- Main-sequence companions to massive Be stars

- Description:
- About 20% of all B-type stars are classical Be stars. The Be phenomenon is strongly correlated with rapid rotation, the origin of which remains unclear. It may be rooted in single- or binary-star evolution. In the framework of the binary channel, the initially more massive star transfers mass and angular momentum to the original secondary, which becomes a Be star. The system then evolves into a Be binary with a post-main-sequence companion, which may later be disrupted in a supernova event. Hence, if the binary channel dominates the formation of Be stars, one may expect a strong lack of close Be binaries with main sequence (MS) companions. Through an extensive, star-by-star review of the literature of a magnitude-limited sample of Galactic early-type Be stars, we investigate whether Be binaries with MS companions are known to exist. Our sample is constructed from the BeSS database and cross-matched with all available literature on the individual stars. Out of an initial list of 505 Be stars, we compile a final sample of 287 Galactic Be stars earlier than B1.5 with V<=12mag. Out of those, 13 objects were reported as Be binaries with known post-MS companions and 11 as binaries with unknown, uncertain or debated companions. We find no confirmed reports of Be binaries with MS companions. For the remaining 263 targets, no significant reports of multiplicity exist in the literature, implying that they are either Be binaries with faint companions, or truly single. The clear lack of reported MS companions to Be stars, which stands in contrast to the high number of detected B+B MS binaries, strongly supports the hypothesis that early-type Be stars are binary interaction products that spun up after mass and angular momentum transfer from a companion star. Taken at face value, our results may suggest that a large majority of the early-type Be stars have formed through binary mass-transfer.

- Description:
- Eclipsing binaries (EBs) with one of the companions as very low-mass stars (VLMSs; or M dwarfs) are testbeds to substantiate stellar models and evolutionary theories. Here we present four EB candidates with F-type primaries, namely, SAO 106989, HD 24465, EPIC 211682657, and HD 205403, identified from different photometry missions, SuperWASP, Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), Kepler 2 (K2), and Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO). Using the high-resolution spectrograph PRL Advanced Radial velocity Abu-sky Search at the 1.2 m telescope at Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India, we hereby report the detection of four VLMSs as companions to the four EBs. We performed spectroscopic analysis and found the companion masses to be 0.256+/-0.005, 0.233+/-0.002, 0.599+/-0.017, and 0.406+/-0.005 M_{sun}_ for SAO 106989, HD 24465, EPIC 211682657, and SAO 106989B, respectively. We determined orbital periods of 4.39790+/-0.00001, 7.19635+/-0.00002, 3.142023+/-0.000003, and 2.444949+/-0.000001 days and eccentricities of 0.248+/-0.005, 0.208+/-0.002, 0.0097+/- 0.0008, and 0.002+/-0.002 for EBs SAO 106989, HD 24465, EPIC 211682657, and HD 205403, respectively. The radii derived by modeling the photometry data are 0.326+/-0.012 R_{sun}_ for SAO 106989, 0.244+/-0.001 R_{sun}_ for HD 24465B, 0.566+/-0.005 R_{sun}_ for EPIC 211682657B, and 0.444+/-0.014 R_{sun}_ for HD 205403B. The radii of HD 24465B and EPIC 211682657B have been measured by precise Kepler photometry and are consistent with theory within the error bars. However, the radii of SAO 106989B and HD 205403B, measured by KELT and STEREO photometry, are 17%-20% higher than those predicted by theory. A brief comparison of the results of the current work is made with the M dwarfs already studied in the literature.

- Description:
- We have obtained follow-up spectroscopy of eight late dwarf candidates discovered in a 105deg^2^ area observed with the 2MASS (2 Micron All-Sky Survey) Prototype Camera during test runs between 1992 and 1994. These objects were chosen because of their red infrared colors (e.g., J-Ks>=1.10) and/or red OIR colors (e.g., R-Ks>=6.00). All eight are late M dwarfs, six of which have spectral types later than van Biesbroeck 8 (type M7 V). Despite the fact that we have only followed up a fraction of the reddest sources discovered, the number of known M dwarfs of type M7 and cooler has been increased by 30%. Extrapolation of these results alone shows that over 2000 dwarfs of similar spectral type and with Ks<=14.0 will be imaged by 2MASS over the entire sky. One of these new discoveries is astonishingly cool and has a tentative type of >=M10V. This dwarf, one of the least luminous objects yet discovered, could itself be a high-mass brown dwarf, thus providing another empirical data point in a regime where few such objects are now recognized. Only the substellar suspect GD 165 B and the bona fide brown dwarf GL 229 B, both discovered as companions to known stars, are cooler. Thus, this 2MASS discovery becomes the coolest isolated object so far identified.

