Description

The double-lined spectroscopic binary HDE 228766 is shown to consist of a very early Of star and a rapidly rotating, late 0 supergiant. As a consequence of this reinterpretation of the spectrum, an earlier conclusion that the emission-line star is much less massive than its companion requires reconsideration. Subject headings: binaries - early-type stars - stars, individual
