摘要:

Bp星HD 94660是一颗单线光谱联星。一些作者认为,至少2M_sun的看不见的伴星可能是一个紧凑的物体。我们打算详细研究这个多重系统,特别是更多地了解迄今为止看不见的伴星。我们已经收集和分析了PIONIER H波段的数据从甚大望远镜干涉仪,TESS可见光光度数据,和X射线观测与钱德拉的HD94660。使用PIONIER,我们能够探测到HD94660的伴星,它在可见光波长的高质量光谱中是不存在的,在H波段的星等差为1.8,分离度为18.72 mas。TESS光变曲线的变化周期为2.1d,也有耀斑现象。钱德拉光谱很好地描述了从热等离子体的发射,但可能包括一个非热分量。X射线的性质与磁活跃的伴星是相容的,而来自主星的一些磁层贡献也是可能的。我们可以排除HD94660的伴侣是一个紧凑的源。这颗伴星也不太可能是一颗恒星,因为它的估计质量超过2M太阳,在H波段的星等差为1.8,并且在可见光谱中无法探测到,很难在一个单一的物体中实现。另一种可能是一对晚期的F星,这也将是探测到的光度变化的原因。需要对整个双轨道进行干涉测量观测,以确定伴星的实际质量,并对系统的整体几何形状添加约束。

英文摘要:

The Bp star HD94660 is a single-lined spectroscopic binary. Some authors have suggested that the unseen companion of at least 2M_sun may be a compact object. We intend to study this multiple system in detail, especially to learn more about the so-far unseen companion. We have collected and analyzed PIONIER H-band data from the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, TESS visible photometric data, and X-ray observations with Chandra of HD94660. Using PIONIER, we were able to detect the companion to HD94660, which is absent from high quality spectra at visible wavelengths, with a magnitude difference of 1.8 in the H band at a separation of 18.72mas. The TESS light curve shows variations with a period of 2.1d and also flaring. The Chandra spectrum is well described by emission from hot thermal plasma, yet might include a non-thermal component. The X-ray properties are compatible with a magnetically active companion, while some magnetospheric contribution from the primary is also possible. We can rule out that the companion to HD94660 is a compact source. It is also very unlikely that this companion is a single star, as the estimated mass of more than 2M_sun, the magnitude difference of 1.8 in the H band, and its non-detection in visible spectra are difficult to realize in a single object. One alternative could be a pair of late F stars, which would also be responsible for the detected photometric variations. Interferometric observations over the full binary orbit are necessary to determine the real mass of the companion and to add constraints on the overall geometry of the system.
