Four high-mass eclipsing binaries light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The surface chemical compositions of stars are affected by physical processes which bring the products of thermonuclear burning to the surface.

Description

Despite their potential in understanding the structure and evolution of stars, elemental abundances are available for only a few high-mass binary stars. We aim to enlarge this sample by determining the physical properties and photospheric abundances for four eclipsing binary systems containing high-mass stars: V1034 Sco, GL Car, V573 Car and V346 Cen.

The components have masses 8 too 17M_{sun}_ and effective temperatures from 22500 to 32200K, and are all on the main sequence. We present new high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectroscopy from High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS), and analyse them using spectral disentangling and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) spectral synthesis. We model existing light curves and new photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

We measure the stellar masses to 0.6 to 2.0% precision, radii to 0.8 to 1.7% precision, effective temperatures to 1.1 to 1.6% precision, and abundances of C, N, O, Mg and Si. The abundances are similar to those found in our previous studies of high-mass eclipsing binaries; our sample now comprises 25 high-mass stars in 13 binary systems. We also find tidally-excited pulsations in V346 Cen.

We reinforce our previous conclusions: interior chemical element transport is not as efficient in binary star components as in their single-star counterparts in the same mass regime and evolutionary stage, possibly due to the effects of tidal forces. Our ultimate goal is to provide a larger sample of OB-type stars in binaries which would enable a thorough comparison to stellar evolutionary models, as well as to single high-mass stars.
