The radial-velocity curves of optical components in X-ray binary systems can differ from the radial-velocity curves of their barycenters due to tidal distortion, gravitational darkening, X-ray heating, etc. This motivated us to investigate how the semi-amplitudes of the radial-velocity curves of these optical components can depend on the binary-system parameters in a Roche model. The K correction is taken to be the ratio of the radial velocity semi-amplitude for a star in the Roche model to the corresponding value for the stellar barycenter. K corrections are tabulated for the optical stars in the massive X-ray binaries Cen X-3, LMC X-4, SMC X-1, Vela X-1, and 4U 1538-52.  相似文献

We have analyzed high-precision vby light curvesfor the semi-detached binary V Pup in a Roche model. They are consistent with the standard gravitational darkening coefficient for hot stars, β = 0.25, rather than the value β = 1.36 ± 0.04 derived by Kitamura and Nakamura [1] using a simpler model. We rigorously estimate the confidence intervals for the allowed gravitational darkening coefficients for a star filling its Roche lobe to be β = (?0.24, +1.29) for the 99% confidence level and β = (?0.21, +1.26) for the 67% confidence level.  相似文献

We have carried out three-dimensional hydrodynamical modeling of the process of circularization in close binary systems with fully convective components that are close to filling their Roche lobes. The computations are based on the smooth-particle (SPH) method and were carried out for the case of eccentricities less than 0.1 on the dynamical time scale. We find that the circularization time in such systems should be of the order of hundreds of orbital periods.  相似文献

The evolution of the components of the unique, massive, close binary system NGC 3603-A1, which consists of stars of spectral types WN6ha and WN6h, is analyzed. The component masses are estimated to be 116 and 89M , close to the highest measured stellar masses. Numerical modeling of the evolution of the components has been carried out, taking into account mass loss via the stellar winds of the two massive stars. It is shown that the maximum possible initial component masses are close to 140 and 125M . The components are currently slightly evolved main-sequence stars, with a comparative low degree of helium enrichment at their surfaces. Further evolution of the system will lead to filling of the Roche lobe of the primary and subsequent evolution in a common envelope. This may lead to the merger of the components, with the evolution of the system ending in the formation of a singlemassive black hole after the second supernova explosion. Otherwise, depending on the masses of the resulting black holes, either a binary system of two black holes or two unbound black holes may form, accompanied by gamma-ray bursts.  相似文献

We describe the results of a statistical approach to analyzing the combined radial-velocity curves of X-ray binaries with OB supergiants in a Roche model, both with and without allowance for the anisotropy of the stellar wind. We present new mass estimates for the X-ray pulsars in the close binary systems Cen X-3, LMC X-4, SMC X-1, 4U 1538-52, and Vela X-1.  相似文献

We present an algorithm for the synthesis of the light curve of a close binary system consisting of a red dwarf that fills its Roche lobe and a spherical white dwarf. The spherical component is surrounded by an elliptical accretion disk with a complex shape, geometrically thin near the spherical star and geometrically thick at the edge of the disk. The model is able to describe the shape of the secondary minimum in the light curve of the eclipsing variable KU Cyg, which has not been possible using other models.  相似文献

We derive the parameters of the hot, massive close binary system UU Cas from earlier and recent photoelectric UBVR observations: M 1 = 34.5M , M 2 = 25.7M , A = 69R , and i=68°; the components' limb darkening coefficients are close to 1. Our fitting of the light curves provides evidence for a high degree of over-contact: the components fill their inner critical surfaces by 132% and 100%. It is possible that the appearance of the light curve is determined not only by the distorted shapes of the components and their eclipses but, to a considerable extent, by screening by a complex envelope and the envelope's contribution to the system's total luminosity.  相似文献

