摘要:

OGLE-III变星星表(OIII-CVS)的第八部分包含小麦哲伦云(SMC)中的II型造父变星。样本由43个天体组成,包括17颗BL Her,17颗W Vir和9颗RV Tau星(在SMC中发现的第一个例子)。七颗恒星被归类为特殊的W Vir星-最近发现的II型造父变星的一个子类。这些恒星有独特的光变曲线,比普通的W Vir变星更亮更蓝。我们确认,一个特殊的W Vir星的大部分是二元系统的成员。三个II型造父变星表现出重叠在脉动光变曲线上的食变,另外三个天体表现出长周期椭球变率。所有具有双星性的恒星都显示次级周期,这可以解释为脉动光变曲线的振幅和/或相位调制,其周期等于轨道周期或轨道周期的一半。我们没有任何模型来描述这些调制,但是这种现象排除了脉动恒星和双星系统光学混合的可能性。天文学界可从OGLE因特网档案馆获得每一个天体在8年或13年的观测中收集的多历元V波段和I波段光度测定和发现图表。

英文摘要:

The eighth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars (OIII-CVS) contains type II Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The sample consists of 43 objects, including 17 BL Her, 17 W Vir and 9 RV Tau stars (first examples ever found in the SMC). Seven stars have been classified as peculiar W Vir stars - a recently identified subclass of type II Cepheids. These stars have distinctive light curves, are brighter and bluer than the ordinary W Vir variables. We confirm that a large fraction of the peculiar W Vir stars are members of binary systems. Three type II Cepheids exhibit eclipsing variations superimposed on the pulsation light curves, and three other objects show long-period ellipsoidal variability. All stars with the indication of binarity display secondary periods which may be interpreted as amplitude and/or phase modulations of the pulsation light curves with periods equal to the orbital periods or half the orbital periods. We do not have any model for these modulations, however this phenomenon rules out a possibility of the optical blends of a pulsating star and a binary system. For each object the multi-epoch V- and I-band photometry collected over 8 or 13 years of observations and finding charts are available to the astronomical community from the OGLE Internet archive.
