A new analysis of the radial velocity variations of the eclipsing and spectroscopic binary EN Lacertae
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An analysis of 1236 new electronic spectra of the eclipsing binary EN Lac from four observatories and of 994 radial velocities (RV hereafter) from photographic spectra, published by several authors, has allowed us to disentangle the RV variations due to orbital motion and due to pulsations of the star. New, accurate orbital elements as well as precise values of the three pulsation periods, already known from the previous studies, were derived. The accuracy of the orbital solution has been substantially improved after the observed RV changes were properly prewhitened for the short-term oscillations. The amplitude of the dominant RV oscillation with a period of was found to vary with a 74 year cycle. The amplitudes of the two other RV oscillations, having periods of and , vary on much shorter time scales of 674 d and 331 d, respectively. The value of P2 derived here does not correspond to a one year alias of the value found by several authors from photometry but appears to be an intrinsic period. The time scales of the amplitude modulations found for P1 and P3 are in good agreement with previous photometric results. For the first time we present evidence of line profile variations of EN Lac. They correlate well with the short-term RV variations but they alternatively occur with periods corresponding either to the fundamental periods or to the first harmonics of P1 to P3. An analysis of the RV scatter along the orbital phase curve for the new spectra, obtained over a relatively short interval of time, gives some indication of a sharp increase of this scatter when the stars are approaching periastron. Since this could be a signature of forced oscillations, the effect is worth further study, though it appears rather marginal at present.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
