRI filters and a narrow Halpha passband. The subsequent differential photometry includes the central region of the object and the whole Homunculus nebula. The results of our relative UBVRIHalpha photometry, performed from November 2008 up to the end of March 2009, are presented in this work, which comprises the totality of the event. The initial rising branch, the maximum, the dip to the minimum and the recovering rising phase strongly resemble a kind of eclipse. All these features happened on time - according to that predicted - although there are some photometric differences in comparison with the previous event. We made a new determination of 2022.8 days for the period value using the present and previous "eclipse-like" event data. These results strongly support the binarity hypothesis for Eta Car. In this paper, the complete dataset with the photometry of the 2009.0 event is provided to make it readily available for further analysis.
