The visual orbits of the spectroscopic binaries HD 6118 and HD 27483 from the Palomar Testbed Interferometer
نویسنده
چکیده
We present optical interferometric observations of two double-lined spectroscopic binaries, HD 6118 and HD 27483, taken with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) in the K band. HD 6118 is one of the most eccentric spectroscopic binaries and HD 27483 a spectroscopic binary in the Hyades open cluster. The data collected with PTI in 2002-2003 allow us to determine astrometric orbits and when combined with the radial velocity measurements derive all physical parameters of the systems. The masses of the components are 2.65± 0.27M⊙ and 2.36±0.24M⊙ for HD 6118 and 1.38±0.13M⊙ and 1.39±0.13M⊙ for HD 27483. The apparent semi-major axis of HD 27483 is only 1.2 mas making it the closest binary successfully observed with an optical interferometer.

Differential Astrometry of Sub-arcsecond Scale Binaries at the Palomar Testbed Interferometer
We have used the Palomar Testbed Interferometer to perform very high precision differential astrometry on the 0.25 arcsecond separation binary star HD 171779. In 70 minutes of observation we achieve a measurement uncertainty of ≈ 9 micro-arcseconds in one axis, consistent with theoretical expectations. Nightto-night repeatability over four nights is at the level of 16 micro-arcseconds. This met...
متن کاملPrecision radial velocities of double - lined spectroscopic binaries with an iodine absorption cell
A spectroscopic technique employing an iodine absorption cell (I 2) to superimpose a reference spectrum onto a stellar spectrum is currently the most widely adopted approach to obtain precision radial velocities of solar-type stars. It has been used to detect ∼80 extrasolar planets out of ∼130 known. Yet in its original version, it only allows us to measure precise radial velocities of single s...

We have determined the angular diameters of two metal-poor stars, HD 122563 and Gmb 1830, using CHARA and Palomar Testbed Interferometer observations. For the giant star HD 122563, we derive an angular diameter θ3D = 0.940 ± 0.011 milliarcseconds (mas) using limb-darkening from 3D convection simulations and for the dwarf star Gmb 1830 (HD 103095) we obtain a 1D limb-darkened angular diameter θ1...

We present orbital solutions for three low-amplitude spectroscopic binaries discovered in a sample of 20 solar-type IAU radial-velocity standard stars observed with the Digital Speedometers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. We update the orbital solutions for HD 114762 and HD 140913, and present a preliminary new solution for HD 29587. For all three orbits the minimum mass for...
متن کاملCross - Correlation in Four Dimensions : Application to the Quadruple - Lined Spectroscopic System Hd 110555
We develop a technique to measure radial velocities of stars from spectra that present four sets of lines. The algorithm is an extension of the two-dimensional cross-correlation method TODCOR to four dimensions. It computes the correlation of the observed spectrum against a combination of four templates with all possible shifts, and allows also for the derivation of the light ratios of the comp...
