Hints About the Multiplicity of WR 133 Based on Multiepoch Radio
Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. wr133final c ESO 2019 April 2, 2019 Hints about the multiplicity of WR 133 based on multiepoch radio observations M. De Becker1, N. L. Isequilla1, 2, 3, P. Benaglia2, 3 1 Space sciences, Technologies and Astrophysics Research (STAR) Institute, University of Liège, Quartier Agora, 19c, Allée du 6 Août, B5c, B-4000 Sart Tilman, Belgium 2 Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía (CONICET;CICPBA), C.C. No 5, 1894, Villa Elisa, Argentina 3 Facultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísicas, UNLP, Paseo del Bosque s/n, 1900, La Plata, Argentina Received ; accepted ABSTRACT Several tens of massive binary systems display indirect, or even strong evidence for non-thermal radio emission, hence their particle accelerator status. These objects are referred to as particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries (PACWBs). WR 133 is one of the shortest period Wolf-Rayet + O systems in this category, and is therefore critical to characterize the boundaries of the parameter space adequate for particle acceleration in massive binaries. Our methodology consists in analyzing JVLA observations of WR 133 at different epochs to search for compelling evidence for a phase-locked variation attributable to synchrotron emission produced in the colliding-wind region. New data obtained during two orbits reveal a steady and thermal emission spectrum, in apparent contradiction with the previous detection of non-thermal emission. The thermal nature of the radio spectrum along the 112.4-d orbit is supported by the strong free-free absorption by the dense stellar winds, and shows that the simple binary scenario cannot explain the non-thermal emission reported previously. -
The Enigmatic WR46: a Binary Or a Pulsator in Disguise

Veen1,A.M.vanGenderen1, and K. A. van der Hucht2 1 Leiden Observatory, Postbus 9513, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 2 Space Research Organization Netherlands, Sorbonnelaan 2, 3584 CA Utrecht, The Netherlands Received 1 September 2000 / Accepted 5 November 2001 Abstract. Photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaigns of WR 46 (WN3p), as presented in Veen et al. (2002a,b; hereafter Papers I and II, respectively), yield the following results. The light- and colour variations 89 91 reveal a dominant single-wave period of Psw =0.1412 d in 1989, and Psw =0.1363 d in 1991. Because of a small difference in the minima, this periodicity may be a double-wave phenomenon (Pdw). The line fluxes vary in concert with the magnitudes. The significant difference of the periods can be either due to the occurence of two distinct periods, or due to a gradual change of the periodicity. A gradual brightening of the system of 0m. 12 appeared to accompany the period change. In addition, the light variations in 1989 show strong evidence for an additional period Px =0.2304 d. Generally, the radial velocities show a cyclic variability on a time scale of the photometric double-wave. However, often they do not vary at all. The observed variability confirms the Population I WR nature of the light source, as noted independently by Marchenko et al. (2000). In the present paper, we first show how the photometric double-wave variability can be interpreted as a rotating ellipsoidal density distribution in the stellar wind. -

In both cases, we resolve the component stars to be separated by a few milliarcseconds. The data were collected in the H-band, and provide a measure of the fractional flux for both stars in each system. We find that the WR star is the dominant H-band light source in both systems ( fWR,137 = 0.59 ± 0.04; fWR,138 = 0.67 ± 0.01), which is confirmed through both comparisons with estimated fundamental parameters for WR stars and O dwarfs, as well as through spectral modeling of each system. -
The Multiple Spectroscopic and Photometric Periods of DI Cru
The multiple spectroscopic and photometric periods of DI Cru ≡ WR 46 1 Alexandre S. Oliveira2, J. E. Steiner2 and M. P. Diaz2 [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT In an effort to determine the orbital period of the enigmatic star DI Cru ≡ WR 46 ≡ HD 104994, we made photometric and spectroscopic observations of this object between 1996 and 2002. Both photometric and spectroscopic characteristics are quite complex. The star is highly variable on short (few hours) as well as on long (few months) time-scales. The optical spectrum is rich in strong emission lines of high ionization species such as He II, N IV, N V and O VI. Weak emission of C III and Hβ is also present. Emission lines have been compiled and identified from the ultraviolet to the infrared. In the UV, emission of O V and N IV is also observed, together with very weak emission of C IV. The N V 4603+19A/He˚ II 4686A˚ line ratios vary by a significant amount from night to night. Temporal Variance Spectrum – TVS – analysis shows that the He II 4686A˚ line has P Cyg-like variable absorption, while N V 4603/19A˚ lines have a strong and broad variable component due to the continuum fluorescence from a source (stellar atmosphere/optically thick wind) of variable temperature. We also show that the object has variable degree of ionization, probably caused by wind density variation. The star presents multiple periods in radial velocity and photometry. We derived, from our data, a main radial velocity period of 0.3319 d with an amplitude of K =58kms−1. -

Appendix: Spectroscopy of Variable Stars
Appendix: Spectroscopy of Variable Stars As amateur astronomers gain ever-increasing access to professional tools, the science of spectroscopy of variable stars is now within reach of the experienced variable star observer. In this section we shall examine the basic tools used to perform spectroscopy and how to use the data collected in ways that augment our understanding of variable stars. Naturally, this section cannot cover every aspect of this vast subject, and we will concentrate just on the basics of this field so that the observer can come to grips with it. It will be noticed by experienced observers that variable stars often alter their spectral characteristics as they vary in light output. Cepheid variable stars can change from G types to F types during their periods of oscillation, and young variables can change from A to B types or vice versa. Spec troscopy enables observers to monitor these changes if their instrumentation is sensitive enough. However, this is not an easy field of study. It requires patience and dedication and access to resources that most amateurs do not possess. Nevertheless, it is an emerging field, and should the reader wish to get involved with this type of observation know that there are some excellent guides to variable star spectroscopy via the BAA and the AAVSO. Some of the workshops run by Robin Leadbeater of the BAA Variable Star section and others such as Christian Buil are a very good introduction to the field. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 M.
