COMMUNICATIONS MITTEILUNGEN FROM THE DER KONKOLY OBSERVATORY STERNWARTE OF THE DER UNGARISCHEN AKADEMIE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES DER WISSENSCHAFTEN BUDAPEST - SZABADSAGHEGY No. 84. B. SZEIDL PERIOD CHANGES IN DWARF CEPHEIDS, III SZ LYNCIS BUDAPEST, 1983 PERIOD CHANGES IN DWARF CEPHEIDS, III SZ LYNCIS ABSTRACT 2371 photoelectric UBV observations obtained between 1962 and 1979 and twelve radial velocity measurements made in 1971 are reported. The long-periodic variation in time of maximum light discovered by van Genderen has been confirmed and the values of its period (P_1 = 1170 days = 3.20 yr) and semiamplitude (A = 0.00540 day = 467 sec) were improved. A secular change in the pulsation period (B = 10^-12 day*cycle^-1) has been found. Small cycle-to-cycle variations are clearly seen but a search for periodic modulation failed. The photometric parameters of the light curves are discussed. The two-colour diagram of SZ Lyn suggests an interstellar reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 magn. Our spectra do not show any feature of the presence of doubled lines. Our observations are compatible with the hypothesis that SZ Lyn is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of 3.20 yr and a total velocity amplitude 18 km*s^-1. INTRODUCTION The light variability of SZ Lyncis (=BD+44 1718 = HD 67390 = AGK2 +44 795 = CSV 1220 = S4747) was discovered by Hoffmeister (1949a,b). The star was first investigated photographically and visually by Soloviev (1955) and Tsesevich (1956a, b) who considered it as an eclipsing variable of W UMa type with a period of 0.212 day, and later of 0.274 day. Using photoelectric observations Schneller (1961) and Eggen (1962) rejected the earlier classification and demonstrated the RRs character of the variable. Gefferth and Szeidl (1962) and Notni (1962) determined the correct period of its light variation: P = 0.12053 day. Gefferth and Szeidl (1962) noticed small changes in the light variation amplitude from cycle to cycle but failed to find periodic variations in the height of maximum. Later van Genderen (1963) and Broglia (1963) investigated the light curve of the variable and found no irregularities. He Tien-jian and Xiong Da-run (1964) found the period to be decreasing. Joshi and Srivastava's (1967) observations showed sudden shifts in the time of occurrence of the star's light maximum. According to them the period of the variable and its light and colour curves undergo drastic changes. It was reported by van Genderen (1967) that there are small changes in the height of the maximum and in the form of the light curve. He was the first to point out that the O-C's produced by a linear ephemeris appeared to follow a sine-curve relation with a period of 3.1 years. Binnendijk (1968), however, found no evidence for variation in the height of the maximum nor in the shape of the light curve. On the other hand, Wisse and Wisse (1969) found the changes in the height and shape to be roughly correlated, therefore they considered these variations, as real. Moreover the epoch of maximum given by Wisse and Wisse (1969) considerably deviates from van Genderen's nonlinear ephemeris. In an attempt to resolve the discrepancies, high speed UBV photometry was carried out by Barnes and Moffett (1974, 1975). The existence of irregularities in the height of maximum light having a total amplitude of about 0.04 magn was confirmed. Barnes and Moffett (1975) improved the parameters of the periodic variation from a linear element and interpreted this long periodic modulation as light travel time effect supposing that SZ Lyn is a member of a binary system. Duerbeck (1976) suggested that there was an increase in brightness of SZ Lyn. This effect, however, could not be confirmed by Karetnikov and Medvedev (1978). They were unable to find any correlation between high and sharp maxima, although they also pointed out the changes in the form of the light curve. Garrido et al. (1979) found that the variations in the height of the maximum did not exceed ~0.03 magn and they confirmed that the residuals from a constant period fitted a sine-wave well. According to their study no other significant change in the period seemed to be present. The observations of Africano (1978) and Hopp and Witzigmann (1979) showed, however, that the O-C values of the times of light maximum were definitely larger than the standard deviation in the determination of the non-linear ephemeris of Barnes and Moffett (1975). This fact suggests that a redetermination of the period should be done with new observations. According to the studies of Willis (1972) and Alania (1972, 1974) the metal abundance of SZ Lyn is normal or the star is slightly metal deficient, since Delta S ~= 1 or 2 near minimum light. The strongest support for the binary hypothesis may come from radial velocity measurements. First, Woolley and Aly (1966) investigated the radial velocity variation of SZ Lyn, but they did not remark on spectral duplicity. McNamara and Feltz (1976) secured a number of spectrograms of SZ Lyn with a dispersion of 40 A*mm ^-1 ; they did not comment upon doubled lines either. Their careful analysis showed that the velocity data were uncertain and too limited in scope for testing the binary hypothesis