discov_num notes refcode
THB 1 Preliminary orbital elements give total mass 2.8 +/- 1.5 Msun. Thb1995b
Tamazian et al. (2002) solution includes mass determination based on Tam2002
estimated distance.
DF Tau orbit by Schaefer et al. (2006) gives range 1974-2022 for T, Sfr2006
0.05-0.76 for e. Values for P and a are lower limits.
Assuming a distance of 140 pc, Schaefer et al. (2014) derive a total
mass 1.17 +/- 0.13 Msun. The orbital period of 43.7y closely matches
the 44yr timescale of photometric variations; this is consistent with
a suggestion by Lamzin et al. (2001 A&A 372, 922) that the variability
is caused by the circumstellar accretion rate onto the primary being
modulated by the orbital motion of the companion. Sfr2014
