这封信介绍了第一次对大质量、半分离、日食双星LMC-SC1-105的距离测量,该双星位于大麦哲伦星云(LMC)的LH81组合中。将先前确定的系统参数与新的近红外光度和新的温度分析相结合,以限制系统的发红,并确定距离为50.6±1.6kpc(对应的距离系数为18.52±0.07 mag),与先前的日食双星测量结果一致。虽然这是LMC中第六次测量食双星的距离,但它是第一次测量O型系统。因此,我们论证了O型食双星(EBS)作为距离指示器的适用性。我们建议使用明亮的早期类型的EBS来测量沿不同视线的距离,作为绘制LMC深度的一种独立方式,并解决关于其三维结构的争议。
This Letter presents the first distance measurement to the massive, semi-detached, eclipsing binary LMC-SC1-105, located in the LH 81 association of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Previously determined parameters of the system are combined with new near-infrared photometry and a new temperature analysis to constrain the reddening toward the system, and determine a distance of 50.6 ± 1.6 kpc (corresponding to a distance modulus of 18.52 ± 0.07 mag), in agreement with previous eclipsing binary measurements. Although this is the sixth distance measurement to an eclipsing binary in the LMC, it is the first to an O-type system. We thus demonstrate the suitability of O-type eclipsing binaries (EBs) as distance indicators. We suggest using bright, early-type EBs to measure distances along different sight lines, as an independent way to map the depth of the LMC and resolve the controversy about its three-dimensional structure.
