Gliese 569 B系统的红外变率

Infrared Variability of the Gliese 569B System

Matthew A. Kenworthy, Louis J. Scuderi

摘要:

格利泽569 B是一个多褐矮星系统,其确切性质在过去几年中一直是几项研究的主题。解释部分依赖于红外线光度法和光谱学的解决组成部分的系统。我们目前看到有限的Ks测光超过四个晚上,在这个年轻的低质量亚恒星系统的变化搜索。我们的光度学是与其他报道的光度学一致,我们报告的几个周期性的信号与旋转调制由于其表面上的斑点一致的试探性检测。五个显著的周期范围从2.90小时到12.8小时,在Ks波段中峰到峰的变化范围从28 mmag到62 mmag。如果两个分量都以最短的周期旋转,则它们的旋转轴彼此不平行,并且Bb分量的旋转轴不垂直于Ba-Bb轨道平面。如果Bb有一个较长的自转周期,那么Bb的自转轴与Ba-Bb系统的轨道轴平行。

英文摘要:

Gliese 569B is a multiple brown dwarf system whose exact nature has been the subject of several investigations over the past few years. Interpretation has partially relied on infra-red photometry and spectroscopy of the resolved components of the system. We present seeing limited Ks photometry over four nights, searching for variability in this young low mass substellar system. Our photometry is consistent with other reported photometry, and we report the tentative detection of several periodic signals consistent with rotational modulation due to spots on their surfaces. The five significant periods range from 2.90 hours to 12.8 hours with peak to peak variabilities from 28 mmag to 62 mmag in the Ks band. If both components are rotating with the shortest periods, then their rotation axes are not parallel with each other, and the rotation axis of the Bb component is not perpendicular to the Ba-Bb orbital plane. If Bb has one of the longer rotational periods, then the Bb rotation axis is consistent with being parallel to the orbital axis of the Ba-Bb system.
