年轻双星褐矮星候选者ChaHa8的改进径向速度轨道

Improved radial velocity orbit of the young binary brown dwarf candidate ChaHa8

V. Joergens, A. Mueller, S. Reffert

摘要:

最近通过径向速度监测发现了非常年轻的棕矮星候选者ChaHa 8有一个近距离(~1AU)的伴星。我们提出了2007年至2010年期间UVES/VLT获得的额外径向速度数据,这些数据显着改善了系统的轨道。综合数据集涵盖了察哈尔8号10年的径向速度监测。开普勒拟合数据得出的轨道周期为5.2年,偏心率为0.59,径向速度半振幅为2.4 km/s。当使用模型相关的质量估计分别为0.07和0.10 Msun时,得出了25 Mjup和31 Mjup的伴星质量M2 sini(由于轨道倾角未知,这是一个下限)。假设轨道在空间中随机取向,我们发现察哈8的伴星有很高的可能性是亚恒星性质:有超过87%的可能性,伴星的质量在30到69兆焦耳之间,质量比< 0.7。在交叉关联函数中没有任何伴星的证据,以及径向速度振幅的大小也表明质量比至多为0.7,并且可能更小。此外,新的数据排除了伴星具有行星质量(<13 Mjup)的可能性。我们发现,同伴的贡献显着的系统的总光度:模型相关的估计提供了一个最小的光度比L2/L1为0.2。ChaHa 8是第四颗已知的光谱棕矮星或具有确定轨道参数的极低质量恒星双星,也是第二颗已知的非常年轻的恒星。它的年龄只有~ 300万年,对于非常低质量的形成和演化理论特别感兴趣。与大多数其他分光双星不同,它有一个相对较长的周期,可能可以确定主星的天体测量轨道,从而确定轨道倾角。

英文摘要:

The very young brown dwarf candidate ChaHa8 was recently discovered to have a close (~1AU) companion by means of radial velocity monitoring. We present additional radial velocity data obtained with UVES/VLT between 2007 and 2010, which significantly improve the orbit of the system. The combined data set spans ten years of radial velocity monitoring for ChaHa8. A Kepler fit to the data yields an orbital period of 5.2 yrs, an eccentricity of 0.59, and a radial velocity semi-amplitude of 2.4 km/s. A companion mass M2sini (which is a lower limit due to the unknown orbital inclination) of 25 Mjup and of 31 Mjup is derived when using model-dependent mass estimates for the primary of 0.07 and 0.10 Msun, resp. Assuming random orientation of orbits in space, we find a very high probability that the companion of Chaha8 is of substellar nature: With a greater than 87% probability, the companion mass is between 30 and 69 Mjup and the mass ratio < 0.7. The absence of any evidence of the companion in the cross-correlation function together with the size of the radial velocity amplitude also indicate a mass ratio of at most 0.7, and likely smaller. Furthermore, the new data exclude the possibility that the companion has a mass in the planetary regime (<13 Mjup). We show that the companion contributes significantly to the total luminosity of the system: model-dependent estimates provide a minimum luminosity ratio L2/L1 of 0.2. ChaHa8 is the 4th known spectroscopic brown dwarf or very low-mass stellar binary with determined orbital parameters, and the 2nd known very young one. With an age of only ~3 Myr it is of particular interest to very low-mass formation and evolution theories. In contrast to most other spectroscopic binaries, it has a relatively long period and it might be possible to determine the astrometric orbit of the primary and, thus, the orbital inclination.
