By simulating the time-development of the mass loss rate and radius expansion of a 20M<SUB>☉</SUB> donor star, we have calculated the detailed spin evolution of the neutron star before steady wind accretion occurs (that is, when the break spin period is reached), or when the OB star begins evolving off the main sequence or has filled its Roche lobe. Our results are compatible with the observations of OB/X-ray binaries. We find that in relatively narrow systems with orbital periods less than tens of days, neutron stars with initial magnetic field B<SUB>0</SUB> stronger than about 3×10<SUP>12</SUP> G can reach the break spin period to allow steady wind accretion in the main sequence time, whereas neutron stars with B<SUB>0</SUB> < 3×10<SUP>12</SUP> G and/or in wide systems would still be in one of the pulsar, rapid rotator or propeller phases when the companion evolves off the main sequence or fills its Roche lobe. Our results may help understand the various characteristics of the observed OB/neutron star binaries along with their distributions in the P<SUB>s</SUB>-P<SUB>orb</SUB> diagram.展开更多

Estimations of inclinations can be obtained from measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, which is discussed using examples of some eccentric binaries with an anomalous apsidal effect. Our task is to find the complete spectrum of solutions of the equation of apsidal motion, depending on the inclinations of the polar axes of the components to the orbital one for these systems, based on their individual spectroscopic and photometric observational data. The matrix of solutions allows us to select those pairs of polar inclinations that provide agreement with the observational apsidal period.展开更多

Three of them are newly discovered eclipsing systems. The light curve solutions reveal that all shortperiod targets are contact or overcontact binaries and six new binaries are added to the family of short-period systems with estimated parameters. Four binaries have com- ponents that are equal in size and a mass ratio near 1. The phase variability shown by the V-I colors of all targets may be explained by lower temperatures on their back surfaces than those on their side surfaces. Five systems exhibit the O＇Connell effect that can be modeled by cool spots on the side surfaces of their primary components. The light curves of V1067 Her in 2011 and 2012 are fitted by diametrically opposite spots. Applying the criteria for subdivision of W UMa stars to our targets leads to ambiguous results.展开更多

All of these observations were taken in a single bandpass(which approximates the Johnson V-band). Our three systems are KIC 2715417, KIC 6050116 and KIC 6287172. The first system, KIC 2715417, is considered a semi-detached system with the secondary component filling its Roche lobe. The second system, KIC 6050116, is an overcontact system, while the third system, KIC 6287172, belongs to ellipsoidal variables as deduced from the Roche lobe geometry. For photometric analysis, we used the PHOEBE software package, which is based on the Wilson-Devinney code. Due to lack of spectroscopic data, the photometric mass ratios are determined from the analyses of light curves using the q-search method. The absolute parameters are determined using three different methods(Harmanec, Maceroni &Van'tVeer and Gazeas & Niarchos).展开更多

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

This work improves upon similar earlier studies in a number of ways: First, we calculate self-consistently the angular momentum of the orbit at all times. This includes gravitational, tides and mass transfer effects in the orbital evolution of the component structure models, and allow the Roche lobe radius of the donor star and the rotational angular velocities of both components to vary, and account for the exchange of angular momentum between the spins of the white dwarfs and the orbit. Second, we investigate the mass transfer by modeling the ballistic motion of a point mass ejected from the center of the donor star through the inner Lagrangian point. Finally, we ensure that the angular momentum is conserved, which requires the donor star spin to vary self-consistently. With these improvements, we calculate the angular momentum and orbital period changes of the orbit and each binary component across the entire parameter space of direct impact double white dwarf binary systems. We find a significant decrease in the amount of angular momentum removed from the orbit during mass transfer, as well as cases where this process increases the angular momentum and orbital period of the orbit at the expense of the spin angular momentum of the donor and accretor. We find that our analysis yields an increase in the predicted number of stable systems compared to that in the previous studies, survive the onset of mass transfer, even if this mass transfer is initially unstable. In addition, as a consequence of the tidal coupling, systems that come into contact near the mass transfer instability boundary undergo a phase of mass transfer with their orbital period.展开更多

