Binaries masses and luminosities with Gaia DR3

Abstract

The recent Gaia third data release (DR3) has brought some new exciting data about stellar binaries. It provides new opportunities to fully characterize more stellar systems and contribute to enforce our global knowledge of stars behaviour. By combining the new Gaia non-single stars catalog with double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2), one can determine the individual masses and luminosities of the components. To fit an empirical mass-luminosity relation in the Gaia G band, lower mass stars need to be added. Those can be derived using Gaia resolved wide binaries combined with literature data. Using the BINARYS tool, we combine the astrometric non-single star solutions in the Gaia DR3 with SB2 data from two other catalogs : the 9th Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary orbits (SB9) and APOGEE. We also look for low mass stars resolved in Gaia with direct imaging and Hipparcos data or literature mass fraction. The combination of Gaia astrometric non-single star solutions with double-lined spectroscopic data enabled to characterize 43 binary systems with SB9 and 13 with APOGEE. We further derive the masses of 6 low mass binaries resolved with Gaia. We then derive an empirical mass-luminosity relation in the Gaia G band down to 0.12 Msun.
