Abstract

Using all available minimum times of Algol-type eclipsing binary UU And, Observed(O) - Calculated (C) based orbital period analysis of UU And is presented in this study. O-C diagram of UU And is represented by cyclic variation superimposed on an upward parabolic variation. The upward parabolic variation was modelled by assuming non-conservative mass transfer from the less massive to the more massive component to explain the secular period increase of the system. The rate of fractional mass transfer (β) was calculated to be 0.947. Cyclic O-C variation at period of 14 years was detected in the diagram. Light travel time effect (LTTE) caused by additional body in the system was assumed in order to explain the cyclic O-C variation. Using the mass function obtained from O-C analysis, the possible mass of the third component was found to be in the order of solar mass. Such a massive additional body show itself distinctly in the light curve of UU And. On the contrary, no light contribution from an additional body has been detected in the literature so far. Therefore, we conclude that precise high resolution spectroscopic observations are required in order to clarify the existence of a third body and/or magnetic cycle, which may also give rise to cyclic O-C variation in the binary star system.

Algol-türü Örten Çift UU And'ın O-C Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Algol türü örten çift yıldız sistemi olan UU And'ın mevcut tüm minimum zamanları kullanılarak, ele alınan çift yıldız sisteminin gözlenen (O) – hesaplanan (C) tabanlı yörünge dönem analizi sunulmuştur. UU And sisteminin O-C diyagramı, yukarı yönlü parabolik değişim üzerine binmiş bir sinüzoidal değişim ile temsil edilmiştir. Sistemde tespit edilen düzenli yörünge dönem artışını açıklayabilmek için, yukarı yönlü olan parabolik O-C değişimi, küçük kütleli bileşenden büyük kütleli bileşene korunumlu olmayan kütle aktarımı mekanizması kabulü altında modellenmiştir. Bu kabul altında bileşenler arası kesirsel kütle aktarım hızı (β) 0.947 olarak hesaplanmıştır. UU And sistemin O-C diyagramında, 14 yıl kadar döneme sahip bir çevrimsel değişim tespit edilmiştir. O-C veri setinde görülen bu sinüzoidal değişimi açıklayabilmek için çift yıldız sisteminde görülemeyen üçüncü cisim kaynaklı ışık zaman etkisi (LTTE) kabulü yapılmıştır. LTTE kabulü altında yapılan O-C analizi sonucu elde edilen kütle fonksiyonu kullanılarak, UU And sistemine fiziksel olarak bağlı üçüncü bileşenin olası kütlesi oldukça büyük bir mertebe olan güneş kütlesi mertebesinde bulunmuştur. Bunun aksine, literatürde herhangi bir üçüncü cisim kaynaklı ışık katkısı henüz tespit edilememiştir. Tüm bu nedenlerden dolayı, üçüncü cismin mevcudiyetinin ve/veya çevrimsel O-C değişimini meydana getirebilecek olası bir manyetik çevrimin açığa kavuşturulabilmesi için, bu çift yıldız sisteminin yüksek çözünürlüklü hassas tayf gözlemlerine ihtiyaç vardır.