For these early- type emissionqine stars, we discuss the morphological and physical properties of their low-resolution spectra. In this spectral sample, the Hα emission profiles display a wide variety of shapes. Based on the Hα line profiles, these spectra are categorized into five distinct classes： single-peak emission, single-peak emission in absorption, double-peak emission, double-peak emission in absorption, and P-Cygni profiles. To better understand what causes the Hc~ line profiles, we divide these objects into four types from the perspective of physical classification, which include classical Be stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars, close binaries and spectra contaminated by H n regions. The majority of Herbig Ae/Be stars and classical Be stars are identified and separated using a （H-K, K-W1） color-color diagram. We also discuss 31 binary systems that are listed in the SIMBAD on-line catalog and identify 3600 spectra contaminated by HⅡ regions after cross-matching with positions in the Dubout-Crillon catalog. A statistical analysis of line profiles versus classifications is then conducted in order to understand the distribution of Hc~ profiles for each type in our sample. Finally, we also provide a table of 172 spectra with Fen emission lines and roughly calculate stellar wind velocities for seven spectra with P-Cygni profiles.展开更多

The light curve solution reveals that both components are of F spectral type （temperatures T1 = T2 = 6100 K）. NSVS 2569022 undergoes a total eclipse of W subtype and the mass ratio is well-determined. Its extremely small value of only 0.077 implies that the target will probably experience instability and a possible merger. This value ranks NSVS 2569022 in sixth place among binaries with the smallest mass ratio. Based on an empirical relation of ＂period - total mass＂ for low mass-ratio binaries, we estimate the global parameters of NSVS 2569022： masses M1 = 1.17 M⊙ and M2 = 0.09 M⊙; radii R1 = 1.19 R⊙ and R2 = 0.38 R⊙; luminosities L1 = 1.73 L⊙ and L2 = 0.17L⊙. An analysis of the characteristics of binaries with extremely low-mass ratios is made. NSVS 2569022 turns out to be a peculiar binary among W UMa stars with extremely small mass ratios due to its unexpectedly small fill-out factor of only 0.014 （slightly overcontact configuration）.展开更多

The sinusoidal-like O-C diagram of V471 Cas indicates the presence of a third body with mass 0.12 M_⊙(a red dwarf) at distance 897 R_⊙. The O-C diagram of V479 Lac reveals a period decrease of d P/dt =-1.69 × 10-6d yr-1. The results of the light curve solutions are:(i) the targets are overcontact binaries with small fill-out factors;(ii) their components are F–K stars, comparable in size, whose temperature differences are below 80 K;(iii) all targets undergo partial eclipses and to limit the possible mass ratios we carried out two-step q-search analysis. The target global parameters(luminosities, radii, masses) were obtained on the basis of their Gaia distances and the results of our light curve solutions. The obtained total mass of V560 Lac turns out to be smaller than the lower mass limit for presently known W UMa binaries of 1.0-1.2 M_⊙, i.e. this target is a peculiar overcontact system.展开更多

文摘This paper is devoted to binary stars belonging to the class of eclipsing-variable systems.Photometric and spectroscopic analysis of eclipses allows us to determine geometric parameters of the orbit and physical characteristics of stellar components as well as inclinations of stellar equators to the orbital plane. Estimations of inclinations can be obtained from measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, which is discussed using examples of some eccentric binaries with an anomalous apsidal effect. Our task is to find the complete spectrum of solutions of the equation of apsidal motion, depending on the inclinations of the polar axes of the components to the orbital one for these systems, based on their individual spectroscopic and photometric observational data. The matrix of solutions allows us to select those pairs of polar inclinations that provide agreement with the observational apsidal period.

文摘Photometric observations are presented in V and I bands of six eclipsing binaries at the lower limit of the orbital periods for W UMa stars. Three of them are newly discovered eclipsing systems. The light curve solutions reveal that all shortperiod targets are contact or overcontact binaries and six new binaries are added to the family of short-period systems with estimated parameters. Four binaries have com- ponents that are equal in size and a mass ratio near 1. The phase variability shown by the V-I colors of all targets may be explained by lower temperatures on their back surfaces than those on their side surfaces. Five systems exhibit the O＇Connell effect that can be modeled by cool spots on the side surfaces of their primary components. The light curves of V1067 Her in 2011 and 2012 are fitted by diametrically opposite spots. Applying the criteria for subdivision of W UMa stars to our targets leads to ambiguous results.
文摘We present the physical parameters of three short period close binaries using data observed from the Kepler Space Telescope. All of these observations were taken in a single bandpass(which approximates the Johnson V-band). Our three systems are KIC 2715417, KIC 6050116 and KIC 6287172. The first system, KIC 2715417, is considered a semi-detached system with the secondary component filling its Roche lobe. The second system, KIC 6050116, is an overcontact system, while the third system, KIC 6287172, belongs to ellipsoidal variables as deduced from the Roche lobe geometry. For photometric analysis, we used the PHOEBE software package, which is based on the Wilson-Devinney code. Due to lack of spectroscopic data, the photometric mass ratios are determined from the analyses of light curves using the q-search method. The absolute parameters are determined using three different methods(Harmanec, Maceroni &Van'tVeer and Gazeas & Niarchos).

