英文摘要 | The X-ray binary 4U 1543-624 has been provisionally identified as an ultra-compact system with an orbital period of similar or equal to 18 min. We have carried out time-resolved optical imaging of the binary to verify the ultra-short orbital period. Using 140 min of high-cadence r '-band photometry, we recover the previously-seen sinusoidal modulation and determine a period P = 18.20 +/- 0.09 min. In addition, we also see a 7.0x10(-4) mag min(-1) linear decay, likely related to variations in the source's accretion activity. Assuming that the sinusoidal modulation arises from X-ray heating of the inner face of the companion star, we estimate a distance of 6.0-6.7 kpc and an inclination angle of 34 degrees-61 degrees (90% confidence) for the binary. Given the stability of the modulation, we can confirm that the modulation is orbital in origin and 4U 1543-624 is an ultra-compact X-ray binary. |
