4 Mar 2005 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 359 (2005) 688 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Institut d’Astrophysique et de Geophysique, Universite de Liege; Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Moscow University | | Abstract: | We present the analysis of an extensive set of high resolution spectroscopic observations of HD93161, a visual binary with a separation of 2 arcsec. HD93161 A is a spectroscopic binary, with both components clearly detected throughout the orbit. The primary star is most probably of spectral type O8V, while the secondary is likely an O9V. We obtain the first orbital solution for this system, characterized by a period of 8.566pm0.004 days. The minimum masses of the primary and secondary stars are 22.2pm0.6 M_sol and 17.0pm0.4 M_sol respectively. These values are quite large, suggesting a high inclination of the orbit. The second object, HD93161 B, displays an O6.5V((f)) spectral type and is thus slightly hotter than its neighbour. This star is at first sight single but presents radial velocity variations. We finally study HD93161 in the X-ray domain. No significant variability is detected. The X-ray spectrum is well described by a 2T model with kT_1~0.3keV and kT_2~0.7keV. The X-ray luminosity is rather moderate, without any large emission excess imputable to a wind interaction. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0503096 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
