1.Abstract

Masayuki Ishida (Moriyama ,Shiga) sent me a .CSV file of his observation of a double-star SAO118981. And I also observed same event at Ikeda-Town, Nagano Pref.. I analyzed these observations using Limovie. The result of astrometry and photometry are as follows.

Va : Velocity as angle (“/sec)CCT : Contact AngleRV : Radial Velocity

Ds : Moon distance

Then moon velocity V (m/sec) is calculated as follows.

RV = cos(CCT)* Va

Va = RV / abs(cos(CCT))

= 0.218 / abs(cos(+51))

= 0.3464 ("/sec)

V = Ds*π*Va/(180*3600)

Ds = 404564(km)

V = 404564(*0.3464*pi()/(180*3600)

= 679 m/sec


Va : Velocity as angle (“/sec)CCT : Contact AngleRV : Radial Velocity

Ds : Moon distance

Then moon velocity V (m/sec) is calculated as follows.

RV = cos(CCT)* Va

Va = RV / abs(cos(CCT))

= 0.151 / abs(cos(+64))

= 0.3445 ("/sec)

V = Ds*π*Va/(180*3600)

Ds = 404576(km)

V = 404576(*0.3445*pi()/(180*3600)

= 676 m/sec

First star : No.282 Frame -11 millisecond +/- 2 millisecond

Time of TIVi (centre of frame) is No.282=10h42m12.23s then event time is 10h42m12.22s

Hence, the event time is 10h52m10.190sSecond star : No.343 Frame -13 millisecond +/- 10 millisecond

Time of TIVi (centre of frame) is No.343=10h42m14.27s then event time is 10h42m14.26s

Time Difference = 61 Frames – 2 millisecond = 61 / 29.97 – 0.002 second = 2.035 – 0.002 = 2.033 second

Time of KIWI-OSD are .. at field start :10h52m12.363s, at field end : 10h52m12.396s. Then centre of field is 10h52m12.380s .

Hence, the event time is 10h52m12.380s

Time Difference = 2.190 second

Fig.7 Position of component and lunar limb

Case of b2>b1

From Fig6

b1=a*sin A --------------(1)

b2=a*sin(A+P1-P2) --------(2)

C=P1-P2

b2=a*sin(A+C)

=a*(sinA*cosC+cosA*sinC)

=a*sinA*cosC+a*cosA*sinC --(3)

From (1)

a = b1/sinA --------------(4)

put into (3)

b2 = (b1/sinA)*sinA*cosC

+(b1/sinA)*cosA*sinC

b2 = b1*cosC+b1*(1/tanA)*sinC

b2 = b1*cosC+b1*sinC/tanA

b2 = b1(cosC+sinC/tanA)

b2/b1 = cosC + sinC/tanA

b2/b1 - cosC = sinC/tanA

(b2/b1 - cosC)/sinC = 1/tanA

tanA = sinC/(b2/b1 - cosC) --(5)

put A into (4) and obtain

separation a.

Hence Position Angle P is

P=90-(p1+A) ----------------(6)


In the case of b1>b2 then

a=b2/sinA ----------------(4)

tanA = sinC/(b1/b2 - cosC) –-(5)

P=90+p2-A ----------------(6)


P1=82 , P2=68 then C is

C=-26 = 14

b1=0.218*2.190=0.4774

b2=0.151*2.033=0.3070

this case is b1>b2 then

tan A = sin14 / (0.4811/0.3070 – cos 14) = 0.4137

A = 22.48

P=90+68-22=136

a=b2/sinA=0.3070/0.3823=0.8030

then

Separation = 0.80 (arcsec)

Position Angle = 136 (degree)

These values are well corresponding to the description of catalog .


6. Magnitude of stars


from Konohama obs.

from Ikeda Nagano

Lunimous of pair : 1381.9

Step : average(119.7,113.0) = 116.4

Background : 17.0

Luminous of first star = 1381.9-116.4=1265.5

Luminous of second star=116.4-17.0=99.4

Lunious of pair = 1381.9 – 17 = 1364.9

from the canalog the pair is 6.92 .. (Tycho2)

from the formula m1-m2 = 2.5 log(b2-b1) = 2.5 log()

The difference in magnitude of the two star is ..

m1-m2 = 2.5 log(b2/b1)

= 2.5 * log(1265.5/99.4) =2.76

if the magnitude of the pair is 6.94 then the magnitude of first star is ..

m1-6.94=2.5*log(1364.9/1265.5)=0.08

m1=7.02

then the magnitude of second star is 9.78

Lunimous of pair : 306.0

Step : average(14.0,16.5) = 15.3

Background : 1.9

Luminous of first star = 306.0-15.3=290.7

Luminous of second star=15.3-1.9=13.4

Lunious of pair = 306.0 – 1.9 = 304.1

from the canalog the pair is 6.92 .. (Tycho2)

from the formula m1-m2 = 2.5 log(b2-b1) = 2.5 log()

The difference in magnitude of the two star is ..

m1-m2 = 2.5 log(b2/b1)

= 2.5 * log(290.7/13.4) =3.34

if the magnitude of the pair is 6.94 then the magnitude of first star is ..

m1-6.94=2.5*log(304.1/290.7)=0.05

m1=6.99

then the magnitude of second star is 10.33


In the observation at Ikeda, the gain of camera was set in a small value to avoid the off axis rays reflected at inside the optical tube. And it is considered that the value of pixels are not large enough to estimate the magnitude. Therefore, I will report the value calculated from Konohama observatory as star's magnitude.
