Accurate masses of very low mass stars : I Gl 570 BC ( 0 . 6 M ⊙ + 0 . 4 M ⊙ ) ⋆
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 least square fit to the radial velocity, visual, and parallax information. The derived masses and absolute magnitudes generally validate the theoretical and empirical mass-luminosity relations around 0.5 M⊙, but point towards some low level discrepancies at the 0.1 to 0.15 magnitude level. Forthcoming results of this observing program will extend the comparison to much lower masses with similar accuracy.

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...

We have obtained adaptive optics images and accurate radial velocities for 7 very low mass objects, In the course of a long term effort to determine accurate masses for very low mass stars (M<0.6 M). We use the new data, together with measurements from the litterature for some stars, to determine new or improved orbits for these 7 systems. They provide masses for 16 very low mass stars with acc...
متن کاملCollisions of Main-Sequence Stars and the Formation of Blue Stragglers in Globular Clusters
We report the results of new SPH calculations of parabolic collisions between two main-sequence stars in a globular cluster. Such collisions are directly relevant to the formation of blue stragglers. In particular, we consider parent stars of mass M=MTO = 0:2; 0:5; 0:75, and 1, where MTO is the cluster turno mass (typically about 0:8M ). Low-mass stars (with M = 0:2MTO or 0:5MTO) are assumed to...
متن کاملDisk Masses in the Embedded and T Tauri Phases of Stellar Evolution
Motivated by a growing concern that masses of circumstellar disks may have been systematically underestimated by conventional observational methods, we present a numerical hydrodynamics study of time-averaged disk masses (〈Md〉) around low-mass Class 0, Class I, and Class II objects. Mean disk masses (Md) are then calculated by weighting the time-averaged disk masses according to the correspondi...
