Abstract

We search for compact objects in binaries based on Gaia DR3. A sample of 10 targets is derived under the following conditions: the radial velocity variable, low temperature (T eff < 6000 K), high mass function (f(M 2) > 1M ⊙), and ellipsoidal-like light curves. Two targets have LAMOST spectroscopic observations, one of which is a double-lined spectroscopic binary. The observational data of seven targets are not self-consistent, since their photometric periods are even shorter than the theoretical minimum orbital periods calculated by the stellar parameters from Gaia DR3. After excluding these seven inconsistent targets and another target contaminated by a near-bright star, the remaining two targets may contain compact objects worth follow-up observations. This work may serve as an example to demonstrate the feasibility of searching for compact objects in the massive Gaia data.
