- Description:
- About 786.4 thousand stars were observed by LAMOST twice or more during the first stage of its spectroscopic survey. The radial velocity differences for about 256 thousand targets are larger than 10km/s and they are possible spectroscopic binary or variable candidates (SBVCs). It is shown that most SBVCs are slightly metal poorer than the Sun. There are two peaks in the temperature distribution of SBVCs around 5760K and 4870K, while there are three peaks in the distribution of the gravitational acceleration at 2.461, 4.171 and 4.621cm/s^2^. The locations of SBVCs on the [Fe/H]-T, [Fe/H]-logg, logg-T and H-R diagrams are investigated. It is found that the detected SBVCs could be classified into four groups. The first group has higher logg~4.621 and lower T~4870K which are mainly cool red dwarf binaries. The second group of SBVCs has logg around 4.171cm/s^2^ that includes binaries and pulsating stars such as {delta} Sct and {gamma} Dor variables. The gravitational accelerations of the third group of SBVCs are higher and some of them are below the zero-age main sequence. They may be contact binaries in which the primary components are losing energy to the secondaries in the common envelopes and are at a special stellar evolutionary stage. The last group is composed of giants or supergiants with logg around 2.461cm/s^2^ that may be evolved pulsating stars. One target (C134624.29+333921.2) is confirmed as an eclipsing binary with a period of 0.65-days. A preliminary analysis suggests that it is a detached binary with a mass ratio of 0.46. The primary fills its critical Roche lobe by about 89%, indicating that mass transfer will occur between the two components.

- Light curves for five M-dwarf stars

- Description:
- We have derived masses and radii for both components in five short-period single-lined eclipsing binary stars discovered by the TrES wide-angle photometric survey for transiting planets. All these systems consist of a visible F-star primary and an unseen M-star secondary (M_A_>=0.8M_{sun}_, M_B_<=0.45M_{sun}_). The spectroscopic orbital solution combined with a high-precision transit light curve for each system gives sufficient information to calculate the density of the primary star and the surface gravity of the secondary. The masses of the primary stars were obtained using stellar evolution models, which requires accurate determinations of metallicities and effective temperatures.

- Description:
- We present high-resolution and high-quality UVES spectroscopic data of the metal-poor double-lined spectroscopic binary CS 22876-032 ([Fe/H] approximately -3.7dex). Our goal is to derive the ^6^Li/^7^Li isotopic ratio by analysing the LiI 670.8nm doublet. Methods. We co-added all 28 useful spectra normalised and corrected for radial velocity to the rest frame of the primary star. We fitted the Li profile with a grid of the 3D non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) synthetic spectra to take into account the line profile asymmetries induced by stellar convection, and performed Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the uncertainty of the fit of the Li line profile. We checked that the veiling factor does not affect the derived isotopic ratio, ^6^Li/^7^Li, and only modifies the Li abundance, A(Li), by about 0.15dex. The best fit of the Li profile of the primary star provides A(Li)=2.17+/-0.01dex and ^6^Li/^7^Li=8^+2^_-5_% at 68% confidence level. In addition, we improved the Li abundance of the secondary star at A(Li)=1.55+/-0.04dex, which is about 0.6 dex lower than that of the primary star. The analysis of the Li profile of the primary star is consistent with no detection of ^6^Li and provides an upper limit to the isotopic ratio of ^6^Li/^7^Li<10% at this very low metallicity, about 0.5dex lower in metallicity than previous attempts for detection of ^6^Li in extremely metal poor stars. These results do not solve or worsen the cosmological ^7^Li problem, nor do they support the need for non-standard ^6^Li production in the early Universe.

- Line identification of HD 34700
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/408/L29
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We announce the star HD 34700 to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary, and find it to be a weak-line T Tauri object. The spectra of both components are very similar and both show the Li I feature at 6708{AA}. Strong arguments in favour of the binary nature of the star as opposed to other possibilities are offered. It is very likely that the companion is also a T Tauri star of similar mass. We present, in Table 2, a list of the lines identified and the radial velocities of the two components for three epochs.

