The path of gravitons is analyzed in an accelerating system equivalent to a gravitating system. The finite speed of the graviton results in a delay of the gravitational interaction with a particle mass. From the aberration found in the path of the graviton we derive the standard expression for the advancement of the periastron of the orbit of the mass around a star. In a similar way, by analysing the aberrations of the graviton and light paths in an accelerating reference frame, the expression for the deflection of light by a massive body is obtained identically to the standard result. We also examine the binary star system and calculate the decay in its orbital period. The decay is attributed to the redshift of the graviton frequency relative to the accelerating system. Here too, we obtain good agreement with experimental measurements. Also, hypothesizing that gravitons behave like photons, we determine the temperature of the gravitons in a binary star system and form the Bose-Einstein distribution. Finally, we show how the redshift of gravitons may be the source of dark matter, dark energy and flat line spiral galaxy rotation curves.展开更多

By comparing our light curves with those published by previous investigators, it is determined that the O'Connell effect on the light curves has disappeared. By analyzing those multi-color light curves with the Wilson-Devinney code(W-D code),it is discovered that V1853 Ori is an A-type intermediate-contact binary with a degree of contact factor of f = 33.3%(3.7%) and a mass ratio of q = 0.1896(0.0013). Combining our 10 newly determined times of light minima together with others published in the literature, the period changes of the system are investigated. We found that the general trend of the observed minus calculated(O-C) curve shows a downward parabolic variation that corresponds to a long-term decrease in the orbital period with a rate of d P/dt =-1.96(0.46)×10^(-7) d yr^(-1). The long-term period decrease could be explained by mass transfer from the more-massive component to the less-massive one. By combining our photometric solutions with data from Gaia DR_2, absolute parameters were derived as M_1 = 1.20 M⊙, M_2 = 0.23 M⊙, R_1 = 1.36 R⊙and R_2 = 0.66 R⊙. The long-term period decrease and intermediate-contact configuration suggest that V1853 Ori will evolve into a high fill-out overcontact binary.展开更多

However, recent studies showed that there are many non-pulsating stars located inside the classical instability strip. The existence of these non-pulsating stars is still a mystery. To deeply understand the properties of these non-pulsating and pulsating stars, one needs precise fundamental stellar parameters(e.g. mass).For this purpose, the eclipsing binaries are unique systems. Hence, in this study, we present the TESS data analysis of one candidate pulsating eclipsing binary system, V948 Her. TESS data were used for the binary modeling with the literature radial velocity measurements, and the precise fundamental parameters of the system were obtained. The system’s age was derived as 1 ± 0.24 Gyr. The positions of the binary components in the H-R diagram were examined and the primary component was found inside the δ Scuti instability strip. However, in the frequency analysis of TESS data, we found no significant pulsation frequencies. Only the harmonics of the orbital periods were obtained in the analysis. Therefore, the system was classified as a non-pulsator. V948 Her is an important object to understand the nature of non-pulsating stars inside the δ Scuti instability strip.展开更多

The results inferred...A theoretical model for explaining the O'Connell effect of close binary stars is given based on the hypothesis that the circumstellar material of a binary system is captured by its components. The results inferred from the model suggest that late-type and/or short-period binaries can easily produce obvious O'Connell effect and that the occurrence of O'Connell effect has no relation with the type of binaries. These conclusions are in agreement with the observed results. The observed O'Connell effects of six binary systems are examined by the model. For three W-subtype W UMa binaries (YY Eri, BX Per and SW Lac), the densities of the materials captured by the two components are assumed to be equal, and the calculated O'Connell effect is found to be almost equal to the observed effect. For three A-subtype W UMa systems (CN And, FG Hya and AU Ser), the two densities are assumed to be different, and are calculated separately. The calculated O'Connell effect turns out to agree better with the observed effect than that was formerly obtained.展开更多

Inside an accreting star, angular momentum is carried by meridional circulation and shear turbulence. The circulation carries part of the angular momentum of the accreted layers to the accretor's surface. The greater the rate of arrival of angular momentum in the accretor is, the greater this part. It is assumed that this part of the angular momentum can be removed by the disk further from the accretor. If the angular momentum in the matter entering the accretor is more than half the Keplerian value, then the angular momentum obtained by the accretor during mass exchange stage does not depend on the rate of arrival of angular momentum. The accretor may have the characteristics of a Be-star immediately after the end of mass exchange.展开更多

The long-term period decrease could be explained by mass transfer from the more-massive component to the less-massive one. By combining our photometric solutions with data from Gaia DR_2, absolute parameters were derived as M_1 = 1.20 M⊙, M_2 = 0.23 M⊙, R_1 = 1.36 R⊙and R_2 = 0.66 R⊙. The long-term period decrease and intermediate-contact configuration suggest that V1853 Ori will evolve into a high fill-out overcontact binary.

