Cool Subdwarf Investigations III: Dynamical Masses of Low Metallicity Subdwarfs

We report dynamical mass measurements for the components of the previously known double-lined spectroscopic subdwarfs G 006-026 B and C using the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. To build the empirical mass-luminosity relation for low metallicity subdwarfs, we collect four other subdwarf systems with dynamical masses that we compare to theoretical models for various metallicities on the mass-luminosity relation. For most stars, they fall in the regions where the models predict to be low metallicity. This effort highlights the scarcity of dynamical masses for subdwarfs and that much work remains to be done to improve the mass errors and metallicity measurements of low mass subdwarfs in our Galaxy.
