Binary systems

 

One of our on-going program is the observation of binary systems with one component chemically peculiar stars. The main goal of this project is to resolve the orbit of SB1 and/or SB2 systems by means of accurate radial velocity measurements.

The first paper of this series has been published in 1999:

Orbital elements of binary systems with a Chemically Peculiar star.
F. Leone, G. Catanzaro
1999, Astronomy and Astrophysics, 343, 273

The following pictures have been extracted from it (click to enlarge).

A new project concerns the study of SB2 systems with HgMn components. The first object analyzed was HD191110, whose radial velocities curves of both components are shown in the following figure:

 P = 9.34661 days

 e = 0.1

 w = 220°

 g = -8.31 km s-1

 mA/mB = 1.08

more details could be found in the section Abundances of this site or in the paper:

New results about the study of SB systems with a HgMn component were obtained by our group and published in:

Orbital solutions for SB2 systems with a HgMn component.
G. Catanzaro, P. Leto
2004, Astronomy and Astrophysics, 416, 661

examples of the studied systems have been reported in the following figures
