GX Gem radial velocities and light curves

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present 12,155 new differential photometric observations in the V filter made with the Undergraduate Research Studies in Astronomy and NF\Observatory WebScopes, as well as 33 radial velocities from spectroscopic observations of the detached, 4.04 day double-lined eclipsing binary star GX Gem.

Description

Absolute dimensions of the components are determined from these new, and also from previously published, data with high precision (less than 0.7% in the masses and radii) for the purpose of testing various aspects of theoretical modeling.

We obtain 1.488+/-0.011 solar masses and 2.327+/-0.012 solar radii for the primary, and 1.467+/-0.010 solar masses and 2.238+/-0.012 solar radii for the secondary. The effective temperatures and interstellar reddening of the stars are accurately determined from the spectra, uvby{beta}, and UBV photometry: 6195+/-100K for the primary, 6165+/-100K for the secondary, corresponding to spectral types of F7 and F7 V, and 0.068mag for the color excess E(b-y).

Spectral line widths give rotational velocities that are synchronous with the mean orbital motion in a circular orbit.