at that time. At any rate, the data available to them did not support the long-period velocity variation. Recently Bardin and Imbert (1981) measured the radial velocities of SZ Lyn at high time resolution. The results fully confirmed the binary hypothesis and led to a coherent provisional orbit with a fairly large computed eccentricity. We present our photometric and spectroscopic observations to enable a more rigorous period analysis and give further support to the hypothesis that SZ Lyn is a component of a binary system. PHOTOMETRIC OBSERVATIONS On 28 nights in the period 7 February 1962 - 27 February 1979, 2371 three-colour photoelectric observations were obtained at Konkoly Observatory. Most of the observations were carried out with the 24 inch telescope equipped with an unrefrigerated photometer. This photometer employed an 1P21 photomultiplier tube in 1962 and an EMI 9502B tube in the years 1963-1979. The colour filters were nearly on the UBV system: in ultraviolet light 2 mm UG1, in blue light 1 mm BG12 plus 2 mm GG13, in yellow light 2 mm GG11 Schott-filters were used. On two nights (namely on J.D.2441679 and J.D.2443931) the 20 inch telescope at the mountain station of Konkoly Observatory was used. The photometer of this telescope contained an EMI 9058QB multiplier and the following Schott-filters: UG2 in U, BG12+GG13 in B, and GG11 in V. A summary of photoelectric observations obtained at Konkoly Observatory in different years in UBV light by different observers is presented in Table 1. All observations were made differentially with respect to the comparison star BD +45 1544 chosen conveniently close to SZ Lyn. Additional observations were obtained during the observational period by checking the constancy of the comparison star. A second comparison star, BD +44 1716, was selected for this purpose and the intercomparisons indicated that the main comparison star was sufficiently constant. The comparison stars were calibrated on the UBV system through reference to standard stars from the list of Johnson and Morgan (1953) and Iriarte et al. (1965). These observations were made on three good and uniform nights in 1964, 1967 and 1968, respectively. The magnitudes and colours of the comparison stars are given in Table 2. This table also lists the values of comparison stars of other observers. The individual observations of SZ Lyn are presented in Table 9a,b,c. These observations have been converted to the standard UBV system. In the reduction of the observations to Delta U, Delta B and Delta V magnitudes, mean differential colour curves on the instrumental system were formed for each year and then these mean curves were used for the colour corrections in the transformation equations. As the comparison star was close to the variable, no correction has been made for differential extinction. The accuracy of the individual observations can be taken as about 0.01 magn.

Gefferth and Szeidl analysed their own photoelectric observations and combined them with those of Schneller (1961). They gave the ephemeris: J.D.max = 2437718.5568 + 0.120 534 87*E. Eq.1. Notni used Soloviev's (1955) photographic, Tsesevich's (1956a) visual and photographic, and Schneller's (1961) photoelectric observations and he obtained: J.D.max = 2437368.403 + O.120 534 73*E. Eq.2. First, He Tian-jian and Xiong Da-run (1967) concluded that the period was not constant. They computed an ephemeris with the quadratic term: J.D.max = 2437780.0311 + 0.120 533 37*E - 5.728d x 10^-10*E^2. Eq.3. Soon after this, a thorough investigation of the period of SZ Lyn was carried out by van Genderen (1967). From the photoelectrically observed times of maximum light available to him at that time, van Genderen came to the conclusion that the observations can adequately be represented by a periodic term: J.D.max = T_0 + P_0*E - A*cos2Pi(T_max - T_0 / P_1 - Phi) Eq.4. where T_0 = 2438124.39849, A = 0.00569 day, P_0 = 0.120 534 93 day, Phi =-0.019, P_1 = 1129 days. Later on this ephemeris was improved by Barnes and Moffett (1975) and by Garrido et al. (1979). The parameters of ephemerides derived by different authors are given in Table 3. Recent observations suggested that a redetermination of the parameters of the ephemeris be carried out thereby enabling the periods to be greatly improved. Such a redetermination can, of course, be based only on photoelectric observations. The available times of light maxima observed photoelectrically are collected in Table 4. The long series of visual and photographic maxima published by Soloviev (1955), Tsesevich (1956a, b, 1966), Berdnikov (1972, 1975, 1977), Braune et al. (1972, 1973, 1977, 1981) and Busch (1975, 1976) are not used here. A small systematic phase lag between the blue and yellow light maxima have been found by some of the authors. For example, from the observations of Karetnikov and Medvedev (1977, 1978) a phase difference Delta T = T(max. in B) - T(max. in V) = -0.0006 +- 0.0004 can be deduced. Since most of the authors determined the times of maximum brightness in B bandpass, we used the blue maxima (if available) as the zero phase in our period analysis. Some observers assumed that for every colour the maximum occurred at the same time and they published the average values of the time of blue