Observations and Models of Eclipsing Binary Systems: RT And, TU Boo, KV Gem, UU Lyn, MY Cyg, KR Per, RU Eri, and YY Cet

摘要:

双星系统构成了天文学的基本基础,因为它们是确定基本恒星天体物理量(如质量、半径和温度)的主要手段。此外,它们使我们能够研究内部发电机和由此产生的恒星磁周期,我们通常只能研究一颗恒星,我们的太阳。系统本身是非常有趣的对象,由众多的配置组成,这些配置通过复杂的进化历史联系在一起。最后,它们使我们能够检验恒星结构理论,甚至广义相对论。因此,这些系统的准确观测和建模是非常重要的领域。本论文的前三章致力于向具有一般科学背景但没有天文学知识的读者介绍食双星和一般领域,并为读者提供足够的背景知识来理解论文的其余部分。随后的八章分别致力于分析八个独立的系统,(RT And,TU Boo,KV Gem,UU Lyn,MY Cyg,KR Per,RU Eri和YY Cet),每章的安排与期刊文章中通常会发现的一样。收集到的数据,模型和推导出的参数,为每个系统的背景下,以前的研究结果和整个论文中看到的一般趋势进行了分析。提出了一个形成A型和W型W Uma系统的演化方案,其中两种类型的近接触系统作为前驱体和中间体。

英文摘要:

Eclipsing binary systems form the fundamental basis of Astronomy in the sense that they are the primary means to determine fundamental stellar astrophysical quantities such as mass, radius, and temperature. Furthermore, they allow us to study the internal dynamos and resulting magnetic cycles of stars that we would normally only be able to study for one star, our Sun. The systems themselves are extremely interesting objects, consisting of a multitude of configurations that are tied together by a complex evolutionary history. Finally, they allow us to test theories of stellar structure and even General Relativity. Thus the accurate observation and modeling of these systems is of great importance to the field. The first three chapters of this thesis are devoted to acquainting a reader with a general science background, but no knowledge of Astronomy, to eclipsing binaries and the field in general, and should provide the reader with an adequate background to understand the rest of the thesis. The subsequent eight chapters are each devoted to the analysis of eight separate systems, (RT And, TU Boo, KV Gem, UU Lyn, MY Cyg, KR Per, RU Eri, and YY Cet), with each chapter arranged as would be generally found in a journal article. The collected data, models, and derived parameters for each system are analyzed in context to previous findings and general trends seen throughout the thesis. An evolutionary scenario for the formation of A and W type W Uma systems, with two types of near-contact systems as precursors and intermediates, is proposed.
