摘要:

我们目前的限制,在中央10角秒(~0.4 pc)的银河系银河系中心(GC)使用凯克自适应光学数据超过12年的基线的年轻恒星的变异性和二元性。考虑到我们实验的光度不确定性,我们样本中至少有36%的已知早期恒星是可变的。我们通过寻找周期性的变化来识别食双星系统。在我们的光谱确认的样本和可能的早期类型的恒星,我们发现了两个以前发现的GC食双星系统。通过对食双星系统的蒙特卡罗模拟,我们得到了主序星、早型星在GC上的可能双星比例,发现在90%的置信度下,主序星、早型星的可能双星比例至少为32%。

英文摘要:

We present constraints on the variability and binarity of young stars in the central 10 arcseconds (~0.4 pc) of the Milky Way Galactic Center (GC) using Keck Adaptive Optics data over a 12 year baseline. Given our experiment's photometric uncertainties, at least 36% of our sample's known early-type stars are variable. We identified eclipsing binary systems by searching for periodic variability. In our sample of spectroscopically confirmed and likely early-type stars, we detected the two previously discovered GC eclipsing binary systems. We derived the likely binary fraction of main sequence, early-type stars at the GC via Monte Carlo simulations of eclipsing binary systems, and find that it is at least 32% with 90% confidence.