- Description:
- We identify 806 ultracool dwarfs (of which 34 are newly discovered L dwarfs) from their Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) riz photometry and obtain proper motions through cross-matching with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) and Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS). Proper-motion and distance constraints show that nine of our ultracool dwarfs are members of widely separated binary systems.

- Description:
- We present the initial results of our effort to create a statistically robust, volume-limited sample of ultracool dwarfs from the Two Micron All Sky Survey Second Incremental Data Release (<II/241>). We are engaged in a multifaceted search for nearby late-type objects, and this is the first installment of our search using purely photometric selection. The goal of this work is a determination of the low-mass star and brown dwarf luminosity function in the infrared. Here we outline the construction of the sample, dubbed 2MU2, and present our first results, including the discovery of 186 M7-L6 dwarfs, 47 of which are likely to be within 20pc of the Sun. These results represent 66% of the ultracool candidates in our sample yet constitute a 127% increase in the number of ultracool dwarfs known within the volume searched (covering 40% of the sky out to 20pc). In addition, we have identified 10 M4-M6.5 objects that are likely to be within 20pc (or within 1{sigma}). Finally, based on these initial data, we present a preliminary luminosity function and discuss several interesting features of the partial sample presented here. Once our sample is complete, we will use our measured luminosity function to constrain the mass function of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs.

- Description:
- We present a spectroscopic catalog of 93 619 M dwarfs from the first data release of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) general survey. During sample selection, M giant contamination was eliminated using 2MASS photometry and CaH/TiO molecular indices. For each spectrum, the spectral subtype and values are provided including radial velocity, H{alpha} equivalent width, a series of prominent molecular band indices, and the metal-sensitive parameter {zeta}, as well as distances and the space motions for high S/N objects. In addition, H{alpha} emission lines are measured to examine the magnetic activity properties of M dwarfs and 7179 active ones are found. In particular, a subsample with significant variation in magnetic activity is revealed through observations from different epochs. Finally, statistical analysis for this sample is performed, including the metallicity classification, the distribution of molecular band indices and their errors.

- Description:
- Binary stars make up a significant portion of all stellar systems. Consequently, an understanding of the bulk properties of binary stars is necessary for a full picture of star formation. Binary surveys indicate that both multiplicity fraction and typical orbital separation increase as functions of primary mass. Correlations with higher-order architectural parameters such as mass ratio are less well constrained. We seek to identify and characterize double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2s) among the 1350 M-dwarf ancillary science targets with APOGEE spectra in the SDSS-III Data Release 13. We measure the degree of asymmetry in the APOGEE pipeline cross-correlation functions (CCFs) and use those metrics to identify a sample of 44 high-likelihood candidate SB2s. At least 11 of these SB2s are known, having been previously identified by Deshpande et al. (2013, J/AJ/146/156) and/or El-Badry et al. (2018MNRAS.476..528E). We are able to extract radial velocities (RVs) for the components of 36 of these systems from their CCFs. With these RVs, we measure mass ratios for 29 SB2s and five SB3s. We use Bayesian techniques to fit maximum-likelihood (but still preliminary) orbits for four SB2s with eight or more distinct APOGEE observations. The observed (but incomplete) mass-ratio distribution of this sample rises quickly toward unity. Two-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests find probabilities of 18.3% and 18.7%, demonstrating that the mass-ratio distribution of our sample is consistent with those measured by Pourbaix et al. (2004, Cat. B/sb9) and Fernandez et al. (2017PASP..129h4201F), respectively.

- Description:
- In young Sun-like stars and field M-dwarf stars, chromospheric and coronal magnetic activity indicators such as H{alpha}, X-ray, and radio emission are known to saturate with low Rossby number (Ro<~0.1), defined as the ratio of rotation period to convective turnover time. The mechanism for the saturation is unclear. In this paper, we use photospheric TiI and CaI absorption lines in the Y band to investigate magnetic field strength in M dwarfs for Rossby numbers between 0.01 and 1.0. The equivalent widths of the lines are magnetically enhanced by photospheric spots, a global field, or a combination of the two. The equivalent widths behave qualitatively similar to the chromospheric and coronal indicators: we see increasing equivalent widths (increasing absorption) with decreasing Ro and saturation of the equivalent widths for Ro<~0.1. The majority of M dwarfs in this study are fully convective. The results add to mounting evidence that the magnetic saturation mechanism occurs at or beneath the stellar photosphere.
