AI总结:

本文利用双星造父变星合成星族量化伴星光线对周期-光度关系的偏移,发现双星比例差异导致星系间距离模数偏差,对哈勃常数引入额外统计误差但不影响1%精度测量。

摘要:

由于具有周期-光度关系(PLR),经典造父变星在河外距离尺度的校准和哈勃-勒梅特常数 $H_0$ 的测定中起着关键作用。最近的研究表明,大多数经典造父变星应该处于双星或多星系统中,这可能会削弱其准确性,因为来自造父变星伴星的额外且未计入的光线会导致 PLR 发生偏移。我们使用为此目的开发的双星造父变星合成星族来量化这种偏移,如本系列论文 I 中所述。我们发现,尽管由于伴星的过量光线,所有 PLR 都向更亮的值偏移,但宿主双星造父变星的两个星系之间的相对距离模数的偏差可以是正的或负的,这取决于其中双星造父变星的百分比。如果两个星系中的双星比例相似,则双星效应被抵消。否则,它会在近红外波段和 Wesenheit 指数中引入毫星等量级的距离模数偏移,并在可见光波段引入数十毫星等的偏移;其确切值取决于合成星族的变体(金属丰度、恒星形成历史、不稳定带的形状和位置以及初始参数分布的独特组合)。这种向 Ia 型超新星宿主星系的距离模数偏移在 $H_0$ 上引入了额外的统计误差,但这并不妨碍以 1% 的精度测量 $H_0$。

英文摘要:

Because of their period-luminosity relation (PLR), classical Cepheids play a key role in the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale and the determination of the Hubble-Lemaître constant $H_0$. Recent findings show that the majority of classical Cepheids should be in binary or multiple systems, which might undermine their accuracy, as the extra -- and unaccounted for -- light from the companions of Cepheids causes a shift in the PLR. We quantify this shift using synthetic populations of binary Cepheids that we developed for this purpose, as described in Paper I of this series. We find that while all PLRs are shifted toward brighter values due to the excess light from the companions, the bias in the relative distance modulus between two galaxies hosting binary Cepheids can be either positive or negative, depending on the percentage of binary Cepheids in them. If the binarity percentage in the two galaxies is similar, the effect of binarity is canceled. Otherwise, it introduces a shift in the distance modulus of the order of millimags in the near-infrared passbands and Wesenheit indices, and tens of millimags in the visual domain; its exact value depends on the variant of the synthetic population (a unique combination of metallicity, star formation history, shape and location of the instability strip, and initial parameter distributions). Such shifts in distance moduli to type Ia supernova host galaxies introduce an additional statistical error on $H_0$, which however does not prevent measuring $H_0$ with a precision of 1%.
