天鹅座OB2星协大质量恒星双星特征的更新研究

An Updated Look at Binary Characteristics of Massive Stars in the Cygnus OB2 Association

Daniel C. Kiminki, Henry A. Kobulnicky

摘要:

利用114颗B3-O3主星的径向速度信息和24颗已知双星的轨道特性,对天鹅座OB 2星协中的大质量双星特征进行了统计分析。我们将这些数据与一系列的蒙特卡罗模拟进行比较,以推断内在的二元分数和质量比,周期和偏心率的分布。我们将质量比、对数周期和偏心率的分布建模为幂律,并分别找到最佳拟合指数α =0.1+/-0.5,beta=0.2+/-0.4,gamma=-0.6+/-0.3。这些分布表明,大规模的同伴,短周期,低偏心率的偏好。我们的分析表明,如果所有的双星系统都(人为地)假设P<1000天,那么星团的双星比例为44+/-8%;如果幂律周期分布外推到10^4年,这是束缚系统的合理上限,那么双星比例为~90+/-10%。在这些二元(或更高阶)系统中,约45%将有足够近的伴星,在主序演化之前或之后(半长轴~/<4.7 AU)相互作用。P<27天的周期分布不能很好地由任何单一的幂律再现,因为周期在3-5天(0.08-0.31 AU)左右的系统过多,而周期在7-14天(0.14-0.62 AU)左右的系统相对短缺。我们探讨的想法,这些较长周期的系统演变产生观察到的短周期系统过剩。最佳拟合的二元参数意味着,在年轻的大规模人口中,平均约16%的V-波段光产生。这意味着,如果不考虑未分辨秒的发光贡献,年轻大质量星团和星协的光度距离测量将系统性地低约8%(距离模数为0.16等)。

英文摘要:

This work provides a statistical analysis of the massive star binary characteristics in the Cygnus OB2 Association using radial velocity information of 114 B3-O3 primary stars and orbital properties for the 24 known binaries. We compare these data to a series of Monte Carlo simulations to infer the intrinsic binary fraction and distributions of mass ratios, periods, and eccentricities. We model the distribution of mass ratio, log-period, and eccentricity as power-laws and find best fitting indices of alpha=0.1+/-0.5, beta=0.2+/-0.4, and gamma=-0.6+/-0.3 respectively. These distributions indicate a preference for massive companions, short periods, and low eccentricities. Our analysis indicates that the binary fraction of the cluster is 44+/-8% if all binary systems are (artificially) assumed to have P<1000 days; if the power-law period distribution is extrapolated to 10^4 years, a plausible upper limit for bound systems, the binary fraction is ~90+/-10%. Of these binary (or higher order) systems, ~45% will have companions close enough to interact during pre- or post-main-sequence evolution (semi-major axis ~/<4.7 AU). The period distribution for P<27 days is not well reproduced by any single power-law owing to an excess of systems with periods around 3-5 days (0.08-0.31 AU) and a relative shortage of systems with periods around 7-14 days (0.14-0.62 AU). We explore the idea that these longer-period systems evolved to produce the observed excess of short-period systems. The best fitting binary parameters imply that secondaries generate, on average, ~16% of the V-band light in young massive populations. This means that photometrically based distance measurements for young massive clusters & associations will be systematically low by ~8% (0.16 mag in the distance modulus) if the luminous contributions of unresolved secondaries are not taken into account.
