On the sdOB primary of the post common-envelope binary AA Doradus (LB 3459).

KLEPP S. and RAUCH T.

Abstract (from CDS):

object{AA Dor} is an eclipsing, post common-envelope binary with an sdOB-type primary and a low-mass secondary. Eleven years ago, an NLTE spectral analysis showed a discrepancy in the surface gravity that was derived by radial-velocity and light-curve analysis, logg=5.21±0.1(cm/s2) and logg=5.53±0.03, respectively. We aim to determine both the effective temperature and surface gravity of AA Dor precisely from high-resolution, high-S/N observations taken during the occultation of the secondary. We calculated an extended grid of metal-line blanketed, state-of-the-art, non-LTE model atmospheres in the parameter range of the primary of AA Dor. Synthetic spectra calculated from this grid were compared to optical observations. We verify Teff=42000±1000K from our former analyses and determine a higher logg=5.46±0.05. The main reason are new Stark-broadening tables that were used for calculating of the theoretical Balmer-line profiles. Our result for the surface gravity agrees with the value from light-curve analysis within the error limits, thereby solving the so-called gravity problem in AA Dor.