and yellow light maxima. This discrepancy, however, does not give rise to serious problems in the period analysis. Usually the estimated accuracy of the determination of the time of the best observed maximum light is about 0.0007 day ~= 1 minute. If we compare this value with T(max. in B) - (T(max. in B) + T(max. in V)) / 2 ~= -0.0003d it turns out immediately that the average values of times of maximum light in blue and yellow can also be used without any restriction in the period analysis. It is clear that the O-C values for SZ Lyn produced by a linear ephemeris follow a sine-curve relation. Since previous investigations of the period changes of dwarf cepheids showed that the period of a star might be increasing or decreasing continuously, we tried to fit the epochs of maximum of SZ Lyn to the following relation: J.D.max = T_0 + P_0*E + beta/2 * E^2 - A*cos 2Pi(P_0/P_1*E - psi_0 ) Eq.5. where T_0 is the initial epoch of maximum corresponding to E=0; P_0 is the pulsation period of SZ Lyn; P_1 is the period of the sinusoid; beta is the secular change of the pulsation period during one cycle; A is the semiamplitude of the sine-curve; and psi_0 is the phase shift. Values for the six parameters were determined by the method of least squares giving the same weight to all observations: T_0 = 2438124.39801 A = 0.00540 day, +-.00012 +-.00011 P_0 = 0.120 534 934 day, beta = +0.010 x 10^-10 day*cycle^-1 +-18 +-.007 P_1 = 1170 days, psi = -0.015 +-3 +-.005. For comparison with others' results these values are also given in Table 3. The observations used here cover almost 6P_1 whereas the baseline of coverage was only 1.6P_1 in van Genderen's (1967), 3.8P_1 in Barnes and Moffett's (1975), and 5.0P_1 in Garrido et al.'s (1979) discussions. Four maxima have been excluded from the fit to Eq.5. Three (E=2919, 2977 and 18459) were already reported by Joshi and Srivastava (1967) and by Wisse and Wisse (1969) to deviate significantly from the non-linear ephemeris. The epoch (E=21073) published by Popovici (1971) deviates from our non-linear ephemeris by at least three times the acceptable timing uncertainties of photoelectric maxima (~0.0015d = 2 minutes). Figure 1: O-C_lin versus E. The solid line indicates the goodness of fit for the non-linear ephemeris Eq. 5. The dashed line shows the secular variation in the pulsation period. In columns 4 and 5 of Table 4 the O-C_lin residuals from the linear portion of Eq.5, and the O-C residuals determined from Eq.5 are given. The phases of the sinusoid psi are also given in Table 4 in column 6. Fig. 1 indicates the goodness of fit for the non-linear ephemeris. It shows the residuals from the linear part in Eq.5 versus epoch number E and the non-linear fit is drawn in.

As can be seen in the figure the light curves are regular and typical of the class of variables to which SZ Lyn belongs. The small deviations in the light curves are caused by small cycle-to-cycle variations which do not exceed 0.04 in magnitude at maximum light in any bandpass. A part of the scatter on the light curves may be attributed to instrumental and extinction effects or observational errors. Since some of the dwarf cepheids (e.g. RV Ari, VZ Cnc) show the beat phenomenon it is an obvious assumption that the cycle-to-cycle change can be explained by this phenomenon. A search for this effect in SZ Lyn was made but without success. Changes in the height of maximum light with period P_1 have been claimed by some observers and denied by others. Barnes and Moffett (1975) found no significant variation in maximum with period P_1. On the other hand, Garbusov (1980) reported periodic brightness changes in maximum light. To see if this variation is real or not we also gave the blue (B) magnitude of our maxima in Table 4 and presented the B magnitude at maximum light versus phase in the P_1 = 1170-day cycle (Fig. 3). We found no evidence for periodic variation of brightness maximum. It is interesting to note that the B maxima of Barnes and Moffett and of Duerbeck lie above the average value. Figure 2: Composite light curves in V for different observational seasons The O-C values are also plotted against phase psi in Fig. 3. No clear trend seems to be present that would indicate a departure from the sinusoidal variation. Figure 3: Maximum brightness in B light and variation in time of maximum versus phase of the 1170-day period. In order to investigate the light and colour curves, normal points were computed. First the individual observations were collected in phase using the ephemeris given by Eq. 5 and then they were averaged together into phase bins 0.02P_0 wide. These values were then inter/extrapolated to the phases: phi = 0.01, 0.03,....0.99. The normal points are given in Table 5. The most important characteristics of the light and colour curves were derived by using the normal points, and they are summarized in Table 6. The two-colour diagram for SZ Lyn during the mean cycle is shown in Fig. 4. The unusual feature in the colour loop during the phase interval 0.32-0.44 found by Barnes and Moffett (1975) is not seen in our diagram. The probable explanation for this is that our normal points are formed from the observations of different years and of different accuracy, and the fine details are smoothed out.

