Binary star speckle measurements at Calar Alto. I.

Abstract: Abstract. We present the first results of our speckle interferometric measurements of binary stars made with the ICCD speckle camera using the 1.52-m telescope of the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional at Calar Alto (Spain) in September, 1999. The data contain 123 observations of 83 systems. The measured angular separations range from 0. 153 to 6. 727. We have used there new speckle measurements to improve the orbital elements for the binaries COU 247 and BU 524 AB.

“…In addition to that, Docobo et al (2001) pointed out that the study of orbital motion of visual and interferometric pairs remains an important astronomical discipline. The visual binaries are the main key source of information about stellar masses and distances, and they define practically our understanding of stellar physical properties especially for the lower part of the main sequence stars .…”

“…The observations span T ∼ 877 days, a small amount compared to the orbital period of P 1 ∼ 31.528 yr. Covariances between P 1 , e 1 , and a 1 are extremely strong. Using values from Docobo et al (2001), both P 1 (31.528 yr) and e 1 (0.753) are fixed (Q A = 5, Q B = 8). The system distance is assumed to be 72.1 pc from the Hipparcos parallax; combining this with the orbital period and semimajor axis an average component mass of 2.1M ⊙ is computed and these values are used in converting tertiary mass to a 2 .…”

“…This paper is the part of a series dedicated to the speckle interferometric observations of visual binaries carried out in recent years by the research team of the R. M. Aller Astronomical Observatory of the University of Santiago de Compostela (Docobo et al 2001(Docobo et al , 2006 in collaboration with the Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO, Russia). The ultimate goal of these studies is to obtain new orbital parameters and dynamical and individual masses for mostly (but not only) latetype close visual binaries or to improve already existing ones.…”