- Description:
- Eta Orionis (HD35411) is a multiple system which consists of at least four early B-type stars. In the present paper we focus on the double-lined spectroscopic eclipsing pair Aab, and in particular on component Ab, which is a remarkable intrinsically variable star. The presence of this variable in an eclipsing system enables us to determine accurately its mass, radius, inclination angle and rotation period.

- Li-rich and non-Li-rich K giants RVs
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/639/A7
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The origin of the Li-rich K giants is still highly debated. Here, we investigate the incidence of binarity among this family from a nine-year radial-velocity monitoring of a sample of 11 Li-rich K giants using the HERMES spectrograph attached to the 1.2m Mercator Telescope. A sample of 13 non-Li-rich giants (8 of them being surrounded by dust according to IRAS, WISE, and ISO data) was monitored alongside. When compared to the binary frequency in a reference sample of 190K giants (containing 17.4% of definite spectroscopic binaries - SB - and 6.3% of possible spectroscopic binaries - SB?), the binary frequency appears normal among the Li-rich giants (2/11 definite binaries plus 2 possible binaries, or 18.2% SB + 18.2% SB?), after taking account of the small sample size through the hypergeometric probability distribution. Therefore, there appears to be no causal relationship between Li enrichment and binarity. Moreover, there is no correlation between Li enrichment and the presence of circumstellar dust, and the only correlation that could be found between Li enrichment and rapid rotation is that the most Li-enriched K giants appear to be fast-rotating stars. However, among the dusty K giants, the binary frequency is much higher (4/8 definite binaries plus 1 possible binary). The remaining 3 dusty K giants suffer from a radial-velocity jitter, as is expected for the most luminous K giants, which these are.

- Description:
- We present the results of an Halpha monitoring campaign on the BeXRB and microquasar system LS I +61 303. We use radial velocity measurements of HeI lines in our spectra to reevaluate the orbital elements and to better establish the time of periastron. We list equivalent widths and other parameters for the Halpha emission line and discuss the orbital phase related variations observed.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report on a 3yr spectroscopic monitoring program of the Halpha emission in the massive X-ray binary LS I +65 010 = 2S 0114+650, which consists of a B supergiant and a slowly rotating X-ray pulsar. We present revised orbital elements that yield a period of P=11.5983+/-0.0006days and confirm that the orbit has a nonzero eccentricity e=0.18+/-0.05. The Halpha emission profile is formed in the base of the wind of the B supergiant primary, and we show how this spectral feature varies on timescales that are probably related to the rotational period of the B supergiant. We also examine the X-ray fluxes from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor instrument, and we show that the X-ray orbital light curve has a maximum at periastron and a minimum at the inferior conjunction of the B supergiant. We also show that the wind emission strength and the high-energy X-ray flux appear to vary in tandem on timescales of approximately 1yr.

- Main-sequence and subgiant Barium stars
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/626/A128
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by their binary companions when the companion was on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). This companion is now a white dwarf that in most cases cannot be directly detected. We present a large systematic study of 60 objects classified as Ba dwarfs or CH subgiants. Combining radial-velocity measurements from HERMES and SALT high-resolution spectra with radial-velocity data from CORAVEL and CORALIE, we determine the orbital parameters of 27 systems. We also derive their masses by comparing their location in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with evolutionary models. We confirm that Ba dwarfs and CH subgiants are not at different evolutionary stages, and that they have similar metallicities, despite their different names. Additionally, Ba giants appear significantly more massive than their main-sequence analogues. This is likely due to observational biases against the detection of hotter main- sequence post-mass-transfer objects. Combining our spectroscopic orbits with the Hipparcos astrometric data, we derive the orbital inclination and the mass of the WD companion for four systems. Since this cannot be done for all systems in our sample yet (but should be possible with upcoming Gaia data releases), we also analyse the mass-function distribution of our binaries. We can model this distribution with very narrow mass distributions for the two components and random orbital orientations on the sky. Finally, based on BINSTAR evolutionary models, we suggest that the orbital evolution of low-mass Ba systems can be affected by a second phase of interactions along the red giant branch of the Ba star, which impact the eccentricities and periods of the giants.

- Description:
- We report on the analysis of observations of Procyon obtained with the Multichannel Astrometric Photometer during the years 1986-2004. While the results significantly increase the precision of the estimated characteristics of the components of the system, they are generally in good agreement with the most recent studies.