An interstellar reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 magn seems to be reasonable from our diagram. Figure 4: (U-B)-(B-V) diagram for SZ Lyn during the mean cycle. Phases are shown as numbers on the loop, with zero phase being that of maximum light. The mean position of SZ Lyn is also marked by an asterisk within the loop. The arrows point to the dereddened positions of SZ Lyn and its main comparison star in the two-colour diagram relative to the Hyades main sequence. RADIAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS Woolley and Aly (1966) were the first to measure the radial velocity of SZ Lyn. From 17 spectra they obtained a mean velocity of +31.9 +- 2.3 km*s^-1 and calculated a radial velocity amplitude of 23.7 +- 8.8 km*s^-1. Later on McNamara and Feltz (1976) obtained spectrograms of SZ Lyn with the 100 inch telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory with a dispersion of 40 A mm^-1. From these measurements a mean velocity of +22 km*s^-1 and a radial velocity amplitude of 44 km*s^-1 were derived. The difference in the mean radial velocity values could be explained by the binary nature of SZ Lyn. McNamara and Feltz secured, however, a single-trail spectrogram of SZ Lyn as well, and obtained an average velocity 24.4 +- 2 km*s-^1. The binary phase of these observations was about the same as that of Woolley and Aly's observations. Thus McNamara and Feltz's results seem to be in contradiction with the binary hypothesis. Bardin and Imbert (1981) observed SZ Lyn with the CORAVEL photoelectric spectrometer on two nights in 1979 and in 1980. They obtained very accurate and high time resolution radial velocity curves. Their results confirmed the binary nature of SZ Lyn. They obtained for the average velocities 41.11 +- 0.14 km*s^-1 on J.D. 2444206 and 43.36 +- 0.12 km*s^-1 on J.D. 2444324. No significant amplitude variation was detected from cycle to cycle. The total variation of the radial velocity was 39.9 km*s^-1. Using the available mean radial velocities an orbital eccentricity of e = 0.26 was computed which is fairly large. Here we should recall the fact that the O-C diagram of light maxima suggests nearly zero eccentricity. As a contribution to settling this problem it seems to be worth publishing our radial velocity measurements. In 1971 twelve spectrograms (at a reciprocal dispersion of 60 A mm^-1) were secured with the Cassegrain spectrograph of the 72 inch telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory on baked IIa-O plates on three nights. The plates were measured on the DAO Arcturus measuring machine. Spectrograms of a number of standard velocity stars were also secured on the three nights and measured to check on possible systematic errors, but none were found. In Table 7 we list the plate number, the date and Julian Day of each spectrogram, the number of lines measured the radial velocity and the phase computed with Eq.5. In Fig. 5 our individual radial velocity measurements are plotted against the phase of the pulsation period, and a free-hand velocity curve has been drawn through the observations. A mean velocity of about 32.8 km*s^-1 was found from our velocity data (with an estimated error of 2.5 km*s^-1). Relying only on our own data the maximum and minimum velocities of the SZ Lyn velocity curve have been fixed at about 53 km*s^-1 and 14 km*s^-1, respectively, which yield a velocity amplitude of 39 km*s^-1.

