The radial velocities and physical parameters of HD 553 ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
HD 553 was discovered as an eclipsing binary by Hipparcos. Here, we present the first radial velocity curve for this system. It is found, that HD 553 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary. Despite the large luminosity difference, the two components of this system are of very similar mass. The primary, a K0-giant, fills a large fraction of its Roche-lobe. The secondary is, despite its very similar mass, still a late-type dwarf. The radial velocity curve allows to constrain several stellar and system parameters.

Lightcurves of three eclipsing binaries (HD 143654 = TV Nor, HD 184035 = HR 7422 and HD 185257 = HR 7464) in seven colours are analyzed and their photometric elements are given. Published radial velocities of two of them allow some constraints to be put on the masses of the components, while new radial velocities allow us to estimate the mass and absolute radius of each component of the system ...
متن کاملThe distance to the Pleiades from orbital solution of the double - lined eclipsing binary HD 23642 ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Combining precise B,V photometry and radial velocities, we have been able to derive a firm orbital solution and accurate physical parameters for the newly discovered eclipsing binary HD 23642 in the Pleiades open cluster. The resulting distance to the binary and therefore to the cluster is 132±2 pc. This closely confirms the distance modulus obtained by classical main sequence fitting methods (...

Aims. We aim to demonstrate the efficiency of a Bayesian approach in analysing radial velocity data by reanalysing a set of radial velocity measurements. Methods. We present Bayesian analysis of a recently published set of radial velocity measurements known to contain the signal of one extrasolar planetary candidate, namely, HD 11506. The analysis is conducted using the Markov chain Monte Carlo...
متن کاملExoFit : orbital parameters of extra-solar planets from radial velocities
Retrieval of orbital parameters of extrasolar planets poses considerable statistical challenges. Due to sparse sampling, measurement errors, parameters degeneracy and modelling limitations there are no unique values of basic parameters such as period and eccentricity. Here we estimate the orbital parameters from radial velocity data in a Bayesian framework by utilising Markov Chain Monte Carlo ...
متن کاملSignals embedded in the radial velocity noise Periodic variations in the τ Ceti velocities
Context. The abilities of radial velocity exoplanet surveys to detect the lowest-mass extra-solar planets are currently limited by a combination of instrument precision, lack of data, and “jitter”. Jitter is a general term for any unknown features in the noise, and reflects a lack of detailed knowledge of stellar physics (asteroseismology, starspots, magnetic cycles, granulation, and other stel...
