The Orbit of the Nearby Low - Mass Binary Gliese 600

چکیده
We have computed a combined spectroscopic–interferometric orbit for the nearby binary Gliese 600 discovered by us. The orbital period is 2.78 years, and the semimajor axis is 100 mas (0.1′′). Its M0 V components are almost identical and have a mass of 0.5M(. The mass ratio is uncertain because of the low radialvelocity semiamplitude (7 km s–1) associated with the low orbital inclination (37°). The orbital parallax of the binary (52 ± 11 mas) matches its dynamical and photometric parallaxes but differs significantly from the Hipparcos parallax (44.3 ± 1.6) mas; the latter was probably distorted by the orbital motion that was not taken into account. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.

Multiplicity amongst Wide Brown Dwarf Companions to Nearby Stars: Gliese 337cd
We present Lick Natural Guide Star Adaptive Optics observations of the L8 brown dwarf Gliese 337C, which is resolved for the first time into two closely separated (0. 53±0. 03), nearly equal magnitude components with a Ks flux ratio of 0.93±0.10. Companionship is inferred from the absence of a 3. 6 offset source in 2MASS or photographic plate images, implying that the observed secondary compone...

Multiple-epoch, multicolor images of the astrometric binary Gliese 105A and its very low mass companion Gliese 105C have been obtained using the Hubble Space TelescopeÏs Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and near-infrared camera and multiobject spectrometer (NICMOS). The optical and near-infrared colors of Gl 105C strongly suggest a spectral type of M7 V for that star. Relative astrometric ...

This is the Ðrst orbit deÐned fully and exclusively with HST , and is the most accurate deÐnitive orbit for any resolved, noneclipsing system. The orbital period is 2.4490^ 0.0119 yr and the semimajor axis...

Doppler measurements of the M4 dwarf star, Gliese 876, taken at both Lick and Keck Observatory reveal periodic, Keplerian velocity variations with a period of 61 days. The orbital fit implies that the companion has a mass of, M = 2.1 MJUP/ sin i, an orbital eccentricity of, e = 0.27±0.03, and a semimajor axis of, a = 0.21 AU. The planet is the first found around an M dwarf, and was drawn from a...
متن کاملBrown Dwarf Companions to G-type Stars. I: Gliese 417b and Gliese 584c
We present astrometric and spectroscopic observations confirming that two nearby G dwarf systems (Gliese 417 = BD+362162 and Gliese 584AB = η CrB AB) have a widely separated, L dwarf, substellar companion. Using age estimates of the G dwarf primaries, we estimate masses for these L dwarfs from theoretical evolutionary tracks. For the L4.5 dwarf Gl 417B we estimate an age of 0.08-0.3 Gyr and a mass
