The Binary Nature of the Subgiant CH Stars
نویسنده
چکیده
Repeated radial velocities have been measured for a sample of 10 subgiant CH (sgCH) stars over a period of ∼15 years. Long-term velocity variations are exhibited by all but one star, and spectroscopic orbits have been calculated for six of them. The periods are long, ranging from 876 to 4144 days. The distribution of eccentricities and mass functions for sgCH star orbits are similar to those for giant barium and CH stars, exhibiting significant orbital dissipation relative to normal late-type binaries. It is concluded that all sgCH stars are binaries, and like the barium and CH stars, they have had mass transferred from a former asymptotic giant-branch star.

The Role of Binaries in the Carbon Star Phenomenon
This presentation reviews the role that binaries play in the production of Barium, CH, and S stars. New radial velocity observations connrming the binary nature of subgiant CH stars are also discussed. Perhaps the most important part of the presentation is evidence that the early R-type carbon stars exhibit no binaries. It is suggested that they were once all binaries, but having small separati...
متن کاملThe R Stars: Carbon Stars of a Different Kind
After ∼16 years of radial-velocity observations of a sample of 22 R-type carbon stars, no evidence for binary motion has been detected in any of them. This is surprising considering that approximately 20% of normal late-type giants are spectroscopic binaries, and the fraction is close to 100% in barium, CH, and subgiant/dwarf CH and barium stars. It is suggested, therefore, that a process that ...

متن کاملThe barium stars in the Hertzsprung - Russell diagram ? , ? ? , ? ? ?
We present absolute magnitudes for a sample of 52 barium stars observed by the HIPPARCOS satellite, and their location in the HR diagram. Our plot (Fig. 1) is restricted to stars with parallax accuracies better than 22 %. The luminosity classes range from Ib supergiants down to V dwarfs on the main sequence, as expected from spectral classification. Discrepancies are however noted. No gap is ob...
متن کاملOn the link between rotation and lithium depletion in subgiant stars
We present projected rotational velocity Vsini for 65 F, G and K subgiant stars. In this work we study the link between rotation and Lithium abundance in such class of luminosity. In particular, we look for possible effects of rotational braking on the Lithiumdepletion.We show that a sharp decrease in Lithium abundances parallels the rotational discontinuity, located at F8IV, in all its aspects...
