A series of 353 red electronic spectra obtained between 1994 and 2010, and of 171 UBV photometric observations of the 2010 eclipse, were analyzed in an effort to better understand the eclipsing binary eps Aur. The main results follow. (1) We attempted to recover a spectrum of the companion by disentangling the observed spectra of the eps Aur binary failed, but we were able to disentangle the spectrum of telluric lines and obtain a mean spectrum of the F-type primary star. The latter was then compared to a grid of synthetic spectra for a number of plausible values of T(eff) and log(g), but a reasonably good match was not found. However, we conclude that the observed spectrum is that of a low-gravity star. (2) We examined changes in the complex H-alpha line profiles over the past 16 years, with particular emphasis on the 2009-2011 eclipse period, by subtracting a mean out-of-eclipse H-alpha profile (appropriately shifted in radial velocity) from the observed spectra. We find that the dark disk around the unseen companion has an extended 'atmosphere' that manifests itself via blueshifted and redshifted H-alpha 'shell' absorptions seen projected against the F star. Significantly, the H-alpha shell line first appeared three years before first contact of the optical eclipse when the system was not far past maximum separation. (3) Analyses of radial velocities and central intensities of several strong, unblended spectral lines, as well as UBV photometry, demonstrated that these observables showed apparent multiperiodic variability during eclipse. The dominant period of 66.21 was common to all the observables, but with different phase shifts between these variables. This result strongly supports our earlier suggestion that the photometric variability seen during eclipse is intrinsic to the F star, and therefore, the idea of a central brightening due to a hole in the disk should be abandoned.
High cadence measurement of neutral sodium and potassium absorption during the 2009-2011 eclipse of epsilon Aurigae
本文介绍了利用小型望远镜网在日食期间对御夫座进行分光观测的结果。光谱的分辨率为0.35至0.65厘米,涵盖了2008年至2012年,日食期间的典型间隔为4天。本文特别介绍了K I 7699、Na D和Mg II 4481等谱线的变异。KI 7699的吸收在日食开始前3个月开始增加,到2012年3月调查结束时,亮度已经恢复到正常的日食外水平7个月后,还没有恢复到日食前的水平。食星对KI 7699谱线的贡献被分离出来,数据显示在进入和离开期间,过量吸收以一系列的步骤增加和减少。这被解释为日食天体内部结构的指示。在食时,F星被Na D波长的食星完全遮蔽。F星的径向速度和在任何给定时间F星前面的食物质的平均和最大径向速度已经被分离出来,并在整个日食过程中被跟踪。在日食外的F星RV中看到的准周期变化在日食期间继续存在。希望这些结果可以用于约束系统及其组件的拟议模型。
Structure in the Disk of epsilon Aurigae: Analysis of the ARCES and TripleSpec data obtained during the 2010 eclipse
内容:全世界对最近御夫座日食的兴趣导致了几个广泛的数据集的产生,包括那些与高分辨率光谱监测有关的数据集。这导致发现,除其他事项外,质量传递流的存在,特别是在第三次接触。目标:我们探讨了光谱方面的质量传递流在第三次接触,使用高分辨率光谱与ARCES和TripleSpec仪器在阿帕奇点天文台。研究方法:获得了2009年至2012年之间的116个时期的数据,并测量了等效宽度和线速度,根据这些是高偏心率与低偏心率盘线的报告进行选择。这些数据集也使更多的细节被测量的日食中期增强的He I 10830 A线,并发现天鹅座P形状的Pa β线在第三次接触。分析:我们发现了与质量转移流相关的高速物质的证据,这些物质在第三和第四次日食接触之间持续存在。我们使用SHAPE软件可视化的磁盘和流的相互作用,并使用CLOUDY软件来估计,增强的He I 10830 A吸收的来源来自一个区域与log n = 10(/cm 3)和温度为20,000 K一致的中B型中心恒星。结果和后续步骤:范伦斯伯根双星演化模型与目前的双星参数相一致,初始双星的质量为9 + 8太阳质量,在3500万年后演化为2.3和14.11太阳质量的最终产物。在下一次日食之前,有可能做出预测,表明持续的监测将有助于解决关于这一双星的长期问题。

The 2014 Eclipse of EE Cep. Announcement for a Third International Observational Campaign
EE Cep是一个独特的系统,其中一颗Be星被一个黑暗的尘埃盘所掩盖,使这颗恒星在许多方面与著名的Auraur相似。EE Cep日食的深度和持续时间在很大程度上变化。最近两次日食是在广泛的国际运动框架内观测的。对这些活动数据和历史测光的联合分析使我们能够提出这个系统的模型,这意味着一个周期大约是轨道周期11-12倍的盘进动。这个模型预测,即将到来的日食应该是观测到的最深的日食之一,达到大约2兆。下一个日食的方法-光度最小值应该发生在2014年8月23日左右。在这里,我们想宣布一个新的,第三个国际运动的目的是验证磁盘进动模型,并把更多的限制,这个系统的物理参数。
