摘要:

我们报告发现了一个非常接近的食双星系统。一颗白矮星被一颗核心燃烧氦的致密热亚矮星环绕,其周期短至$\simeq0.04987 {\rm d}$,使该系统成为迄今为止发现的最致密的热亚矮星双星。亚矮星将开始在短时间内转移富含氦的物质,时间尺度小于$50 {\rm Myr}$。虽然WD的质量小于Escherasekhar极限($>0.74\,M_{\rm \odot}$),使得这对双星可能是Ia型超新星事件的候选祖先,但在表面点燃He燃烧可能会引发核心的碳燃烧。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of an extremely close, eclipsing binary system. A white dwarf is orbited by a core He-burning compact hot subdwarf star with a period as short as $\simeq0.04987 {\rm d}$ making this system the most compact hot subdwarf binary discovered so far. The subdwarf will start to transfer helium-rich material on short timescales of less than $50 {\rm Myr}$. The ignition of He-burning at the surface may trigger carbon-burning in the core although the WD is less massive than the Chandrasekhar limit ($>0.74\,M_{\rm \odot}$) making this binary a possible progenitor candidate for a supernova type Ia event.
