AI中文摘要:

凭借微角秒级精度,《Gaia》使得亚恒星伴星的天体测量发现成为可能。然而,需要进行后续观测以检验轨道解并排除天体物理假阳性。我们验证并表征了20个《Gaia》数据发布3(DR3)亚恒星伴星天体测量候选体,其双重目标是识别假阳性并为真实伴星推导稳健的物理参数。我们分别使用北欧光学望远镜上的FIES、ESO 3.6米望远镜上的NIRPS以及WIYN望远镜上的NEID进行了高分辨率光谱观测。双线光谱双星被识别为假阳性,幸存系统通过《Gaia》天体测量与视向速度联合建模进行表征。其中十三个候选体被证明是近孪生双星,其光心天体测量运动小到足以模拟单星对亚恒星伴星的响应。我们确认六个伴星为褐矮星,质量范围在约26至68倍木星质量之间,其中两个为首次确认。与早期对较低质量《Gaia》候选体的研究相比,我们发现天体测量轨道解通常在所述不确定度内是可靠的。

英文摘要:

With microarcsecond precision, \textit{Gaia} has made the astrometric discovery of substellar companions feasible. However, follow-up observations are needed to check on orbital solutions and rule out astrophysical false positives. We validate and characterise a sample of 20 \textit{Gaia} Data Release 3 (DR3) astrometric candidates for substellar companions, with the dual goal of identifying false positives and deriving robust physical parameters for genuine companions. We performed high-resolution spectroscopy using FIES, NIRPS, and NEID at the Nordic Optical Telescope, the ESO 3.6m telescope, and the WIYN Telescope, respectively. Double-lined spectroscopic binaries were identified as false positives, and surviving systems were characterised through joint \textit{Gaia} astrometry and radial velocity modelling. Thirteen of the candidates proved to be near-twin binary stars for which the astrometric motion of the center of light is small enough to mimic that of a single star in response to a substellar companion. We confirm that six companions are brown dwarfs with masses in the range ${\sim}26$--$68\,M_\mathrm{Jup}$, two of them for the first time. In contrast to earlier studies of lower-mass \textit{Gaia} candidates, we find that the astrometric orbital solutions are generally reliable to within the stated uncertainties.
