We confirm earlier findings that it is a binary system. The orbital parameters were derived using cross-correlation of the spectra in a range of 4460-4632 A, which contains over 30 absorption lines. The orbit was found circular with a period of $137.4\\pm0.1$ days, radial velocity semi-amplitude $K_{1} = 5.0\\pm0.8$ km s$^{-1}$, systemic radial velocity $\\gamma = +26.4\\pm2.0$ km s$^{-1}$, and the mass function $f(m) = (1.81^{+0.97}_{-0.76})\\times10^{-3}$ M$_{\\odot}$. The object may have evolved from a pair with initial masses of $\\sim$6.0 M$_{\\odot}$ and $\\sim$3.6 M$_{\\odot}$ with an initial orbital period of $\\sim$5 days. Based on the fundamental parameters of the A-supergiant (luminosity $\\log$ L/L$_{\\odot} = 4.1\\pm$0.1 and effective temperature T$_{\\rm eff} = 8500\\pm$500 K) and evolutionary tracks of mass-transferring binaries, we found current masses of the gainer M$_{2} = 8.8\\pm$0.5 M$_{\\odot}$ and donor M$_{1} = 0.75\\pm0.25$ M$_{\\odot}$. We also modeled the object's IR-excess and derived a dust mass of $\\sim 5\\,\\times10^{-5}$ M$_{\\odot}$ in the optically-thin dusty disk. The orbital parameters and properties of the H$\\alpha$ line profile suggest that the circumstellar gaseous disk is predominantly circumbinary. The relatively low mass of the gainer led us to a suggestion that 3 Pup should be excluded from the B[e] supergiant group and moved to the FS CMa group. Overall these results further support our original suggestion that FS CMa objects are binary systems, where an earlier mass-transfer caused formation of the circumstellar envelope.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-15T19:27:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "orbital parameters", "circumstellar environments", "supergiant", "properties", "binary system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
