AI总结:

本文在球状星团E3中发现了一颗具有双星特征的热后渐近巨星分支恒星,通过Gaia运动学、径向速度变化及多波段测光确定了其成员身份、双星轨道参数和物理性质,为研究球状星团中后渐近巨星分支恒星的演化与双星作用提供了新样本。

摘要:

我们报告了在银河系球状星团(GC)E3中新发现的一颗热的后渐近巨星分支(PAGB)恒星,这是球状星团中首批被确认显示出双星特征的后渐近巨星分支恒星之一。该恒星在Astrosat/UVIT图像中是E3中最亮的源。我们利用Gaia DR3的运动学和视差测量确认了它属于星团E3。我们用两个历元的高分辨率光谱观测得到的径向速度(RVs)以及从0.13 μm到22 μm的地基和天基测光观测补充了测光数据。我们发现两个历元之间的径向速度变化约为6 km/s。这表明该恒星处于双星轨道中。对具有观测到的径向速度的可能双星系统进行的模拟表明,双星周期为39.12天或17.83天,质量比q≥1.0。利用高分辨率光谱推导出的[Fe/H]约为-0.7 dex,与星团的金属丰度非常吻合。光谱和测光测量表明该恒星的Teff和log g分别为17500±1000 K和2.37±0.20 dex。赫茨普龙-罗素(H-R)图上的各种后渐近巨星分支演化轨迹表明该恒星当前质量在0.51-0.55太阳质量范围内。该恒星富含C和O丰度,与球状星团中其他后渐近巨星分支恒星相比显示出相似的CNO丰度,并具有在渐近巨星分支阶段发生第三次挖掘的证据。

英文摘要:

We report a new hot post-asymptotic giant branch (PAGB) star in the Galactic globular cluster (GC) E3, which is one of the first of the identified PAGB stars in a GC to show a binary signature. The star stands out as the brightest source in E3 in the \mbox{\em Astrosat}/UVIT images. We confirmed its membership with the cluster E3 using Gaia DR3 kinematics and parallax measurements. We supplemented the photometric observations with radial velocities (RVs) from high-resolution spectroscopic observations at two epochs and with ground- and space-based photometric observations from 0.13 $μ$m to 22 $μ$m. We find that the RVs vary over $\sim$6 \kms\ between the two epochs. This is an indication of the star being in a binary orbit. A simulation of possible binary systems with the observed RVs suggests a binary period of either 39.12 days or 17.83 days with mass ratio q$\geq$1.0. The [Fe/H] derived using the high-resolution spectra is $\sim -$0.7 dex, which closely matches the cluster metallicity. The spectroscopic and photometric measurements suggest \Teff\ and $\log g$ of the star as 17\,500$\pm$1\,000~K and 2.37$\pm$0.20~dex, respectively. Various PAGB evolutionary tracks on the Hertzsprung--Russell (H-R) diagram suggest a current mass of the star in the range 0.51$-$0.55 \Msun. The star is enriched with C and O abundances, showing similar CNO abundances compared to the other PAGB stars in GCs with the evidence of the third dredge-up on the AGB phase.
