High-resolution Spectra of Very Low-Mass Stars
We present the results of high-resolution (1-0.4 Å) optical spectroscopy of a sample of very low-mass stars. These data are used to examine the kinematics of the stars at the bottom of the hydrogen-burning main sequence. No evidence is found for a significant difference between the kinematics of the stars in our sample with I–K > 3.5 (MBol ∼ 12.8) and those of more massive M-dwarfs (MBol ≈ 7 − ...
متن کاملRetrieval of Precise Radial Velocities from Near-Infrared High Resolution Spectra of Low Mass Stars
Given that low-mass stars have intrinsically low luminosities at optical wavelengths and a propensity for stellar activity, it is advantageous for radial velocity (RV) surveys of these objects to use near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. In this work we describe and test a novel RV extraction pipeline dedicated to retrieving RVs from low mass stars using NIR spectra taken by the CSHELL spectrograph ...
متن کاملAccurate masses of very low mass stars
We present very accurate individual masses (1.2% relative accuracy) for the two components of Gl 570BC, an interferometric and double-lined spectroscopic binary system. They were obtained from new high accuracy radial velocity and angular separation measurements, analysed together with previously published measurements. From those data we determine a much improved orbit through a simultaneous l...
متن کاملMass loss and very low-metallicity stars
Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present the possibility of strong mass loss at very low metallicity. Our models at Z = 10−8 show that stars more massive than about 60 M⊙ may lose a significant fraction of their initial mass in the red supergiant phase. Thi...
متن کاملAccurate masses of very low mass stars : II The very low mass triple system Gl 866 ⋆
ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Accurate masses of very low mass stars: II The very low mass triple system Gl 866 Abstract. We present very accurate orbital parameters and mass measurements (2.4% accuracy) for the well known very low mass triple system Gl 866. We obtain first orbital elements for the short-period orbit and greatly improve the long period orbit. All three stars have masses close to 0...