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 have presented the evolution of angular momentum and orbital period changes between the component spins and the orbit in close double white dwarf binaries undergoing mass transfer through direct impact accretion over a broad range of orbital parameter space. This work improves upon similar earlier studies in a number of ways: First, we calculate self-consistently the angular momentum of the orbit at all times. This includes gravitational, tides and mass transfer effects in the orbital evolution of the component structure models, and allow the Roche lobe radius of the donor star and the rotational angular velocities of both components to vary, and account for the exchange of angular momentum between the spins of the white dwarfs and the orbit. Second, we investigate the mass transfer by modeling the ballistic motion of a point mass ejected from the center of the donor star through the inner Lagrangian point. Finally, we ensure that the angular momentum is conserved, which requires the donor star spin to vary self-consistently. With these improvements, we calculate the angular momentum and orbital period changes of the orbit and each binary component across the entire parameter space of direct impact double white dwarf binary systems. We find a significant decrease in the amount of angular momentum removed from the orbit during mass transfer, as well as cases where this process increases the angular momentum and orbital period of the orbit at the expense of the spin angular momentum of the donor and accretor. We find that our analysis yields an increase in the predicted number of stable systems compared to that in the previous studies, survive the onset of mass transfer, even if this mass transfer is initially unstable. In addition, as a consequence of the tidal coupling, systems that come into contact near the mass transfer instability boundary undergo a phase of mass transfer with their orbital period.

文摘We present the essential stellar parameters of the close visual triple system HD 2893 using Al-Wardat's method for analyzing binary and multiple star systems in conjunction with Kurucz's model atmospheres.This method accurately computes the spectrophotometric stellar masses through a combined synthetic spectral energy distribution approach that compares the results with observed data.The vigorous approach uses spectroscopic,photometric,and dynamical analysis to yield precise results.The method implements Gaia DR3 measurements and other measurements like those of Hipparcos and 2MASS All-Sky Catalog as a guide for the best fit between the synthetic spectra and observed photometry.The analysis gives precise spectrophotometric stellar masses for the system being M_(Sph)^(A)=1.20±0.07M⊙,M_(Sph)^(B)=1.09±0.06M⊙,and M_(Sph)^(C)=0.46±0.01M⊙.It shows that the three components are main sequence stars with an estimated age of around 1.0 Gyr.When integrated with the dynamical analysis,a new dynamical parallax for the system is obtained,π_(dyn)=13.8528±0.20 mas.Additionally,the discussion covers the formation and evolution of the triple system.

文摘Binary systems in the asymptotic giant branch(AGB)phase are widely recognized as a leading theoretical framework underpinning the observed asymmetric morphologies of planetary nebulae.However,the detection of binary companions in AGB systems is severely hampered by the overwhelming brightness and variability of the evolved primary star,which dominates the photometric and spectroscopic signatures.Ultraviolet(UV)excess emission has been proposed as a candidate diagnostic for the presence of binary companions in AGB systems.This paper evaluates the Chinese Space Station Telescope’s(CSST)ability to detect UV excess emission in AGB stars,leveraging its unprecedented UV sensitivity and wide-feld survey capabilities.We employed synthetic spectral libraries of M0–M8 type giants for primary stars and the ATLAS 9 atmospheric model grid for companion stars spanning a temperature range of 6500 to 12,000 K.By convolving these model spectra with the CSST multi-band flter system,we computed color–color diagrams(g–y versus NUV–u)to construct a diagnostic grid.This grid incorporates interstellar extinction corrections and establishes a framework for identifying AGB binary candidates through direct comparison between observed photometry and theoretical predictions.Furthermore,we discuss the physical origins of UV excess in AGB stars.This study pioneers a diagnostic framework leveraging CSST’s unique multi-band UV-visible synergy to construct color–color grids for binary candidate identifcation,overcoming limitations of non-simultaneous multi-instrument observations.

文摘Based on positional observations and measurements of radial velocities,the orbits of 850 wide visual binary stars have been determined.The parameters of the log-normal distributions for the histograms of orbital periods,stellar masses,and semimajor axes in astronomical units have been obtained.The eccentricity histogram for binary stars with orbital periods less than 400 yr follows a normal distribution centered at e=0.545+/−0.029.For stars with longer periods,this distribution obeys the law f=2e,with accuracy to errors.The mass-to-luminosity relation for stars with well-determined masses is given by:log L_(⊙)=4.33 logM_(⊙)-0.11,where L_(⊙) and M_(⊙) are the luminosity and mass of the star in units of the solar luminosity and mass,respectively.

