Abstract:
The formation mechanism of hot horizontal branch (HB) stars is still
one of the most uncertain points of stellar evolution theories. In the
past decade, models based on their binary origin have been very
successful in reproducing the properties of field subdwarf-B stars,
but the observations of their analogues in globular clusters has posed
new problems. In addition, the discovery of multiple populations
offered an appealing alternative scenario for the formation of these
stars.
We search for binaries of period P≤200days among a sample of 83 blue
horizontal branch stars (Teff=12000-22000K) in NGC 2808, a cluster
known to host three distinct stellar populations and a multimodal
horizontal branch. The final sample, after the rejection of stars with
incomplete observations or poor quality data, consists of 64 targets.
The radial velocity of the targets was measured in fourteen epochs,
spanning a temporal interval of ∼75days. The significant variations
were identified by means of a detailed error analysis and a
statistical study.
Description:
Twenty-four single spectra of target stars were collected in fourteen
epochs between January 11 and March 24, 2007, with the GIRAFFE
spectrograph at the VLT-UT2 telescope, in both visitor and service
mode.
