Orbital Elements and Individual Component Masses from Joint Spectroscopic and Astrometric Data of Double-line Spectroscopic Binaries*

We present orbital elements, orbital parallaxes, and individual component masses for 14 spatially resolved double-line spectroscopic binaries derived doing a simultaneous fit of their visual orbit and radial velocity curve. This was done by means of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo code developed by our group that produces posterior distribution functions and error estimates for all of the parameters. Of this sample, six systems had high-quality previous studies and were included as benchmarks to test our procedures, but even in these cases, we could improve the previous orbits by adding recent data from our survey of southern binaries being carried out with the HRCam and ZORRO speckle cameras at the SOAR 4.1 m and Gemini South 8.1 m telescopes, respectively. We also give results for eight objects that did not have a published combined orbital solution, one of which did not have a visual orbit either. We could determine mass ratios with a typical uncertainty of less than 1%, mass sums with uncertainties of about 1%, and individual component masses with a formal uncertainty of 0.01 M (circle dot) in the best cases. A comparison of our orbital parallaxes with available trigonometric parallaxes from Hipparcos and Gaia eDR3 shows a good correspondence, the mean value of the differences being consistent with zero within the errors of both catalogs. We also present observational H-R diagrams for our sample of binaries, which, in combination with isochrones from different sources, allowed us to assess their evolutionary status and the quality of their photometry.
