CHIRON radial velocities of 5 Be+sdO binaries

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Close binary interactions may play a critical role in the formation of the rapidly rotating Be-stars.

Description

Mass transfer can result in a mass gainer star spun up by the accretion of mass and angular momentum, while the mass donor is stripped of its envelope to form a hot and faint helium star. Far-UV spectroscopy has led to the detection of about 20 such binary Be+sdO systems.

Here we report on a 3yr program of high-quality spectroscopy designed to determine the orbital periods and physical properties of five Be-binary systems. These binaries are long orbital period systems with P=95-237days and small semiamplitude K1<11km/s. We combined the Be star velocities with prior sdO measurements to obtain mass ratios.

A Doppler tomography algorithm shows the presence of the HeII{lambda}4686-line in the faint spectrum of the hot companion in four of the targets. We discuss the observed line variability and show evidence of phase-locked variations in the emission profiles of HD157832, suggesting a possible disk spiral density wave due to the presence of the companion star. The stripped companions in HD113120 and HD137387 may have a mass larger than 1.4M{sun}, indicating that they could be progenitors of Type Ib and Ic supernovae.
