摘要:

来自Palomar高精度天体测量搜索系外行星系统(PHASES)的差分天体测量测量被用来限制三元系统63 Gem A中先前已知的lesssim 2天子系统的天体测量轨道,并检测到先前未知的2年开普勒摆动叠加在更长周期(213年)的双星系统HR 2896的可见轨道上。由63 Gem A的内部对引起的非常小的天体测量扰动扩展了当前天体测量能力的极限,但PHASES观测能够限制轨道的方向。HR 2896长周期(213年)系统的两颗明亮恒星的光谱类型为K0 III,新发现的天体的质量估计将其置于M矮星的范围内。恒星的运动足够慢,以至于它们的光谱特征总是混合在一起,这阻碍了多普勒研究。相位测量和径向速度(如果有的话)与较低精度的单孔径测量相结合,覆盖了更长的时间范围,以改善这两个双星的长周期轨道的特性。给出了这两个系统的短周期和长周期系统的视轨道,并用于计算两个可能的内外轨道之间的相互倾斜值,63 Gem A为152 pm 12度或31 pm 11度,HR 2896为10.2 pm 2.4度或171.2 pm 2.8度。第一个不共面,而第二个几乎共面或反共面。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) Differential astrometry measurements from the Palomar High-precision Astrometric Search for Exoplanet Systems (PHASES) are used to constrain the astrometric orbit of the previously known lesssim 2 day subsystem in the triple system 63 Gem A and have detected a previously unknown 2 year Keplerian wobble superimposed on the visual orbit of the much longer period (213 years) binary system HR 2896. The very small astrometric perturbation caused by the inner pair in 63 Gem A stretches the limits of current astrometric capabilities, but PHASES observations are able to constrain the orientation of the orbit. The two bright stars comprising the HR 2896 long period (213 year) system have a combined spectral type of K0III and the newly detected object's mass estimate places it in the regime of being a M dwarf. The motion of the stars are slow enough that their spectral features are always blended, preventing Doppler studies. The PHASES measurements and radial velocities (when available) have been combined with lower precision single-aperture measurements covering a much longer timeframe to improve the characterization of the long period orbits in both binaries. The visual orbits of the short and long period systems are presented for both systems, and used to calculate two possible values of the mutual inclinations between inner and outer orbits of 152 pm 12 degrees or a less likely value of 31 pm 11 degrees for 63 Gem A and 10.2 pm 2.4 degrees or 171.2 pm 2.8 degrees for HR 2896. The first is not coplanar, whereas the second is either nearly coplanar or anti-coplanar.
