  • 1. Instituto de Astronomia y Fisica del Espacio, Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Description

CPD - 260389, a hot subdwarf at the centre of the planetary nebula NGC 1360, is shown to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a period of about 8 day. The primary (visible) component appears to be less massive than its companion, and the total stellar mass of the system is presumably below one solar mass. (author)
