金牛座T星三重系统的轨道运动、变率和质量

Orbital Motion, Variability, and Masses in the T Tauri Triple System

G. H. Schaefer, Tracy L. Beck, L. Prato, M. Simon

摘要:

我们介绍了2015-2019年在凯克和双子座天文台获得的金牛座T三重系统的自适应光学成像结果。我们拟合了T Tau Sb相对于Sa的轨道运动,并模拟了它们的质心相对于T Tau N的天体测量运动。利用Gaia测得的距离,我们导出了MSa = 2.05 +/- 0.14 Msun和MSb = 0.43 +/- 0.06 Msun的动力学质量。随着持续观测,绘制整个轨道周期的运动,预计质量的精确度将得到提高;这一点特别重要,因为该系统将于2023年接近近星点。根据已发表的性质和最近的进化轨迹,我们估计T Tau N的质量约为2 Msun,这表明T Tau N的质量与T Tau Sa相似。窄带红外测光显示,T Tau N在2017年底至2019年初之间保持相对恒定,平均值为K = 5.54 +/- 0.07 mag。自2015年以来,使用T Tau N校准相对通量测量,我们发现T Tau Sa在几个月的时间尺度内在K波段的7.0至8.8 mag之间变化剧烈,而T Tau Sb在K波段从8.5等稳定地衰减到11.1等。在T Tau S双星27年的轨道周期中,两个组成部分在K波段相对于T Tau N都显示出3-4个量级的变化。

英文摘要:

We present results from adaptive optics imaging of the T Tauri triple system obtained at the Keck and Gemini Observatories in 2015-2019. We fit the orbital motion of T Tau Sb relative to Sa and model the astrometric motion of their center of mass relative to T Tau N. Using the distance measured by Gaia, we derived dynamical masses of M_Sa = 2.05 +/- 0.14 Msun and M_Sb = 0.43 +/- 0.06 Msun. The precision in the masses is expected to improve with continued observations that map the motion through a complete orbital period; this is particularly important as the system approaches periastron passage in 2023. Based on published properties and recent evolutionary tracks, we estimate a mass of ~ 2 Msun for T Tau N, suggesting that T Tau N is similar in mass to T Tau Sa. Narrow-band infrared photometry shows that T Tau N remained relatively constant between late 2017 and early 2019 with an average value of K = 5.54 +/- 0.07 mag. Using T Tau N to calibrate relative flux measurements since 2015, we found that T Tau Sa varied dramatically between 7.0 to 8.8 mag in the K-band over timescales of a few months, while T Tau Sb faded steadily from 8.5 to 11.1 mag in the K-band. Over the 27 year orbital period of the T Tau S binary, both components have shown 3-4 magnitudes of variability in the K-band, relative to T Tau N.