文摘In this paper,new light curve fitting and orbital period change analysis of two contact binaries NSVS 9023048 and NSVS 2461789 are presented.We found that both of them are totally eclipsing contact binaries.Our photometric solutions suggest that NSVS 9023048 is a deep contact binary(q=10.14,f=69.2%),however,NSVS 2461789is a shallow one(f=24.4%,q=3.08).The asymmetric light curves of NSVS 2461789 and NSVS 9023048 can be explained by the star-spot activity.At the same time,using the available eclipse times,we first studied the orbital period changes of these two targets.It is discovered that the period of NSVS 9023048 is decreasing at a rate of dP/dt=-1.17×10^(-6)day yr^(-1),which can be explained by mass transfer from the more massive star to the less massive one or angular momentum loss.In addition,the O-C diagrams of NSVS 9023048 and NSVS 2461789show possible cyclic oscillations with a period of 7.29 yr and 9.91 yr,respectively.The cyclic oscillations may be caused by the light-travel time effect due to the presence of a third component.The mass of the tertiary companion is determined to be M_(3)sin(i_(3))=9.05 Mefor NSVS 9023048 and M_(3)sin(i_(3))=0.11 Mefor NSVS 2461789.Based on our calculations,the third body of NSVS 9023048 may be a black hole candidate.Our study also reveals that NSVS 9023048 is stable now.

文摘We present the results of our study of the long-period eclipsing binary star V454 Aur.The results are based on spectroscopic data obtained with the UFESéchelle spectrograph and photometric observations from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite(TESS).The derived radial velocity curve is based on 17 spectra obtained between 2021and 2023,covering all orbital phases of this binary system.The orbital period determined from TESS data,P=27.019803±0.000003 days,agrees within uncertainties with the period established in previous studies.The model constructed for the TESS photometric light curve achieves a precision of 0.01%.The effective temperatures of both components,as well as the system metallicity,were directly derived from the spectra and are Teff,A=6250±50 K,Teff,B=5855±50 K,and[Fe/H]=-0.10±0.08,respectively.Our analysis of the photometric and spectroscopic data allowed us to directly compute the luminosities of the components,LA=1.82 L☉and LB=1.07 L☉,their radii,RA=1.15 R☉and RB=1.00 R☉,and their masses,MA=1.137 M☉and MB=1.023 M☉,with uncertainties below 1%.Comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates that the system’s age is 1.18±0.10 Gyr,and both components are still on the main sequence.The V454 Aur system is particularly interesting due to the partial eclipse of the primary component,which results in the“inversion”of the primary and secondary minima in the photometric light curve.

文摘In this study,the apsidal motion analyses of the eclipsing binary systems V398 Lac,V2544 Cyg,and V785 Cas are presented.The(O-C)diagrams of the selected systems were constructed using all available and reliable times of minimum light compiled from the literature.As a result,the apsidal motion periods were determined to be 353±50 yr,43.3±5.1 yr and 83.4±8.5 yr,respectively.Furthermore,the TESS light curves of the three systems were analyzed to derive their photometric and absolute parameters.The component masses were determined as follows:for V398 Lac,M_(1)=3.83±0.35 M_(⊙)and M2=3.27±0.35 M_(⊙);for V2544 Cyg,M_(1)=1.75±0.38 M_(⊙)and M2=1.40±0.38 M_(⊙);for V785 Cas,M_(1)=5.64±0.41 M_(⊙)and M2=5.18±0.41 M_(⊙).The parameters related to apsidal motion,as well as the observational and theoretical internal structure constants(K_(2,obs) and K_(2,teo))were calculated for studied binaries.The relativistic contribution to the observed apsidal motion rate was found to be relatively small,constituting less than approximately 5%of the total rate in each system.The theoretical internal structure constants were derived from the evolutionary models,assuming a standard chemical composition of(X,Z)=(0.70,0.01).

