A new study of the spectroscopic binary 7 Vul with a Be star primary
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We confirmed the binary nature of the Be star 7 Vul, derived a more accurate spectroscopic orbit with an orbital period of $ 69{{\overset{\text{ d}}{.}}}4212\pm0{{\overset{\text{ d}}{.}}}0034 $, and improved the knowledge of the basic physical elements of the system. Analyzing available photometry and the strength of the Hα emission, we also document the long-term spectral variations of the Be primary. In addition, we confirmed rapid light changes with a period of $ 0{{\overset{\text{ d}}{.}}}5592 $, which is comparable to the expected rotational period of the Be primary, but note that its amplitude and possibly its period vary with time. We were able to disentangle only the He <ns0:sc>I</ns0:sc> 6678 Å line of the secondary, which could support our tentative conclusion that the secondary appears to be a hot subdwarf. A search for this object in high-dispersion far-UV spectra could provide confirmation. Probable masses of the binary components are (6 ± 1) $ \mathcal{M}^{\rm N}_\odot $ and (0.6 ± 0.1) $ \mathcal{M}^{\rm N}_\odot $ . If the presence of a hot subdwarf is firmly confirmed, 7 Vul might be identified as a rare object with a B4-B5 primary; all Be + hot subdwarf systems found so far contain B0-B3 primaries.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
