  • 1. Muenster Univ. (Germany, F.R.). Astronomisches Inst.

Description

Radial velocity measurements of the exnova CP Pup yield an orbital amplitude of 92 km s-1 and a period of 0.061 4215 day, which is shorter than the photometric periods determined by a previous author. The mass of the secondary is 0.14 M of the solar mass, that of the primary is below 0.86 M of the solar mass, perhaps as low as 0.12 M of the solar mass. (author)
