摘要:

我们在10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias(GTC)上使用OSIRIS相机监测L4.5矮星2 M1821 $+$ 14在17个月内的天体测量运动。11个历元的天体测量残差具有均方根值。0.4mas的色散,其大于每历元0.23mas的平均精度,并且暗示了附加信号或过量噪声。OSIRIS和FORS 2/VLT图像中的点扩散函数的比较表明,尽管GTC的分段主镜,但对于高精度天体测量来说没有关键的差异。我们把多余的噪音归因于一种未知的效应,这种效应可能会被更多的数据所揭示。对于2 M1821 $+$ 14,我们测量了$106.15 \pm 0.18$ mas的相对视差,并确定了$0.50\pm0.05$ mas相对于绝对视差的校正,得到了$9.38 \pm0.03$ pc的距离。在3- $σ$置信度下,我们排除了2 M1821 $+$ 14的伴星的存在,伴星的质量比为0.1($\approx 5\, M_\mathrm{Jupiter}$),周期为50- 1000天,间隔为0.1- 0.7 au。精确的视差使我们能够估计2 M1821 $+$ 14的年龄和质量为120- 700 Myr和0.049 $^{+0.014}_{-0.024}$ M $_\odot$,从而证实了它的中间年龄和亚恒星质量。我们补充我们的研究与视差和自行目录的587颗恒星($i'\simeq15.5-22$)接近2 M1821 $+$ 14,用作天体测量参考。本研究演示了GTC的亚质量天体测量,这种能力适用于各种科学案例,包括搜索太阳系外行星,并与E-ELT和TMT的未来天体测量观测相关。

英文摘要:

We used the OSIRIS camera at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) to monitor the astrometric motion of the L4.5 dwarf 2M1821$+$14 over 17 months. The astrometric residuals of eleven epochs have a r.m.s. dispersion of 0.4 mas, which is larger than the average precision of 0.23 mas per epoch and hints towards an additional signal or excess noise. Comparison of the point-spread-functions in OSIRIS and FORS2/VLT images reveals no differences critical for high-precision astrometry, despite the GTC's segmented primary mirror. We attribute the excess noise to an unknown effect that may be uncovered with additional data. For 2M1821$+$14, we measured a relative parallax of $106.15 \pm 0.18$ mas and determined a correction of $0.50\pm0.05$ mas to absolute parallax, leading to a distance of $9.38 \pm0.03$ pc. We excluded at 3-$σ$ confidence the presence of a companion to 2M1821$+$14 down to a mass ratio of 0.1 ($\approx 5\, M_\mathrm{Jupiter}$) with a period of 50--1000 days and a separation of 0.1--0.7 au. The accurate parallax allowed us to estimate the age and mass of 2M1821$+$14 of 120--700 Myr and 0.049$^{+0.014}_{-0.024}$ M$_\odot$, thus confirming its intermediate age and substellar mass. We complement our study with a parallax and proper motion catalogue of 587 stars ($i'\simeq15.5-22$) close to 2M1821$+$14, used as astrometric references. This study demonstrates sub-mas astrometry with the GTC, a capability applicable for a variety of science cases including the search for extrasolar planets and relevant for future astrometric observations with E-ELT and TMT.
