摘要:

我们推导出精确的系统参数的前激变二进制,NN Ser。从光曲线拟合,我们发现一个轨道倾角为i = 89.6 +/- 0.2度。从HeII吸收线我们发现K_{WD} = 62.3 +/- 1.9 km/s。从次级恒星表面的辐射诱导发射线给出了一系列观测到的径向速度。经修正的值给出径向速度K_{sec} = 301 +/- 3 km/s,误差主要由模型的系统效应决定。这导致a = 0.934 +/- 0.009 R_{sun}的二元分离,R_{WD}的半径= 0.0211 +/- 0.0002 R_{sun}和R_{sec} = 0.149 +/-0.002@002 R_{sun}和M_{WD}质量= 0.535 +/- 0.012 M_{sun} ABMS和M_{sec} = 0.111 +/- 0.004 M_{sun}。NN Ser的两个组分的质量和半径独立于任何质量-半径关系进行测量。对于白矮星,测量的质量、半径和温度与质量分数M_{H} /{M}_{WD} = 10^{-4}的“厚”氢层非常吻合。测量的副恒星半径比模型预测的大10%,然而,辐射校正占了大部分的不一致,因此NN Ser中的副恒星是第一个精确测量的非常低质量的物体之一,与模型表现出良好的一致性。在主食期间拍摄的ULTRACAM r ',i'和z'测光确定了副恒星的颜色为(r'-i ')_{sec}= 1.4 +/- 0.1和(i'-z ')_{sec} = 0.8 +/- 0.1,对应于光谱类型M4 +/- 0.5。这与导出的质量一致,表明没有可检测到的未照射面的加热,尽管从白矮星截取的辐射能量超过其自身亮度的20倍以上。

英文摘要:

We derive precise system parameters for the pre-cataclysmic binary, NN Ser. From light curve fitting we find an orbital inclination of i = 89.6 +/- 0.2 deg. From the HeII absorption line we find K_{WD}= 62.3 +/- 1.9 km/s. The irradiation-induced emission lines from the surface of the secondary star give a range of observed radial velocities. The corrected values give a radial velocity of K_{sec}= 301 +/- 3 km/s, with an error dominated by the systematic effects of the model. This leads to a binary separation of a = 0.934 +/- 0.009 R_{sun}, radii of R_{WD} = 0.0211 +/- 0.0002 R_{sun} and R_{sec} = 0.149 +/- 0.002 R_{sun} and masses of M_{WD} = 0.535 +/- 0.012 M_{sun} and M_{sec} = 0.111 +/- 0.004 M_{sun}. The masses and radii of both components of NN Ser were measured independently of any mass-radius relation. For the white dwarf, the measured mass, radius and temperature show excellent agreement with a `thick' hydrogen layer of fractional mass M_{H}/{M}_{WD} = 10^{-4}. The measured radius of the secondary star is 10% larger than predicted by models, however, correcting for irradiation accounts for most of this inconsistency, hence the secondary star in NN Ser is one of the first precisely measured very low mass objects to show good agreement with models. ULTRACAM r', i' and z' photometry taken during the primary eclipse determines the colours of the secondary star as (r'-i')_{sec}= 1.4 +/- 0.1 and (i'-z')_{sec} = 0.8 +/- 0.1 which corresponds to a spectral type of M4 +/- 0.5. This is consistent with the derived mass, demonstrating that there is no detectable heating of the unirradiated face, despite intercepting radiative energy from the white dwarf which exceeds its own luminosity by over a factor of 20.