The structure ofmatter flows in close binary systems in which one of the components is a rapidly rotating magnetic white dwarf is studied. Themain example considered is the AEAquarii system; the period of the white dwarf’s rotation is about a factor of 1000 shorter than the orbital period, and the magnetic field on the white-dwarf surface is of order 50MG. The matter flows in this system were analyzed via numerical solution of a systemofmagnetohydrodynamical equatons. These computations show that the white dwarf’s magnetic field does not significantly influence the velocity field of the matter in its Roche lobe in the case of a laminar flow regime, so that the field does not hinder the formation of a transient disk (ring) surrounding the magnetosphere. However, the efficiency of the energy and angular-momentum exchange between the white dwarf and the surrounding matter increases considerably with the development of turbulent motions in the matter, accelerating the matter at the magnetosphere boundary and leading to a high escape rate from the system. The time scales for the system’s transition between the laminar and turbulent modes are close to those for the transition of AE Aquarii between its quiet and active phases.  相似文献

We have analyzed the evolution of the components of the unique massive binary system WR 20a, which consists of a Wolf-Rayet nitrogen star and an Of star with an extremely small separation. The estimated masses of the components are 83 and 82 M , which are among the highest stellar mass inferred. We have carried out numerical modeling of the evolution of the components, taking into account the mass loss due to the stellar wind inherent to massive stars. In a scenario in which the systemis detached from the time the components reach the main sequence until its present state, the initial component masses are inferred to be close to 110 M , if the initial masses of the stars were equal, or 120 and 100 M , if they were different. Currently, the components are evolved main-sequence stars, whose surfaces are relatively little enriched by helium. The further evolution of the system will result in one of the components filling its Roche lobe and evolution within a common envelope. As a result, the components may coalesce, leading to the formation of a single massive black hole the supernova explosion. Otherwise, depending on the masses of the resulting black holes, either a binary system with two black holes or two free black holes will be formed. In the latter case, gamma-ray bursts will be observed.  相似文献

We have obtained the first U BV R photoelectric light curves for a recently discovered eclipsing binary with a period of 9.33 d and an appreciable eccentricity (e = 0.08). We have used these data to determine the photometric elements of the system for a model with two spherical stars with linear limb darkening. The high accuracy of the observations enabled determination of the absolute parameters of the components using available calibrations. The masses of the components are 1.28 and 1.08 M , and their ages are two billion years. The present orientation of the orbital ellipse is unfavorable for studies of the apsidal rotation, which is essentially due to relativistic effects.  相似文献

A dynamical estimate of the mass of the black hole in the LMC X-1 binary system is obtained in the framework of a Roche model for the optical star, based on fitting of the He I 4471 Å and He II 4200 Å absorption lines assuming LTE. The mass of the black hole derived from the radial-velocity curve for the He II 4200 Å line is mx = 10.55 M, close to the value found earlier based on a model with two point bodies [1].  相似文献

An algorithm is presented for the synthesis of the light curve of a close binary system consisting of a red dwarf that fills its Roche lobe and a spherical white dwarf. The spherical component is surrounded by an elliptical, geometrically thick accretion disk. The code models an extended shock located along the edge of the stream near the outer boundary of the disk. The observational manifestations of the shock show that it can be considered as an analog of a hot spot at the edge of the disk. Synthetic light curves for the SU UMa system OY Car at various phases of its activity indicate that the model can describe both typical and peculiar light curves for this cataclysmic variable reasonably well.  相似文献

The evolution of close binary systems containing Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and black holes (BHs) is analyzed numerically. Both the stellar wind from the donor star itself and the induced stellar wind due to irradiation of the donor with hard radiation arising during accretion onto the relativistic component are considered. The mass and angular momentum losses due to the stellar wind are also taken into account at phases when the WR star fills its Roche lobe. It is shown that, if a WR star with a mass higher than ~10M fills its Roche lobe in an initial evolutionary phase, the donor star will eventually lose contact with the Roche lobe as the binary loses mass and angular momentum via the stellar wind, suggesting that the semi-detached binary will become detached. The star will remain a bright X-ray source, since the stellar wind that is captured by the black hole ensures a near-Eddington accretion rate. If the initial mass of the helium donor is below ~5M , the donor may only temporarily detach from its Roche lobe. Induced stellar wind plays a significant role in the evolution of binaries containing helium donors with initial masses of ~2M . We compute the evolution of three observed WR-BH binaries: Cyg X-3, IC 10 X-1, and NGC 300 X-1, as well as the evolution of the SS 433 binary system, which is a progenitor of such systems, under the assumption that this binary will avoid a common-envelope stage in its further evolution, as it does in its current evolutionary phase.  相似文献

