一个ε造父变星的暗淡伴星

A dim candidate companion to εCephei

摘要:

在Palomar的1.5米校正子孔径(WCS)后面使用矢量涡旋日冕仪,我们发现了第二个非常接近εCephei的物体,一颗δScuti F0 IV星。候选伴星比造父ε星暗约50倍,如果物理上与之相关,则是一颗晚型K星或早型M星,位于330质量的角距处,或WCS的1.1 λ/D,使其成为有史以来以λ/D为单位的日冕探测器实现的最小角探测。这颗伴星的预计距离约为8.6天文单位,很可能位于一个高度偏心的轨道上。因此,最近探测到的近红外过量可能不是由于热尘埃。此外,我们还表明,以前报道的IRAS 60 μm的过剩是由于源混淆的银道面。

英文摘要:

Using a vector vortex coronagraph behind the 1.5-m well-corrected subaperture (WCS) at Palomar, we detected a second object very close to εCephei, a δScuti F0 IV star. The candidate companion, ~50 times fainter than εCephei, if physically associated, is a late-type K or early M star, and lies at an angular separation of 330 mas, or 1.1 λ/D for the WCS, making it the smallest angle detection ever realized with a coronagraph in terms of λ/D units. The projected separation of the putative companion is ~8.6 AU, most likely on a highly eccentric orbit. The recently detected near-infrared excess is thus likely not due to hot dust. Moreover, we also show that the previously reported IRAS 60 μm excess was due to source confusion on the galactic plane.
