新的甚宽晕双星的带状搜索

A Strip Search for New Very Wide Halo Binaries

D. P. Quinn, M. C. Smith

摘要:

我们在SDSS Stripe 82中寻找新的宽晕双星。提供了一个满足常见自行和光度约束的新晕宽二进制候选人的列表。样品的预测分离度在0.007-0.25pc之间。虽然样本是不够大,以改善对暗物质在晕的约束,我们发现广泛的二进制角分离函数与过去的工作大致一致。我们讨论了一些天体物理学应用,包括作为一个试验平台的想法宽的二元形成的新样本的意义。对于具有径向速度信息的候选者的子集,我们利用运动积分来研究这样一个方案,其中银河系宽双星的起源与银河系中恒星系统的吸积/破裂有关。对这些候选双星的进一步光谱观测将加强它们在许多方面的实用性。根据我们在Stripe 82中的搜索经验,我们估计即将到来的Pan-STARRS调查将使宽晕双星的样本量增加一个数量级以上。

英文摘要:

We report on a search for new wide halo binary stars in SDSS Stripe 82. A list of new halo wide binary candidates which satisfy common proper motion and photometric constraints is provided. The projected separations of the sample lie between 0.007-0.25pc. Although the sample is not large enough to improve constraints on dark matter in the halo, we find the wide binary angular separation function is broadly consistent with past work. We discuss the significance of the new sample for a number of astrophysical applications, including as a testbed for ideas about wide binary formation. For the subset of candidates which have radial velocity information we make use of integrals of motion to investigate one such scheme in which the origin of Galactic wide binaries is associated with the accretion/disruption of stellar systems in the Galaxy. Additional spectroscopic observations of these candidate binaries will strengthen their usefulness in many of these respects. Based on our search experience in Stripe 82 we estimate that the upcoming Pan-STARRS survey will increase the sample size of wide halo binaries by over an order of magnitude.
