The triple system HIP 96515: a low-mass eclipsing binary with a DB white dwarf companion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Context. HIP 96515 A is a double-lined spectroscopic binary included in the SACY catalog as a potential young star. It has a visual companion (CCDM 19371-5134 B, HIP 96515 B) at 86. If bound to the primary, the optical and infrared colors of this wide companion are consistent with those of a white dwarf.Aims. We attempt to characterize the system HIP 96515 A&B by studying each of its components.Methods. We analyzed spectroscopic and photometric observations of HIP 96515 A and its visual companion, HIP 96515 B. To confirm the system as a common proper-motion pair, we analyzed the astrometry of the components using high-angular resolution infrared observations obtained within a time span of two years, and archival astrometry. Results. The high-resolution optical spectrum of HIP 96515 A was used to derive a mass ratio, , close to 0.9. The optical lightcurve of HIP 96515 A shows periodic variations with Porbital = 2.3456 days, revealing that HIP 96515 A is an eclipsing binary with preliminary orbital parameters of i = ± , and M1 = 0.59 ± 0.03 and M2 = 0.54 ± 0.03 , for the primary and secondary, respectively, at an estimated distance of 42 ± 3 pc. This is a new eclipsing binary with component masses below 0.6 . Multi-epoch observations of HIP 96515 A&B show that the system is a common proper-motion pair. The optical spectrum of HIP 96515 B is consistent with a pure helium atmosphere (DB) white dwarf. The comparison with evolutionary cooling sequence models provides = 19 126 ± 195 K, = 8.08, = 0.6, and a distance of ~46 pc. The estimated WD cooling age is ~100 Myr and the total age of the object (including the main-sequence phase) is ~400 Myr. Finally, if HIP 96515 A&B are coeval, and assuming a common age of ~400 Myr, the comparison of the masses of the eclipsing binary members with evolutionary tracks shows that they are underestimated by ~15% and 10%, for the primary and secondary, respectively.

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.
