Variations in the ultraviolet MG II lines of Beta Persei

  • 1. Florida Univ., Gainesville (USA). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

Copernicus satellite observations have been used to study changes in the Mg II lines in the neighbourhood of 2800 A in Algol during eclipse. The resonance lines near lambda 2800 show doubling near the bottom of primary eclipse. A possible explanation suggested here is that emission from component B fills the line centres; the absolute magnitude thus derived for component B agrees with other values in the literature.
