Binaries with possible compact components discovered from the LAMOST Time-Domain Survery of four $K$2 plates [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00765


Time-domain (TD) spectroscopic data from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) can provide accurate and high-cadence radial velocities (RVs). In this work, we search for binaries with compact components with RV monitoring method by using the LAMOST TD survey of four $K$2 plates. Three binary systems including an unseen white dwarf or neutron star are found. For each binary system, we estimate the stellar parameters of the visible star and orbital parameters, and finally calculate the binary mass function and the minimum mass of the unseen star. No obvious double-lined feature is seen from the LAMOST medium-resolution spectra of the three sources. In addition, we found no X-ray counterpart for all these sources but UV companions for two of them. Spectral disentangling also shows no additional component with optical absorption spectra, supporting that these systems contain compact objects.
