Synchronization in the early-type detached binary stars
نویسنده
چکیده
With a set of homogeneous and refined rotational velocities, we discuss the synchronism in the “normal” (all the particular stars, such as Ap, Am and Of, are excluded) earlytype detached binaries. Being different from previous statistical studies, the present paper not only investigates the rotational synchronism of each component, but also estimates its age from newstellar evolutionarygrids, and calculates its synchronization time scale with Zahn’s dynamically tidal theory. Significantly, we find that the dynamically tidal synchronizationmechanism is substantially compatible with the observed data from the comparison of the rotational properties of our components with the theoretical predictions.

Preliminary Observational Results of Tidal Synchronization in Detached Solar-Type Binary Stars
We present preliminary observational results on tidal synchronization in detached solar-type binary stars in the open clusters M35 (NGC2168; ∼ 150 Myr) and M34 (NGC1039; ∼ 250 Myr). M35 and M34 provide populations of close late-type binaries with ages that make them attractive observational tests of models of tidal synchronization during the early main-sequence phase. A combined dataset of stel...
متن کاملEclipsing Binary Stars from Space
We have begun a programme to obtain high-precision photometry of bright detached eclipsing binary (dEB) stars with the Wide field InfraRed Explorer (wire) satellite (Bruntt & Buzasi 2006). Due to the small aperture of wire only stars brighter than V = 6 can be observed. We are collecting data for about a dozen dEB targets and here we present preliminary results for three of them. We have chosen...
متن کاملThe Banana Project. Iv. Two Aligned Stellar Rotation Axes in the Young Eccentric Binary System Epcrucis: Primordial Orientation and Tidal Alignment
With observations of the EPCru system, we continue our series of measurements of spin-orbit angles in eclipsing binary star systems, the BANANA project (Binaries Are Not Always Neatly Aligned). We find a close alignment between the sky projections of the rotational and orbital angular momentum vectors for both stars (βp = −1.8± 1.6◦ and |βs| < 17◦). We also derive precise absolute dimensions an...
متن کاملAccurate fundamental parameters of eclipsing binary stars
The study of detached eclipsing binaries is one of the most powerful ways to investigate the properties of individual stars and stellar systems. We present preliminary masses, radii and effective temperatures for the eclipsing binary WWAurigae, which is composed of two metallic-lined A-type stars. We also reanalyse the data on HD23642, an A-type eclipsing binary member of the Pleiades open clus...
متن کاملPhotometric Solutions for Detached Eclipsing Binaries: selection of ideal distance indicators in the SMC
Detached eclipsing binary stars provide a robust one-step distance determination to nearby galaxies. As a by-product of Galactic microlensing searches, catalogs of thousands of variable stars including eclipsing binaries have been produced by the OGLE, MACHO and EROS collaborations. We present photometric solutions for detached eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) discovered b...