文摘Pulsating stars occupy a significant place in the H-R diagram and it was thought that all stars inside the classical instability strip should pulsate. However, recent studies showed that there are many non-pulsating stars located inside the classical instability strip. The existence of these non-pulsating stars is still a mystery. To deeply understand the properties of these non-pulsating and pulsating stars, one needs precise fundamental stellar parameters(e.g. mass).For this purpose, the eclipsing binaries are unique systems. Hence, in this study, we present the TESS data analysis of one candidate pulsating eclipsing binary system, V948 Her. TESS data were used for the binary modeling with the literature radial velocity measurements, and the precise fundamental parameters of the system were obtained. The system’s age was derived as 1 ± 0.24 Gyr. The positions of the binary components in the H-R diagram were examined and the primary component was found inside the δ Scuti instability strip. However, in the frequency analysis of TESS data, we found no significant pulsation frequencies. Only the harmonics of the orbital periods were obtained in the analysis. Therefore, the system was classified as a non-pulsator. V948 Her is an important object to understand the nature of non-pulsating stars inside the δ Scuti instability strip.
文摘Using measured radial velocity data of five double-lined spectroscopic binary systems,HD 89959,HD 143705,HD 146361,HD 165052 and HD 152248, we find corresponding orbital and spectroscopic elements via a Probabilistic Neural Network.Our numerical results are in good agreement with those obtained by others using more traditional methods.

文摘A theoretical model for explaining the O'Connell effect of close binary stars is given based on the hypothesis that the circumstellar material of a binary system is captured by its components. The results inferred from the model suggest that late-type and/or short-period binaries can easily produce obvious O'Connell effect and that the occurrence of O'Connell effect has no relation with the type of binaries. These conclusions are in agreement with the observed results. The observed O'Connell effects of six binary systems are examined by the model. For three W-subtype W UMa binaries (YY Eri, BX Per and SW Lac), the densities of the materials captured by the two components are assumed to be equal, and the calculated O'Connell effect is found to be almost equal to the observed effect. For three A-subtype W UMa systems (CN And, FG Hya and AU Ser), the two densities are assumed to be different, and are calculated separately. The calculated O'Connell effect turns out to agree better with the observed effect than that was formerly obtained.

文摘We investigate the exchange of mass in a binary system as a channel through which a Be star can receive a rapid rotation.The mass-transfer phase in a massive close binary system in the Hertzsprung-gap is accompanied by the spinning up of the accreting component.We consider a case when the mass of the accreting component increases by 1.5 times.The component acquires mass and angular momentum while in a state of critical rotation.The angular momentum of the component increases by 50 times.Meridional circulation effectively transports angular momentum inside the component during the mass-transfer phase and during the thermal timescale after the end of the mass-transfer phase.As a result of mass transfer,the component acquires the rotation typical of classical Be stars.

文摘The double neutron star PSR J1846-0513 is discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)in Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey.The pulsar is revealed to be harbored in an eccentric orbit with e=0.208 and an orbital period of 0.613 day.The total mass of the system is constrained to b2.6287(35)M_(⊙),with a mass upper limit of 1.3455 M_(⊙)for the pulsar and a mass lower limit of 1.2845 M_(⊙)for th companion star.To reproduce its evolution history,we perform a 1D model for the formation of PSR J1846-0513whose progenitor is assumed to be neutron star—helium(He)star system via MESA code.Since the larg eccentricity is widely believed to originate from an asymmetric supernova explosion,we also investigate th dynamical effects of the supernova explosion.Our simulated results show that the progenitor of PSR J1846-0513could be a binary system consisting of a He star of 3.3-4.0 M_(⊙)and a neutron star in a circular orbit with an initia period of~0.5 day.

