开普勒探测到第三颗热白矮星伴星

A Third Hot White Dwarf Companion Detected by Kepler

Joshua A. Carter, Saul Rappaport, Daniel Fabrycky

摘要:

我们发现了一个列在开普勒双星表(3.273天周期; Prsa et al. 2010)中的系统,我们已经确定它是由一个低质量、热膨胀、热的白矮星组成的,它围绕一颗大约2.3太阳质量的A星运行。在这项工作中,我们指定的对象,KIC 10657664,简单地作为KHWD 3。我们使用~ 0.66%的过境深度,~ 1.9%的日食深度,以及轨道频率和两倍轨道频率的规则平滑周期变化来分析系统参数。平滑的周期性变化与经典的椭球光变化和照明效应,以及新利用的多普勒增强效应。在已知双星的R/a和倾角的情况下,ELV效应和DB效应对双星质量比q = M_2/M_1最敏感。这两种效应产生的q值有些不一致--可能是由于未被确认的系统效应--但仍然提供了一组关于白矮星质量的非常有用的可能性(0.18 +/- 0.03 M_Sun或0.37 +/- 0.08 M_Sun)。所有其他系统参数的确定相当稳健。特别是,我们表明,白矮星的半径为0.15 +/- 0.01 R_Sun,这是非常膨胀的半径,它将作为一个完全简并的对象,和有效温度T_eff = 14,100 +/- 350 K。二元演化方案和模型,该系统进行了讨论。我们认为,该双星系统的前身星是由质量约为2.2 M_Sun的主星(当前热白矮星的前身星)和质量约为1.4 M_Sun的伴星(当前A星的前身星)组成。我们比较了这个新系统与其他三个白矮星的双星,可能是通过稳定的罗奇叶溢出(KOI-74,KOI-81,轩辕十四)形成。

英文摘要:

We have found a system listed in the Kepler Binary Catalog (3.273 day period; Prsa et al. 2010) that we have determined is comprised of a low-mass, thermally-bloated, hot white dwarf orbiting an A star of about 2.3 solar masses. In this work we designate the object, KIC 10657664, simply as KHWD3. We use the transit depth of ~0.66%, the eclipse depth of ~1.9%, and regular smooth periodic variations at the orbital frequency and twice the orbital frequency to analyze the system parameters. The smooth periodic variations are identified with the classical ellipsoidal light variation and illumination effects, and the newly utilized Doppler boosting effect. Given the measured values of R/a and inclination angle of the binary, both the ELV and DB effects are mostly sensitive to the mass ratio, q = M_2/M_1, of the binary. The two effects yield values of q which are somewhat inconsistent - presumably due to unidentified systematic effects - but which nonetheless provide a quite useful set of possibilities for the mass of the white dwarf (either 0.18 +/- 0.03 M_Sun or 0.37 +/- 0.08 M_Sun). All of the other system parameters are determined fairly robustly. In particular, we show that the white dwarf has a radius of 0.15 +/- 0.01 R_Sun which is extremely bloated over the radius it would have as a fully degenerate object, and an effective temperature T_eff = 14,100 +/- 350 K. Binary evolution scenarios and models for this system are discussed. We suggest that the progenitor binary was comprised of a primary of mass ~2.2 M_Sun (the progenitor of the current hot white dwarf) and a secondary of mass ~1.4 M_Sun (the progenitor of the current A star in the system). We compare this new system with three other white dwarfs in binaries that likely were formed via stable Roche-lobe overflow (KOI-74, KOI-81, and Regulus).
