Differential BV photometry of VV Crv

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have obtained red-wavelength spectroscopy and Johnson B and V differential photoelectric photometry of the eclipsing binary VV Crv=HR 4821.

Description

The system is the secondary of the common proper motion double star ADS 8627, which has a separation of 5.2". VV Crv has an orbital period of 3.144536 days and a low but non-zero eccentricity of 0.085.

With the Wilson-Devinney program we have determined a simultaneous solution of our spectroscopic and photometric observations. Those orbital elements produce masses of M_1_=1.978+/-0.010M_{sun}_ and M_2_=1.513+/-0.008M_{sun}_, and radii of R_1_=3.375+/-0.010R_{sun}_ and R_2_=1.650+/-0.008R_{sun}_for the primary and secondary, respectively. The effective temperatures of the two components are 6500K (fixed) and 6638K, so the star we call the primary is the more massive but cooler and larger component.

A comparison with evolutionary tracks indicates that the components are metal rich with [Fe/H]=0.3, and the system has an age of 1.2Gyr. The primary is near the end of its main-sequence lifetime and is rotating significantly faster than its pseudosynchronous velocity. The secondary is still well ensconced on the main sequence and is rotating more slowly than its pseudosynchronous rate.
