A spectroscopic study of the binary system β Arietis

  • 1. Saint Andrews Univ. (UK). Observatory

Description

Radial velocities derived from 70 spectrograms of the binary system β Arietis are presented. The resultant orbit of high eccentricity (e = 0.89) is in excellent agreement with previous studies. The short-period (≅ 0.05 day) variations in radial velocity reported by previous authors and attributed by them to pulsational instability are not confirmed by these data. (author)
