Mass determinations of PMS stars with the VLTI F.Cusano, E.W.Guenther, M.Esposito, B.Stecklum TLS-Tautenburg, Germany R.Mundt Max-Planck-Institut fϋr Astronomie, Hiedelberg, Germany E.Covino, J.M.Alcalà Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte, Napoli, Italy The main aim of our work: to test and calibrate the PMS evolutionary tracks ★ The importance to confirm the best theoretical model • to put constraints on stellar interior’ theories • to get the masses of PMS stars using the HR diagram • precise determination of the IMFs and age for the star forming regions and clusters → important step in the theories of stellar Galactic formation (Preibisch et al. 2002) Knowledge of PMS stars masses up to now Mass determination • • • • SB2 + AMBER data SB1 + AMBER data + distance SB1 → SB2 CRIRES Future PRIMA We need an input catalogue of suitable binaries Our survey in the southern sky • 122 late pms investigated in five star-forming regions: Chamaeleon d ~ 165 pc Corona Australis d ~ 170 pc ρ Ophiuchi d ~ 160 pc Lupus d ~ 150 pc Sco-Cen d ~ 140 pc • PMS fainter that K=10 mag or that are visual binaries or have a v sin i > 50 km/s are unsuitable Observations: FEROS spectrograph ESO La Silla Site (Chile) ESO 1.52 m telescope 8 years , 11 runs, ~ 50 nights, ~1500 spectra for 120 targets. Spectral coverage : λ= 3500 9200 Å Resolution: R 48000 MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope What do we mean for suitable ? • The stars of the SBs should be well separeted to be observed with AMBER ( ~ 4 mas, 0.6 AU@150 pc, P ~ 120 d m1= m2 = 1M◉)→ should have orbital periods: • > 50 days to be resolvable with AMBER • < 3000 days to try to cover a whole period Results: the 14 targets (+1) HD 113449 0.13±0.01 G5 5.51±0.02 13 03 50 -05 09 42 SB1 double system discovered with HARPS (during exo-planet survey) 215 The SB1 that will be observed in the P79 with AMBER Orbital Mass-determination: parameters: PV=2 → 215.0± Sr and 0.7days Sd e =0.281 ± 0.03 aSr = BX i =0.243 + GY ± 0.05 AU 1 sin f(m) Sd==0.042 AX + FY ± 0.003 X=cos E –e Y=sinE(1-e2)½ B,G,A,F (a”, ω, Ω, i) Thiele-Innes constans We know a sin i and f(m) with i and the distance, using also the 3° law of kepler→M1 and M2 Results and future prospectives • In an 8 years campaign of spectroscopical observations we have discovered 9 PMS SB with period > 50 days that are suitable for observations with AMBER • We already had observations of BS Indi (K=6.6 mag) with AMBER but the signal resulted to be too faint (+ no standard observed) • In this period our brightest (HD113449) candidate will be observed with AMBER • We hope to observe all targets with the VLTI (UTs or ATs + fringe tracker) to put constraints on the PMS evolutionary tracks
