透视加速度和引力红移。用Gaia + SIM天体测量测量单个白矮星的质量

Perspective acceleration and gravitational redshift. Measuring masses of individual white dwarfs using Gaia + SIM astrometry

G. Anglada-Escude, J. H. Debes

摘要:

根据目前的计划,SIM/NASA飞行任务将在盖亚/欧空局飞行任务结束后立即发射。这是一种新的情况,使长期的天体测量项目,不能单独完成任何一个任务。利用天体测量中的透视加速度效应,如果天体测量的时间基线足够长,就可以非常精确地测量出附近恒星的真实日心径向速度。由于白矮星是紧凑的天体,引力红移可以相当大(40-80 km/s),并且是任何波长偏移的主要来源。因此,真正的径向速度与光谱位移的不匹配导致直接测量这些物体的质量-半径关系。利用已知的附近白矮星的星表信息,我们估计有多少质量/引力红移测量可以获得精度优于2%。附近的白矮星是相对较暗的天体(10 < V < 15),这两个任务都可以很容易地观测到。我们还简要地讨论了长周期行星的存在如何掩盖天体测量信号的透视加速度。

英文摘要:

According to current plans, the SIM/NASA mission will be launched just after the end of operations for the Gaia/ESA mission. This is a new situation which enables long term astrometric projects that could not be achieved by either mission alone. Using the well-known perspective acceleration effect on astrometric measurements, the true heliocentric radial velocity of a nearby star can be measured with great precision if the time baseline of the astrometric measurements is long enough. Since white dwarfs are compact objects, the gravitational redshift can be quite large (40-80 km/s), and is the predominant source of any shift in wavelength. The mismatch of the true radial velocity with the spectroscopic shift thus leads to a direct measure of the Mass--Radius relation for such objects. Using available catalog information about the known nearby white dwarfs, we estimate how many masses/gravitational redshift measurements can be obtained with an accuracy better than 2%. Nearby white dwarfs are relatively faint objects (10 < V < 15), which can be easily observed by both missions. We also briefly discuss how the presence of a long period planet can mask the astrometric signal of perspective acceleration.
