关于附近的褐矮星双星WISE J104915 .57-531906.1(Luhman 16)

On the Nearby Binary Brown Dwarf WISE J104915.57-531906.1 (Luhman 16)

摘要:

我报告了一些与Luhman发现的d = 2 pc的新的邻近褐矮星相关的观测和计算(2013,ApJ Letters,in press; arXiv:1303.2401)。我报告了IRAS(1983.5历元; IRAS Z10473-5303)、AKARI(2007.0历元; AKARI J1049166-531907)和指南星表(1995.304历元; GSC2.2 S11132026703,GSC2.3 S4 BM 006703)中新天体的档案天体测量和测光。欧洲南方天文台施密特望远镜(epoch 1984.169)拍摄的一张超级宇宙扫描图显示源被拉长(PA = 138度)。根据现有的天体测量学和测光学,这颗双星不太可能是100 pc以内已知的附近年轻星系团的成员。基于自行和视差,一个薄盘/厚盘/晕星的蒙特卡罗模拟表明,这对双星系统最有可能是薄盘星(约96%),只有约4%的机会是厚盘星(晕星的机会可以忽略不计)。我建议用它的临时华盛顿双星表标识符(“Luhman 16”)或“Luhman-WISE 1”来命名这个重要的新的邻近双星,这两个标识符都比WISE标识符更容易记住。

英文摘要:

I report some observations and calculations related to the new nearby brown dwarf at d = 2 pc discovered by Luhman (2013, ApJ Letters, in press; arXiv:1303.2401). I report archival astrometry and photometry of the new object from IRAS (epoch 1983.5; IRAS Z10473-5303), AKARI (epoch 2007.0; AKARI J1049166-531907), and the Guide Star Catalog (epoch 1995.304; GSC2.2 S11132026703, GSC2.3 S4BM006703). A SuperCOSMOS scan of a plate taken with the ESO Schmidt Telescope (epoch 1984.169) shows the source as elongated (PA = 138 deg). Membership of the binary to any of the known nearby young groups within 100 pc appears unlikely based on the available astrometry and photometry. Based on the proper motion and parallax, a Monte Carlo simulation of thin disk/thick disk/halo stars is suggestive that the binary is, unsurprisingly, most likely a thin disk star (~96%), with a ~4% chance that it is a thick disk (and negligible chance that it is a halo star). I suggest that this important new nearby binary be called by either its provisional Washington Double Star catalog identifier ("Luhman 16"), or perhaps "Luhman-WISE 1", either of which is easier to remember than the WISE identifier.
