摘要
We present the results of long-baseline optical interferometry observations using the Precision Astronomical Visual Observations (PAVO) beam combiner at the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array to measure the angular sizes of three bright Kepler stars: theta Cygni, and both components of the binary system 16 Cygni. Supporting infrared observations were made with the Michigan Infrared Combiner (MIRC) and Classic beam combiner, also at the CHARA Array. We find limb-darkened angular diameters of 0.753 +/- 0.009 mas for theta Cyg, 0.539 +/- 0.007 mas for 16 Cyg A and 0.490 +/- 0.006 mas for 16 Cyg B. The Kepler Mission has observed these stars with outstanding photometric precision, revealing the presence of solar-like oscillations. Due to the brightness of these stars the oscillations have exceptional signal-to-noise, allowing for detailed study through asteroseismology, and are well constrained by other observations. We have combined our interferometric diameters with Hipparcos parallaxes, spectrophotometric bolometric fluxes and the asteroseismic large frequency separation to measure linear radii (theta Cyg: 1.48 +/- 0.02 R-circle dot, 16 Cyg A: 1.22 +/- 0.02 R-circle dot, 16 Cyg B: 1.12 +/- 0.02 R-circle dot), effective temperatures (theta Cyg: 6749 +/- 44 K, 16 Cyg A: 5839 +/- 42 K, 16 Cyg B: 5809 +/- 39 K) and masses (theta Cyg: 1.37 +/- 0.04 M-circle dot, 16 Cyg A: 1.07 +/- 0.05 M-circle dot, 16 Cyg B: 1.05 +/- 0.04 M-circle dot) for each star with very little model dependence. The measurements presented here will provide strong constraints for future stellar modelling efforts.