文摘This paper investigates the spin-up of a mass-accreting star in a close binary system passing through the first stage of mass exchange in the Hertzsprung gap. Inside an accreting star, angular momentum is carried by meridional circulation and shear turbulence. The circulation carries part of the angular momentum of the accreted layers to the accretor's surface. The greater the rate of arrival of angular momentum in the accretor is, the greater this part. It is assumed that this part of the angular momentum can be removed by the disk further from the accretor. If the angular momentum in the matter entering the accretor is more than half the Keplerian value, then the angular momentum obtained by the accretor during mass exchange stage does not depend on the rate of arrival of angular momentum. The accretor may have the characteristics of a Be-star immediately after the end of mass exchange.

文摘The existence of pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries has been known for decades.These types of objects are extremely valuable systems for astronomical studies as they exhibit both eclipse and pulsation variations.The eclipsing binaries are the only way to directly measure the mass and radius of stars with a good accuracy(≤1%),while the pulsations are a unique way to probe the stellar interior via oscillation frequencies.There are different types of pulsating stars existing in eclipsing binaries.One of them is theδScuti variables.Currently,the known number ofδScuti stars in eclipsing binaries is around 90 according to the latest catalog of these variables.An increasing number of these kinds of variables is important to understand the stellar structure,evolution and the effect of binarity on the pulsations.Therefore,in this study,we focus on discovering new eclipsing binaries withδScuti component(s).We searched within the northern Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS)field with a visual inspection by following some criteria such as light curve shape,the existence of pulsation like variations in the out-of-eclipse light curve and the T_(eff) values of the targets.As a result of these criteria,we discovered some targets.The orbital variations were first removed from the TESS light curves and frequency analysis was performed on the residuals.The luminosity,and absolute and bolometric magnitudes of the targets were calculated as well.To find how much of these parameters represent the primary(more luminous)binary component,we also computed the flux density ratio of the systems by utilizing the area of the eclipses.In addition,the positions of the systems in the H-R diagram were examined considering the flux density ratios.As a consequence of the investigation,we defined 38 candidateδScuti stars and also one Maia variable in eclipsing binary systems.

文摘The white dwarf(WD)+helium(He)star binary channel plays an important role in the single degenerate scenario for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae(SNe Ia).Previous studies on the WD+main sequence star evolution have shown that the magnetic fields of WDs may significantly influence their accretion and nuclear burning processes.In this work we focus on the evolution of magnetized WD+He star binaries with detailed stellar evolution and binary population synthesis(BPS)calculations.In the case of magnetized WDs,the magnetic fields may disrupt the inner regions of the accretion disk,funnel the accretion flow onto the polar caps and even confine helium burning within the caps.We find that,for WDs with sufficiently strong magnetic fields,the parameter space of the potential SN Ia progenitor systems shrinks toward shorter orbital periods and lower donor masses compared with that in the non-magnetized WD case.The reason is that the magnetic confinement usually works with relatively high mass transfer rates,which can trigger strong wind mass loss from the WD,thus limiting the He-rich mass accumulation efficiency.The surviving companion stars are likely of low-mass at the moment of the SN explosions,which can be regarded as a possible explanation for the non-detection of surviving companions after the SNe or inside the SN remnants.However,the corresponding birthrate of Galactic SNe Ia in our high-magnetic models is estimated to be~(0.08–0.13)×10^(-3)yr^(-1)(~0.17–0.28×10^(-3)yr^(-1)for the non-magnetic models),significantly lower than the observed Galactic SN Ia birthrate.

文摘We present a detailed analysis of a double-lined spectroscopic binary system,Bo Gem,using data obtained from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope(LAMOST)and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS).By applying spectral disentangling techniques to the LAMOST Medium Resolution Spectra,we determine the orbital parameters,including the orbital period of P=4.0689 days,and semimajor axis of a=14.90±0.04 R_(⊙).The mass ratio between the two components is found to be q=0.198±0.006,with an inclination of i=82°.3±0°.13.The photometric data from TESS revealed periodic light variations due to the eclipsing nature of the system,allowing for the determination of the primary star’s radius as R_(1)=1.68±0.03 R_(⊙)and the secondary star’s radius as R_(2)=3.68±0.04 R_(⊙).The effective temperatures of the primary and secondary stars are measured to be T_(eff,1)=9705±50 K and T_(eff,2)=5830±22 K,respectively.By analyzing the disentangled spectra,we determined the stellar atmospheric parameters—including surface gravity and metallicity of both stars.These results not only confirm the double-lined spectroscopic binary status of Bo Gem,but also underscore its value as an important system for testing and refining stellar evolution models.
