RVs and R-band obs. of the EB* V541 Cyg

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report new spectroscopic and photometric observations of the main-sequence, detached, eccentric, double-lined eclipsing binary V541Cyg (P=15.34d, e=0.468).

Description

Using these observations together with existing measurements, we determine the component masses and radii to better than 1% precision: M_1_=2.335_-0.013_^+0.017^M_{sun}_, M_2_=2.260_-0.013_^+0.016^M_{sun}_, R_1_=1.859_-0.009_^+0.012^R_{sun}_, and R_2_=1.808_-0.013_^+0.015^R_{sun}_.

The nearly identical B9.5 stars have estimated effective temperatures of 10650+/-200K and 10350+/-200K. A comparison of these properties with current stellar evolution models shows excellent agreement at an age of about 190Myr and [Fe/H]~-0.18. Both components are found to be rotating at the pseudo-synchronous rate.

The system displays a slow periastron advance that is dominated by general relativity (GR), and has previously been claimed to be slower than predicted by theory. Our new measurement, dot{omega}=0.859_-0.017_^+0.042^deg/century, has an 88% contribution from GR and agrees with the expected rate within the uncertainties. We also clarify the use of the gravity darkening coefficients in the light-curve fitting Eclipsing Binary Orbit Program (EBOP), a version of which we use here.