文摘EW-type eclipsing binaries(hereafter called EWs)are strong interacting systems in which both component stars usually fill their critical Roche lobes and share a common envelope.Numerous EWs were discovered by several deep photometric surveys and there were about 40 785 EW-type binary systems listed in the international variable star index(VSX)by 2017 March 13.7938 of them were observed with LAMOST by 2016 November 30 and their spectral types were identified.Stellar atmospheric parameters of 5363 EW-type binary stars were determined based on good spectroscopic observations.In the paper,those EWs are cataloged and their properties are analyzed.The distributions of orbital period(P),effective temperature(T),gravitational acceleration(log(g)),metallicity([Fe/H])and radial velocity(RV)are presented for these observed EW-type systems.It is shown that about 80.6% of sample stars have metallicity below zero,indicating that EW-type systems are old stellar populations.This is in agreement with the conclusion that EW binaries are formed from moderately close binaries through angular momentum loss via magnetic braking that takes a few hundred million to a few billion years.The unusually high metallicities of a few percent of EWs may be caused by contamination of material from the evolution of unseen neutron stars or black holes in the systems.The correlations between orbital period and effective temperature,gravitational acceleration and metallicity are presented and their scatters are mainly caused by(i)the presence of third bodies and(ii)sometimes wrongly determined periods.It is shown that some EWs contain evolved component stars and the physical properties of EWs mainly depend on their orbital periods.It is found that extremely short-period EWs may be older than their long-period cousins because they have lower metallicities.This reveals that they have a longer timescale of pre-contact evolution and their formation and evolution are mainly driven by angular momentum loss via magnetic braking.

文摘New light curves and photometric solutions of FP Lyn,FV CVn and V354 UMa are presented.We found that these three systems are W-subtype shallow contact binaries.In addition,it is obvious that the light curves of FP Lyn and V354 UMa are asymmetric.Therefore,a hot spot was added on the primary star of FP Lyn and a dark spot was added on the secondary star of V354 UMa.At the same time,we added a third light to the photometric solution of FP Lyn for the final result.The obtained mass ratios and fill-out factors are q = 1.153 and f = 13.4% for FP Lyn,q = 1.075 and f = 4.6% for FV CVn,and q = 3.623 and f = 10.7% for V354 UMa respectively.The investigations of orbital period for these three systems indicate that the periods are variable.FP Lyn and V354 UMa were discovered to have secularly increasing components with rates of dp/dt = 4.19 ×10^-7 dyr^-1 and dp/dt = 7.70 ×10^-7 dyr^-1 respectively,which are feasibly caused by conservative mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component.In addition,some variable components were discovered for FV CVn,including a rate of dp/dt =-1.13 ×10^-6 dyr^-1 accompanied by a cyclic oscillation with amplitude and period of 0.0069 d and 10.65 yr respectively.The most likely explanation for the long-term decrease is angular momentum loss.The existence of an additional star is the most plausible explanation for the periodic variation.

文摘We present a catalog including 11 204 spectra of 10436 early-type emission-line stars from LAMOST DR2, among which 9752 early-type emission-line spectra are newly discovered. For these early- type emissionqine stars, we discuss the morphological and physical properties of their low-resolution spectra. In this spectral sample, the Hα emission profiles display a wide variety of shapes. Based on the Hα line profiles, these spectra are categorized into five distinct classes： single-peak emission, single-peak emission in absorption, double-peak emission, double-peak emission in absorption, and P-Cygni profiles. To better understand what causes the Hc~ line profiles, we divide these objects into four types from the perspective of physical classification, which include classical Be stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars, close binaries and spectra contaminated by H n regions. The majority of Herbig Ae/Be stars and classical Be stars are identified and separated using a （H-K, K-W1） color-color diagram. We also discuss 31 binary systems that are listed in the SIMBAD on-line catalog and identify 3600 spectra contaminated by HⅡ regions after cross-matching with positions in the Dubout-Crillon catalog. A statistical analysis of line profiles versus classifications is then conducted in order to understand the distribution of Hc~ profiles for each type in our sample. Finally, we also provide a table of 172 spectra with Fen emission lines and roughly calculate stellar wind velocities for seven spectra with P-Cygni profiles.

文摘Photometric observations of the W UMa binary NSVS 2569022 are presented. The light curve solution reveals that both components are of F spectral type （temperatures T1 = T2 = 6100 K）. NSVS 2569022 undergoes a total eclipse of W subtype and the mass ratio is well-determined. Its extremely small value of only 0.077 implies that the target will probably experience instability and a possible merger. This value ranks NSVS 2569022 in sixth place among binaries with the smallest mass ratio. Based on an empirical relation of ＂period - total mass＂ for low mass-ratio binaries, we estimate the global parameters of NSVS 2569022： masses M1 = 1.17 M⊙ and M2 = 0.09 M⊙; radii R1 = 1.19 R⊙ and R2 = 0.38 R⊙; luminosities L1 = 1.73 L⊙ and L2 = 0.17L⊙. An analysis of the characteristics of binaries with extremely low-mass ratios is made. NSVS 2569022 turns out to be a peculiar binary among W UMa stars with extremely small mass ratios due to its unexpectedly small fill-out factor of only 0.014 （slightly overcontact configuration）.

