By a joint fitting of the radial velocity from LAMOST and the light curve from TESS, we derived a circular Keplerian orbit with an inclination of $i=$81.31$^{\\circ}$$^{+6.26^{\\circ}}_{-7.85^{\\circ}}$, which is consistent with that derived from $v{\\rm sin}I$. Together with the mass of the visible star, we derived the mass of the invisible object to be 1.34$^{+0.35}_{-0.40} M_{\\odot}$. Spectral disentangling with the LAMOST medium-resolution spectra shows no absorption feature from an additional component, suggesting the presence of a compact object. No X-ray or radio pulsed signal is detected from ROSAT and FAST archive observations. J0606+2132 could evolve into either a Type Ia supernova or a neutron star through accretion-induced collapse if it is a white dwarf, or into an intermediate-mass X-ray binary if it is a neutron star.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-13T18:17:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "massive white dwarf", "low-mass neutron star", "intermediate-mass x-ray binary", "type ia supernova", "lamost spectroscopic data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
