摘要:

我们报告的第一个结果,我们的计划,以获得多时代的径向速度测量的恒星具有较强的远紫外线过剩,以确定后共同包络双星(PCEBs)。已确定的目标使用光学光度法从SDSS DR 4,紫外光度法从GALEX GR 2和自行信息从SDSS DR 5。我们获得了36个目标的两个或多个历元的光谱。我们的三个目标在几小时或几天的时间尺度上显示出大的径向速度变化(> 50公里/秒),几乎可以肯定是PCEB。对于其中一个目标(SDSS J104234.77+644205.4),我们已经获得了进一步的光谱,以确认这是一个轨道周期为4.74小时,半振幅K =165 km/s的PCEB。两个目标是快速旋转的K-矮星,似乎表现出小的径向速度变化,并有很强的钙II H+K发射线。这些可能是风致快速旋转(WIRRing)星。这些结果表明,我们可以使用GALEX和SDSS测光来识别单独使用SDSS测光无法识别的PCEB,并识别新的WIRRing恒星。一个更全面的调查,使用本文开发的方法确定的恒星将导致一个更好的了解共同的信封演变。

英文摘要:

We report the first results of our programme to obtain multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars with a strong far-UV excess to identify post common-envelope binaries (PCEBs). The targets have been identified using optical photometry from SDSS DR4, ultraviolet photometry from GALEX GR2 and proper motion information from SDSS DR5. We have obtained spectra at two or more epochs for 36 targets. Three of our targets show large radial velocity shifts (>50km/s) on a timescale of hours or days and are almost certainly PCEBs. For one of these targets (SDSS J104234.77+644205.4) we have obtained further spectroscopy to confirm that this is a PCEB with an orbital period of 4.74h and semi-amplitude K =165 km/s. Two targets are rapidly rotating K-dwarfs which appear to show small radial velocity shifts and have strong Ca II H+K emission lines. These may be wind-induced rapidly rotating (WIRRing) stars. These results show that we can use GALEX and SDSS photometry to identify PCEBs that cannot be identified using SDSS photometry alone, and to identify new WIRRing stars. A more comprehensive survey of stars identified using the methods developed in this paper will lead to a much improved understanding of common envelope evolution.