BINARY MODEL The 3.20-year periodicity in the time of maximum light found by van Genderen (1967) has been interpreted by Barnes and Moffett (1975) as a modulation of the phase of maximum light by binary motion. Since the O-C values can be fitted well with Eq.5 we have good reason to assume that the orbit of SZ Lyn in the binary system is nearly circular (e ~= 0). For a circular orbit of radius a and inclination i the variation in time of maximum light of a variable star attributed to the light travel time across the orbit in a binary system is given by Delta T_max = (a * sin i) / c cos 2 pi ((P_0 / P_1) * E - psi_0) Eq.6. where P_0 is the pulsation period, P_1 is the orbital period, c is the light velocity and psi_0 is the orbital phase at E = 0. Equation 6 is the last term in Eq.5: a_SZ^sin i = cA = 0.93 AU, K_SZ = cA(2 pi / P_1) = 8.69 km*s^-1 and the radial velocity variation is given by mean R.V. = gamma + K*sin 2 pi(P_0/P_1*E - psi_0) Eq.7. where gamma is the system velocity, relative to the Sun. Equation 7 can be compared with the observations. In Table 8 the mean velocities of SZ Lyn taken from Woolley and Aly (1966), McNamara and Feltz and Bardin and Imbert (1981) are collected. Our measurement is also given. In Fig. 6 these data are plotted against orbital phase psi = (P_0/P_1)E - psi_0. If Eq.7 is fitted to the very accurate measurements of Bardin and Imbert, we obtain: gamma = 34.00 km*s^-1. Figure 6 suggests that the orbit may be non-circular. Further precise radial velocity data are required to construct a reliable radial velocity curve Table 8 Mean radial velocities of SZ Lyn J.D.

The solid line has been calculated from the variation in time of maximum light assuming a circular orbit (e=0). The curve was fitted to the observations of Bardin and Imbert (1981). and to achieve the precision required for determining the eccentricity e of the binary orbit. Since we failed to see any doubled lines in the spectra of SZ Lyn we have to assume that the variable is a single-lined spectroscopic binary. The mass function can easily be determined from the above derived data: f(M_2) = (M_2^3*sin^3i)/(M_SZ+M_2)^2 = 1.038 x 10^-7(1-e^2)^1.5 K^3*P_1 If we adopt e = 0 f(M_2) = 0.080 M_Sun where M_SZ is the mass of the pulsating component (dwarf cepheid SZ Lyn) of the system, and M_2 is the mass of the unseen companion. The magnitude difference between SZ Lyn and the unseen companion should be, at least, 1.5 magn. Assuming that the unseen companion is a main sequence star, then the mass ratio of the components is M_SZ/M2 >= 1.43, if the mass-luminosity function of McCluskey and Kondo (1972) is valid for both components. This result compared with the mass function of the binary system yields: 1 >= sin^3i>=(0.47M_Sun)/M_2 Thus we obtain 0.70 M_SZ >= M_2 >= 0.47 M_Sun . The unreddened mean colour index of SZ Lyn is (B-V)_0 = 0.27. Hence, if it is on or near the main sequence, M_V ~= +2.6m, and M_SZ ~= 1.7 M_Sun, then i >= 50. It may also be natural to assume that the unseen companion is a white dwarf. Whatever the assumption the binary model describes and explains well the observed features: the variation in time of light maxima and mean radial velocities. SUMMARY Three-colour photoelectric observations obtained at Konkoly Observatory on 28 nights from 7 February 1962 through 27 February 1979 were used to define the photometric behaviour of SZ Lyn. Its light curves are typical of the class of variable to which SZ Lyn belongs, nevertheless small cycle-to-cycle variations are present in each bandpass. These variations, however, do not exceed 0.04 in magnitude at maximum light, and they are even smaller at minimum light. The search for both short and long periodic modulation in amplitude or in maximum brightness failed. An interstellar reddening of E(B-V) = 0.04 magn has been deduced from our two-colour diagram. This value is slightly smaller than that given by Barnes and Moffett (1975). All available light maxima observed photoelectrically were used to investigate the variation in the pulsation period. The long periodic variation in time of maximum light has been confirmed. The variation approximated by a sine-curve has a period of 1170 +- 3 days and a semiamplitude of 467 +- 10 sec. A secular change of beta = 10^-12 day*cycle^-1 in the pulsation period has been also found. New radial velocity data of SZ Lyn obtained at Dominion Astrophysical Observatory with the Cassegrain spectrograph of the 72 inch telescope in 1971 have been given which provide a mean radial velocity of 32.8 km*s^-1 at J.D. 2441041. All available radial velocity observations are discussed. It has been shown that both the photometric observations and the radial velocity measurements are compatible with the hypothesis proposed by Barnes and Moffett (1975) that SZ Lyn is a component of a binary system.