A star located in the close vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a galactic nucleus or a globular-cluster core could form a close binary with the SMBH, with the star possibly filling its Roche lobe. The evolution of such binary systems is studied assuming that the SMBH mainly accretes matter from the companion star and that the presence of gas in the vicinity of the SMBH does not appreciably influence variations in the star’s orbit. The evolution of the star–SMBH system is mainly determined by the same processes as those determining the evolution of ordinary binaries. The main differences are that the star is subject to an incident flux of hard radiation arising during the accretion of matter by the SMBH, and, in detached systems, the SMBH captures virtually all the wind emitted by its stellar companion, which appreciably influences the evolution of the major axis of the orbit. Moreover, the exchange between the orbital angular momentum and the angular momentum of the overflowing matter may not be entirely standard in such systems. The computations assume that there will be no such exchange of angular momentum if the characteristic timescale for mass transfer is shorter than the thermal time scale of the star. The absorption of external radiation in the stellar envelope was computed using the same formalism applied when computing the opacity of the stellar matter. The numerical simulations show that, with the adopted assumptions, three types of evolution are possible for such a binary system, depending on the masses and the initial separation of the SMBH and star. Type I evolution leads to the complete destruction of the star. Only this type of evolution is realized for low-mass main-sequence (MS) stars, even those with large initial separations from their SMBHs. Massive MS stars will also be destroyed if the initial separation is sufficiently small. However, two other types of evolution are possible for massive stars, with a determining role in the time variations of the parameters of the star–SMBH system being played by the possible growth of the massive star into a red giant during the time it is located in the close vicinity of the SMBH. Type II evolution can be realized for massive MS stars that are initially farther from the SMBH than in the case of disruption. In this case, the massive star fills its Roche lobe during its expansion, but is not fully destroyed; the star retreats inside its Roche lobe after a period of intense mass loss. This type of evolution is characterized by an increase in the orbital period of the system with time. As a result, the remnant of the star (its former core) is preserved as a white dwarf, and can end up at a fairly large distance from the SMBH. Type III evolution can be realized formassiveMSstars that are initially located still farther from their SMBHs, and also for massive stars that are already evolved at the initial time. In these cases, the star moves away from the SMBH without filling its Roche lobe, due to its intense stellar wind. The remnants of such stars can also end up at a fairly large distances from their SMBHs.  相似文献

The structures of plasma flows in close binary systems whose accretors have strong intrinsic magnetic fields are studied. A close binary system with the parameters of a typical polar is considered. The results of three-dimensional numerical simulations of the matter flow from the donor into the accretor Roche lobe are presented. Special attention is given to the flow structure in the vicinity of the inner Lagrangian point, where the accretion flow is formed. The interaction of the accretion-flow material from the donor’s envelope with the magnetic field of the accretor results in the formation of a hierarchical structure of the magnetosphere, because less dense areas of the accretion flow are stopped by the magnetic field of the white dwarf earlier than more dense regions. Taking into account this kind of magnetosphere structure can affect analysis results and interpretation of the observations.  相似文献

We have acquired three-color observations of BE UMa, a precataclysmic eclipsing variable with a strong reflection effect. Using new photoelectric U BV data and archival photographic observations, we have refined the orbital period and demonstrated that the eclipse depth changes with wavelength. The photometric data are used to compute a model for the system. Computations show that the nuclear evolution time for the secondary is only slightly less than the time for the separation of the components to change due to the loss of orbital angular momentum. Therefore, the red dwarf in the BE UMa system will later fill its Roche lobe because of (1) the decrease in component separation due to the loss of energy and angular momentum via gravitational-wave radiation or the outflow of a magnetic stellar wind and (2) the increase in the red dwarf’s radius due to its nuclear evolution.  相似文献