文摘We present photometric observations in Sloan filters g′, i′of the eclipsing W UMa stars USNOA2.0 1350-17365531, V471 Cas, V479 Lac and V560 Lac. The sinusoidal-like O-C diagram of V471 Cas indicates the presence of a third body with mass 0.12 M_⊙(a red dwarf) at distance 897 R_⊙. The O-C diagram of V479 Lac reveals a period decrease of d P/dt =-1.69 × 10-6d yr-1. The results of the light curve solutions are:(i) the targets are overcontact binaries with small fill-out factors;(ii) their components are F–K stars, comparable in size, whose temperature differences are below 80 K;(iii) all targets undergo partial eclipses and to limit the possible mass ratios we carried out two-step q-search analysis. The target global parameters(luminosities, radii, masses) were obtained on the basis of their Gaia distances and the results of our light curve solutions. The obtained total mass of V560 Lac turns out to be smaller than the lower mass limit for presently known W UMa binaries of 1.0-1.2 M_⊙, i.e. this target is a peculiar overcontact system.
文摘We present a comprehensive set of physical and geometrical parameters for each of the components of the close visual binary system HIP 11253(HD 14874).We present an analysis for the binary and multiple stellar systems with the aim to obtain a match between the overall observational spectral energy distribution of the system and the spectral synthesis created from model atmospheres using Al-Wardat's method for analyzing binary and multiple stellar systems.The epoch positions are used to determine the orbital parameters and the total mass.The parameters of both components are derived as:T_(eff)^(a)=6025,T_(eff)^(b)=4710,logg_(a)=4.55,logg_(b)=4.60,R_(a)=1.125 R_(⊙),R_(b)=0.88R_(⊙),L_(a)=1.849 L_(⊙),L_(b)=0.342 L_(⊙).Our analysis shows that the spectral types of the components are F9 and K3.By combining the orbital solution with the parallax measurements of Gaia DR2 and EDR3,we estimate the individual masses using the H-R diagram as M_(a)=1.09 M_(⊙)and M_(b)=0.59 M_(⊙)for using Gaia DR2 parallax and M_(a)=1.10 M_(⊙)and M_(b)=0.61 M_(⊙)for using Gaia EDR3 parallax.Finally,the location of both system's components on the stellar evolutionary tracks is presented.

文摘Contact binaries consist of two strongly interacting component stars where they are filling their critical Roche lobes and sharing a common envelope.Most of them are main-sequence stars,but some of them are post main-sequence systems.They are good astrophysical laboratories for studying several problems such as the merging of binary stars,evolution of the common envelope,the origin of luminous red nova outbursts and the formation of rapidly rotating single stars with possible planetary systems.A large number of contact binary candidates were detected by several photometric surveys around the world and many of them were observed by the LAMOST spectroscopic survey.Based on follow-up observations,the evolutionary states and geometrical structures of some systems were understood well.In this review,we will introduce and catalog new stellar atmospheric parameters(i.e.,the effective temperature(Teff),the gravitational acceleration(log(g)),metallicity([Fe/H])and radial velocity(Vr))for 9149 EW-type contact binaries that were obtained based on low-and medium-resolution spectroscopic surveys of LAMOST.Then we will focus on several groups of contact binary stars,i.e.,marginal contact binary systems,deep and low-mass ratio contact binary stars,binary systems below the short-period limit of contact binaries and evolved contact binaries.Marginal contact binaries are at the beginning of the contact stage,while deep and low-mass ratio contact binary stars are at the final evolutionary stage of tidally locked binaries.Several statistical relations including the period-temperature relation are determined well by applying LAMOST data and their formation and evolutionary states are reviewed.The period-color relation of M-type binaries reveals that there are contact binaries below the short-period limit.Searching for and investigating contact binaries near and below this limit will help us to understand the formation of contact binary systems and a new prediction for the short-period limit is about 0.15 d.Some evolved contact binaries were detected by the LAMOST survey where both components are sub-giants or giants.They provide a good opportunity to investigate evolution of the common envelope and are the progenitors of luminous red novae like V1309 Sco.
