摘要:

我们采用多种方法搜寻邻近白矮星的新超冷伴星,包括分析颜色以及检查光学和红外图像。通过这一过程,我们识别出51个此前未被认识到的、具有候选超冷伴星的系统。其中31个系统在至少一个星表中被分辨,除6个系统外,其余均通过共同自行以及一致的视差测量(在有数据时)被确认为共动伴星。我们利用近红外光谱对4个共动伴星进行了后续观测,并确认了它们的超冷性质。其余20个候选体未被分辨,但表现出明显的红外超量迹象,这最可能是由于存在低温、低质量伴星或多尘的星周盘。这些未分辨系统中有3个已有光学光谱,通过光谱分解清楚显示白矮星主星存在一颗冷恒星伴星。这些新发现连同我们对白矮星主星的年龄估计,将成为未来表征超冷矮星的宝贵基准系统。

英文摘要:

We conducted a search for new ultracool companions to nearby white dwarfs using multiple methods, including the analysis of colors and examination of images in both the optical and the infrared. Through this process, we identified fifty-one previously unrecognized systems with candidate ultracool companions. Thirty-one of these systems are resolved in at least one catalog, and all but six are confirmed as co-moving companions via common proper motion and consistent parallax measurements (when available). We have followed up four co-moving companions with near-infrared spectroscopy and confirm their ultracool nature. The remaining twenty candidates are unresolved, but show clear signs of infrared excess which is most likely due to the presence of a cold, low-mass companion or a dusty circumstellar disk. Three of these unresolved systems have existing optical spectra that clearly show the presence of a cool stellar companion to the white dwarf primary via spectral decomposition. These new discoveries, along with our age estimates for the primary white dwarfs, will serve as valuable benchmark systems for future characterization of ultracool dwarfs.
