Mass-luminosity relation of intermediate-mass stars.
MALKOV O.Y.
Abstract (from CDS):
In this work we collect data on fundamental parameters of stars with masses m > 1.5m☉. They are components of binaries with P > 15 d and consequently are not synchronized with the orbital periods and presumably are rapid rotators. These stars are believed to evolve similarly with single stars. Modern data on masses, absolute and bolometric luminosities, radii and temperatures of detached main-sequence double-lined eclipsing binary components (i.e. presumably slow rotators) are also collected.
Mass-luminosity, mass-temperature and mass-radius relations of close and wide binaries are presented, as well as their Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. For the mass range 4.5 < m/m☉< 5.5 (late B stars) it was found that rapid rotators exhibit slightly higher luminosities and larger radii than predicted by the standard relations, and their main sequence is shifted to the right-hand side with respect to that of the close binary components. The resulting relations for rapidly and slowly rotating A-F and early B stars are not statistically different.
As our estimations show, for the given mass range the effect on the initial mass function (IMF) is marginal, but there is no way to estimate the degree to which the effect may be important for higher masses. Available observational data for m > 12m☉ are too poor to make definite conclusions. Knowledge of the MLR should come from dynamical mass determinations of visual binaries combined with spatially resolved precise photometry. Then the IMF should be revised for that mass range.
