NSVS06507557; a low-mass double-lined eclipsing binary

In this paper we present the results of a detailed spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the V=13$^m$.4 low-mass eclipsing binary NSVS 06507557 with an orbital period of 0.515 d. We obtained a series of mid-resolution spectra covering nearly entire orbit of the system. In addition we obtained simultaneous VRI broadband photometry using a small aperture telescope. From these spectroscopic and photometric data we have derived the system's orbital parameters and determined the fundamental stellar parameters of the two components. Our results indicate that NSVS 06507557 consists of a K9 and an M3 pre-main-sequence stars with masses of 0.66$\pm$0.09 \Msun and 0.28$\pm$0.05 \Msun and radii of 0.60$\pm$0.03 and 0.44$\pm$0.02 \Rsun, located at a distance of 111$\pm$9 pc. The radius of the less massive secondary component is larger than that of the zero-age main-sequnce star having the same mass. While the radius of the primary component is in agreement with ZAMS the secondary component appers to be larger by about 35 % with respect to its ZAMS counterpart. Night-to-night intrinsic light variations up to 0$^m$.2 have been observed. In addition, the H$_{\alpha}$, H$_{\beta}$ lines and the forbidden line of [O{\sc i}] are seen in emission. The Li{\sc i} 6708 \AA absorption line is seen in most of the spectra. These features are taken to be the signs of the classic T Tauri stars' characteristics. The parameters we derived are consistent with an age of about 20 Myr according to the stellar evolutionary models. The spectroscopic and photometric results are in agreement with those obtained by theoretical predictions.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures. Accepted by MNRA
