Notes on the disentangling of spectra I. Enhancement in precision

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v1 Solar and Stellar Astrophysics

Abstract

Context: The technique of disentangling has been applied to numerous high-precision studies of spectroscopic binaries and multiple stars. Although, its possibilities have not yet been fully understood and exploited. Aims: Theoretical background aspects of the method, its latest improvements and hints for its use in practice are explained in this series of papers. Methods: In this first paper of the series, we discuss spectral-resolution limitations due to a discrete representation of the observed spectra and introduce a new method how to achieve a precision higher than the step of input-data binning. Results: Based on this principle, the latest version of the KOREL code for Fourier disentangling achieves an increase in precision for an order of magnitude.
