摘要:

我们报告广泛的光谱和差分光度BVRI观测的活动,分离,1.309天双线食二进制IM Vir,由一个G7型的主要和K7中学。通过这些观测,我们得到了主星和副星的精确绝对质量和半径:M(1)= 0.981 +/- 0.012 M(太阳),M(2)= 0.6644 +/- 0.0048 M(太阳),R(1)= 1.061 +/- 0.016 R(太阳),R(2)= 0.681 +/- 0.013 R(太阳),相对误差小于2%。有效温度为5570 ± 100 K和4250 ± 130 K。质量上的显著差异使这一理论成为与恒星演化理论进行比较的有利条件。我们发现这两颗恒星都比模型预测的大,主星大3.7%,主星大7.5%,主星大7.5%,温度比预期的低,分别为100 K和150 K。这些差异与先前报道的低质量恒星的差异一致,并且被认为是由色球活动引起的,而目前的模型没有考虑到这一点。这种效应并不局限于低质量恒星:IM Vir的快速旋转的主星加入了越来越多的近太阳质量的物体(但仍然具有对流包层),这些物体显示出类似的异常。与模型的比较表明,该系统的年龄为2.4 Gyr,金属丰度[Fe/H]约为-0.3,与其他迹象一致,但需要确认。

英文摘要:

We report extensive spectroscopic and differential photometric BVRI observations of the active, detached, 1.309-day double-lined eclipsing binary IM Vir, composed of a G7-type primary and a K7 secondary. With these observations we derive accurate absolute masses and radii of M(1) = 0.981 +/- 0.012 M(Sun), M(2) = 0.6644 +/- 0.0048 M(Sun), R(1) = 1.061 +/- 0.016 R(Sun), and R(2) = 0.681 +/- 0.013 R(Sun) for the primary and secondary, with relative errors under 2%. The effective temperatures are 5570 +/- 100 K and 4250 +/- 130 K. The significant difference in mass makes this a favorable case for comparison with stellar evolution theory. We find that both stars are larger than the models predict, by 3.7% for the primary and 7.5% for the secondary, as well as cooler than expected, by 100 K and 150 K, respectively. These discrepancies are in line with previously reported differences in low-mass stars, and are believed to be caused by chromospheric activity, which is not accounted for in current models. The effect is not confined to low-mass stars: the rapidly-rotating primary of IM Vir joins the growing list of objects of near-solar mass (but still with convective envelopes) that show similar anomalies. The comparison with the models suggests an age of 2.4 Gyr for the system, and a metallicity [Fe/H] of approximately -0.3 that is consistent with other indications, but requires confirmation.
