摘要:

摘要:我们报告发现了两个新的,罕见的,宽的,双简并的双星,每个都包含一个磁性和一个非磁性的恒星。SDSSJ092646.88+132134.5 + J092647.00+132138.4和SDSSJ150746.48+521002.1 + J150746.80+520958.0的角间距分别只有4.6弧秒(a~ 650 AU)和5.1弧秒(a~ 750 AU)。它们似乎也有共同的自行运动。后续的光学光谱显示,每个系统由一个DA和一个富氢的高场磁白矮星(HFMWD)。我们的有效温度和DA组件的表面重力的测量显示,两者都有较大的质量比典型的外地白矮星。通过假设这些简并恒星由于它们的轨道间距很大而基本上是作为单个恒星演化的,我们用它们来限制我们恒星系统的总年龄。这些论证认为,在每种情况下,HFMWD可能与早期型祖细胞(M_init > 2M_solar)相关。我们发现SDSSJ 150746.80 +520958.0(DAH)的冷却时间比它遵循典型的单星演化路径的预期要低。这种轻微的不一致与少数其他HFMWD中的两种(REJ 0317 -853和EG 59)观察到的相同,其中两种HFMWD的祖细胞质量已进行了估计。另一个DAH的质量,SDSSJ 092646.88 +132134.5,似乎比基于单星演化的预期要小。如果这个物体是一个三级系统的成员,它可能在其生命的早期阶段经历了更大的质量损失,因为它有一个亲密的伴星。我们对HFMWD参数的估计存在很大的不确定性,这表明需要对这些物体进行更大的样本,以确定其推断的冷却时间和祖质量的任何趋势。

英文摘要:

Abridged: We report the discovery of two, new, rare, wide, double-degenerate binaries that each contain a magnetic and a non-magnetic star. The components of SDSSJ092646.88+132134.5 + J092647.00+132138.4 and SDSSJ150746.48+521002.1 + J150746.80+520958.0 have angular separations of only 4.6 arcsec (a~650AU) and 5.1 arcsec (a~750AU), respectively. They also appear to share common proper motions. Follow-up optical spectroscopy reveals each system to consist of a DA and a H-rich high-field magnetic white dwarf (HFMWD). Our measurements of the effective temperatures and the surface gravities of the DA components reveal both to have larger masses than are typical of field white dwarfs. By assuming that these degenerates have evolved essentially as single stars, due to their wide orbital separations, we use them to place limits on the total ages of our stellar systems. These argue that in each case the HFMWD is probably associated with an early type progenitor (M_init > 2M_solar). We find that the cooling time of SDSSJ150746.80+520958.0 (DAH) is somewhat lower than might be expected had it followed the evolutionary path of a typical single star. This mild discord is in the same sense as that observed for two of the small number of other HFMWDs for which progenitor mass estimates have been made, REJ0317-853 and EG59. The mass of the other DAH, SDSSJ092646.88+132134.5, appears to be smaller than expected on the basis of single star evolution. If this object was/is a member of a hierarchical triple system it may have experienced greater mass loss during an earlier phase of its life as a result of it having a close companion. The large uncertainties on our estimates of the parameters of the HFMWDs suggest a larger sample of these objects is required to firmly identify any trends in their inferred cooling times and progenitor masses.
