Studies of Two Massive Eclipsing Double-lined Spectroscopic Binaries
Abstract
As part of an ongoing investigation into the spectroscopic variability of massive stars, we present preliminary results for two double-lined eclipsing binary systems, HD 130146 (VZ Cen) and LS 3052 (V 1176 Cen). In our analysis we used archival Hipparcos photometry for HD 103146 and All Sky Automated Survey V-band photometry for LS 3052. All spectra were obtained from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory 1.5-m telescope. The systems were analyzed using the Eclipsing Light Curve code (ELC; Orosz & Hauschildt 2000). A combined analysis of these data yields masses, radii, effective temperatures, gravities, and estimates for the ages and distances of each system. HD 103146 is a 4.9 day binary with a slightly evolved primary (T_{eff} 28000 K and log g 3.75) while the secondary nearly fills its Roche lobe. LS 3052 has an eccentric orbit with a period of 31 days and contains both an evolved primary and secondary. Preliminary solutions indicate the primary's mass to be 33 Mo with a 21 Mo secondary.