Three-dimensional numerical hydrodynamical modeling of a radiative wind and accretion disk in a close binary system with a compact object is carried out, using the massive X-ray binary LMC X-3 as an example. This system contains a precessing disk, and may have relativistic jets. These computations show that an accretion disk with a radius of about 0.20 (in units of the component separation) forms from the radiative wind from the donor when the action of the wind on the central source is taken into account, when the accretion rate is equal to the observed value (about 3.0 × 10?8 M /year, which corresponds to the case when the donor overflows its Roche lobe by nearly 1%). It is assumed that the speed of the donor wind at infinity is about 2200 km/s. The disk that forms is geometrically thick and nearly cylindrical in shape, with a low-density tunnel at its center extending from the accretor through the disk along the rotational axis. We have also modeled a flare in the disk due to short-term variations in the supply of material through the Lagrange point L1, whose brightnesses and durations are able to explain flares in cataclysmic variables and X-ray binaries. The accretion disk is not formed when the donor underfills its Roche lobe by 0.5%, which corresponds to an accretion rate onto the compact object of 2.0 × 10?9 M /year. In place of a disk, an accretion envelope with a radius of about 0.03 forms, within which gas moves along very steep spiral trajectories before falling onto the compact object. As in the accretion-disk case, a tunnel forms along the rotational axis of the accretion envelope; a shock forms behind the accretor, where flares occur in a compact region a small distance from the accretor at a rate of about six flares per orbital period, with amplitudes of about 10 m or more. The flare durations are two to four minutes, and the energies of individual particles at the flare maximum are about 100–150 keV. These flares appear to be analogous to the flares observed in gamma-ray and X-ray burst sources. We accordingly propose a model in which these phenomena are associated with massive, close X-ray binary systems with component-mass ratios exceeding unity, in which the donor does not fill its Roche lobe. Although no accretion disk forms around the compact object, an accretion region develops near the accretor, where the gamma-ray and X-ray flares occur.  相似文献

We consider the evolution of binary systems formed by a Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) residing in the center of a galaxy or a globular cluster and a star in its immediate vicinity. The star is assumed to fill its Roche lobe, and the SMBH accretes primarily the matter of this star. The evolution of such a system is mainly determined by the same processes as for an ordinary binary. The main differences are that the donor star is irradiated by hard radiation emitted during accretion onto the SMBH; in a detached system, nearly all the donor wind is captured by the black hole, which strongly affects the evolution of the semi-major axis; it is not possible for companions of the most massive SMBHs to fill their Roche lobes, since the corresponding orbital separations are smaller than the radius of the last stable orbit in the gravitational field of the SMBH. Moreover, there may not be efficient exchange between the orbital angular momentum and the angular momentum of the overflowing matter in such systems. Our computations assumed that, if the characteristic timescale for mass transfer is smaller than the thermal timescale of the star, no momentum exchange occurs. Absorption of incident external radiation in the stellar envelope was treated using the same formalism that was used when computing the radiative transfer in the stellar atmosphere. Numerical simulations show that Roche-lobe overflow is possible for a broad range of initial system parameters. The evolution of semi-detached systems containing a star and a SMBH nearly always ends with the dynamical disruption of the star. Stars with masses close to the solar mass are destroyed immediately after they fill their Roche lobes. During the accretion of matter of disrupted stars, the SMBH can achieve quasar luminosities. If the SMBH accretes ambient gas as well as gas stripped from stars, the star is subject to additional radiation in the detached phase of its evolution, strengthening its stellar wind. This leads to an increase of the semi-major axis and subsequent decrease of the probability of Roche-lobe overflow during the subsequent evolution of the system.  相似文献
