A spectroscopic modelling method for the detached eclipsing binaries to derive atmospheric parameters

Based on luminosity contributions, we develop aspectroscopic modelling method to derive atmospheric parameters of component stars in binary systems. The method is designed for those spectra of binaries that show double-lined features due to radial-velocity differences between the component stars. We first derive the orbital parameters and the stellar radii by solving the light and radial-velocity curves. The luminosity contributions in different phases can then be calculated. We construct a synthesised double-lined spectra model by superposing theoretical single-star spectra according to the luminosity contributions. Finally, we derive the atmospheric parameters of each component star using the model-fitting method. For multi-epoch double-lined spectra observed by the Large sky Area Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Medium Resolution Survey (R similar to 7500), our method gives robust results for detached eclipsing binary systems observed in different orbital phases. Furthermore, this method can also be applied to other spectroscopic data with different resolutions as long as the systems are detached eclipsing binaries with nearly spherical stars.

Automated summary

Based on luminosity contributions, we have developed a spectroscopic modelling method to determine the atmospheric parameters of stars in binary systems. This method is specifically designed for spectra of binaries that exhibit double-lined features due to radial-velocity differences between the component stars. The method involves deriving orbital parameters and stellar radii, calculating luminosity contributions, constructing a synthesised double-lined spectra model, and ultimately deriving atmospheric parameters using the model-fitting method. Our method provides robust results for detached eclipsing binary systems observed in different orbital phases, particularly for multi-epoch double-lined spectra obtained from the Large sky Area Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Medium Resolution Survey (R similar to 7500). Additionally, this method can be applied to other spectroscopic data with varying resolutions as long as the systems are detached eclipsing binaries with nearly spherical stars.
