Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Context. HD 98800 is a young (∼10 Myr old) and nearby (∼45 pc) quadruple system, composed of two spectroscopic binaries orbiting
around each other (AaAb and BaBb), with a gas-rich disk in polar configuration around BaBb. While the orbital parameters of BaBb
and AB are relatively well constrained, this is not the case for AaAb. A full characterisation of this quadruple system can provide
insights on the formation of such a complex system.
Aims. The goal of this work is to determine the orbit of the AaAb subsystem and refine the orbital solution of BaBb using multi-epoch
interferometric observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer PIONIER and radial velocities.
Methods. The PIONIER observations provide relative astrometric positions and flux ratios for both AaAa and BaBb subsystems.
Combining the astrometric points with radial velocity measurements, we determine the orbital parameters of both subsystems.
Results. We refined the orbital solution of BaBb and derived, for the first time, the full orbital solution of AaAb. We confirmed
the polar configuration of the circumbinary disk around BaBb. From our solutions, we also inferred the dynamical masses of AaAb
(MAa = 0.93 ± 0.09 and MAb = 0.29 ± 0.02 M ). We also revisited the parameters of the AB outer orbit.
Conclusions. The orbital parameters are relevant to test the long-term stability of the system and to evaluate possible formation
scenarios of HD 98800. Using the N-body simulation, we show that the system should be dynamically stable over thousands of orbital
periods and that it made preliminary predictions for the transit of the disk in front of AaAb which is estimated to start around 2026.
We discuss the lack of a disk around AaAb, which can be explained by the larger X-ray luminosity of AaAb, promoting faster photoevaporation of the disk. High-resolution infrared spectroscopic observations would provide radial velocities of Aa and Ab (blended
lines in contemporary observations), which would allow us to calculate the dynamical masses of Aa and Ab independently of the
parallax of BaBb. Further monitoring of other hierarchical systems will improve our understanding of the formation and dynamical
evolution of these kinds of systems.
