低金属丰度(Z)的大质量恒星在塑造高红移宇宙中发挥核心作用,但其多重性仍未得到很好的约束。Binarity at Low Metallicity(BLOeM)项目是一项为期两年的调查,使用欧洲南方天文台甚大望远镜的纤维大阵列多元素光谱仪(FLAMES)对小麦哲伦星系中的929颗恒星进行观测,首次对低Z(1/5太阳金属丰度)大质量恒星开展大规模光谱监测。对初始9个 epoch 的分析显示,主序星的固有双星比例很高(>70%),演化天体的比例则急剧下降。对完整数据集的分析将得出轨道解、识别黑洞伴星,并推导低Z下单星和双星的初始质量函数。
英文摘要
Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (BLOeM) campaign is a two-year survey of 929 stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud with the Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) instrument at ESO's Very Large Telescope, providing the first large-scale spectroscopic monitoring of massive stars at low Z (1/5 solar). Analysis of the initial nine epochs reveals high intrinsic binary fractions (>70%) on the main sequence and a steep decline in evolved objects. Analysis of the full dataset will yield orbital solutions, identify black-hole companions, and allow a derivation of the initial mass function for single and binary stars at low Z.
