The Double-Lined Spectroscopic Binary Haro 1-14c

Astrophysics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We report detection of the low-mass secondary in the spectroscopic binary Haro 1-14c in the Ophiuchus star forming region. The secondary/primary mass ratio is 0.310±0.0140.310\pm 0.014. With an estimated photometric primary mass of 1.2 MM_{\odot}, the secondary mass is 0.4M\sim 0.4 M_{\odot} and the projected semi-major axis is 1.5\sim 1.5 AU. The system is well-suited for astrometric mapping of its orbit with the current generation of ground-based IR interferometers. This could yield precision values of the system's component masses and distance.
