正常星的精确质量和半径:现代结果和应用

Accurate masses and radii of normal stars: modern results and applications

G. Torres, J. Andersen, A. Gimenez

摘要:

本文提出并讨论了一个关键的汇编准确,基本的恒星质量和半径的测定。我们已经确定了95个分离的双星系统,包含190颗恒星(94个日食系统和半人马座α星),满足我们的标准,即两颗恒星的质量和半径都知道3%或更好。这些我们添加星际红化,有效温度,金属丰度,旋转速度和拱点运动的测定时,我们计算了一些其他的物理参数,特别是光度和距离。我们讨论了使用这些信息的测试模型的恒星演化。数据的数量和质量也使我们能够相当深入地分析系统的潮汐演变,比以前更详细地测试旋转同步和轨道圆化的处方。新的数据还使我们能够获得经验校准的M和R的单(后)主序星以上0.6 M(太阳)。简单的多项式函数T(eff),log g和[Fe/H]产生M和R,误差分别为6%和3%。极好的协议被发现与独立的测定凌日系外行星的宿主恒星,和良好的协议与确定的M和R从恒星模型的三角函数和光谱值的T(eff)和[Fe/H]的约束。最后,我们列出了一组23个干涉测量双星,已知质量优于3%,但没有基本半径的测定(除了α Aur)。我们讨论了在不久的将来改善这些和其他恒星参数的前景。

英文摘要:

This paper presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fundamental determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems containing 190 stars (94 eclipsing systems, and alpha Centauri) that satisfy our criterion that the mass and radius of both stars be known to 3% or better. To these we add interstellar reddening, effective temperature, metal abundance, rotational velocity and apsidal motion determinations when available, and we compute a number of other physical parameters, notably luminosity and distance. We discuss the use of this information for testing models of stellar evolution. The amount and quality of the data also allow us to analyse the tidal evolution of the systems in considerable depth, testing prescriptions of rotational synchronisation and orbital circularisation in greater detail than possible before. The new data also enable us to derive empirical calibrations of M and R for single (post-) main-sequence stars above 0.6 M(Sun). Simple, polynomial functions of T(eff), log g and [Fe/H] yield M and R with errors of 6% and 3%, respectively. Excellent agreement is found with independent determinations for host stars of transiting extrasolar planets, and good agreement with determinations of M and R from stellar models as constrained by trigonometric parallaxes and spectroscopic values of T(eff) and [Fe/H]. Finally, we list a set of 23 interferometric binaries with masses known to better than 3%, but without fundamental radius determinations (except alpha Aur). We discuss the prospects for improving these and other stellar parameters in the near future.
