论文摘要

我们报告了ZTF J2243+5242的发现,这是一种黯然失色的双白矮人二进制,轨道时期仅为$ 8.8 $分钟,这是第二个已知的eclips二进制二进制,轨道时期少于十分钟。该系统可能由两个低质量的白色矮人组成,并将在大约400,000年内合并,形成一个孤立的热分布或R Coronae Borealis Star。就像它的$ 6.91 \,\ rm min $对应物一样,ZTF J1539+5027,ZTF J2243+5242将是可通过太空引力波检测器检测到的最强的引力波源之一,激光空间空间扰动计(LISA)是强度频率的频率,因为它的重力频率降低了lisa的峰值。基于其$ d = 2120^{+131} _ { - 115} \,\ rm PC $的估计距离,Lisa应在操作的前几个月内检测到源,并应达到四年后的信噪比为87美元\ pm5 $。我们发现$ m_a = 0.349^{+0.093} _ { - 0.074} \,m_ \ odot $和$ m_b = 0.384^{+0.114} _ { - 0.074} $ r_a = 0.0308^{+0.0026} _ { - 0.0025} \,r_ \ odot $和$ r_b = 0.0291^{+0.0032} _ { - 0.0024} $ t_a = 22200^{+1800} _ { - 1600} \,\ rm k $和$ t_b = 16200^{+1200} _ { - 1000} \,\ rm k $。我们仅使用光度测量值确定了所有这些属性,以及与该系统的距离,证明了一种可行的方法来估算大量的光学微弱($> 21 \,m _ {\ rm ab} $)重力 - 重力源,即Vera Rubin observatoration(Vro)和LISA应识别。

We report the discovery of ZTF J2243+5242, an eclipsing double white dwarf binary with an orbital period of just $8.8$ minutes, the second known eclipsing binary with an orbital period less than ten minutes. The system likely consists of two low-mass white dwarfs, and will merge in approximately 400,000 years to form either an isolated hot subdwarf or an R Coronae Borealis star. Like its $6.91\, \rm min$ counterpart, ZTF J1539+5027, ZTF J2243+5242 will be among the strongest gravitational wave sources detectable by the space-based gravitational-wave detector The Laser Space Interferometer Antenna (LISA) because its gravitational-wave frequency falls near the peak of LISA's sensitivity. Based on its estimated distance of $d=2120^{+131}_{-115}\,\rm pc$, LISA should detect the source within its first few months of operation, and should achieve a signal-to-noise ratio of $87\pm5$ after four years. We find component masses of $M_A= 0.349^{+0.093}_{-0.074}\,M_\odot$ and $M_B=0.384^{+0.114}_{-0.074}\,M_\odot$, radii of $R_A=0.0308^{+0.0026}_{-0.0025}\,R_\odot$ and $R_B = 0.0291^{+0.0032}_{-0.0024}\,R_\odot$, and effective temperatures of $T_A=22200^{+1800}_{-1600}\,\rm K$ and $T_B=16200^{+1200}_{-1000}\,\rm K$. We determined all of these properties, and the distance to this system, using only photometric measurements, demonstrating a feasible way to estimate parameters for the large population of optically faint ($r>21 \, m_{\rm AB}$) gravitational-wave sources which the Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) and LISA should identify.
