摘要:

蓝离散星(BSS)是主序星,在主序星上通过获取质量而逃避了恒星演化。我们利用UVIT/ASTROSAT对两颗BSS和一颗黄离散星(YSS)的极低质量(ELM)白矮星(WD)伴星进行了探测。以及主序星的WD伴星(被称为蓝色潜伏者)表明M67中有很大一部分质量转移后的双星。使用更深的UVIT观测,在这里我们报告在M67中检测到另一个蓝色潜伏者,与ELM WD相伴。存在ELM WD(包括BSS)的后传质系统由情况A/B传质形成,不太可能显示出表面丰度的任何差异。我们发现WD的温度和BSS的$v\ sin i$之间存在相关性。我们还发现大质量WD的前身星很可能属于M67中的热亮BSS群。UVIT在球状星团NGC 5466中唯一检测到的BSS+WD系统具有正常的WD,这表明低密度球状星团的外围可能存在类似疏散星团的环境。

英文摘要:

The blue straggler stars (BSSs) are main-sequence (MS) stars, which have evaded stellar evolution by acquiring mass while on the MS. The detection of extremely low mass (ELM) white dwarf (WD) companions to two BSSs and one yellow straggler star (YSS) from our earlier study using UVIT/ASTROSAT, as well as WD companions to main-sequence stars (known as blue lurkers) suggest a good fraction of post-mass transfer binaries in M67. Using deeper UVIT observations, here we report the detection of another blue lurker in M67, with an ELM WD companion. The post-mass transfer systems with the presence of ELM WDs, including BSSs, are formed from Case A/B mass transfer and are unlikely to show any difference in surface abundances. We find a correlation between the temperature of the WD and the $v\ sin i$ of the BSSs. We also find that the progenitors of the massive WDs are likely to belong to the hot and luminous group of BSSs in M67. The only detected BSS+WD system by UVIT in the globular cluster NGC 5466, has a normal WD and suggests that open cluster like environment might be present in the outskirts of low density globular clusters.
