The Spectroscopic orbit of ϕ Cygni, A System with two Late-Type Giants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2018
Abstract
Improved orbital elements for ϕ Cygni have been determined from 47 new high-dispersion spectroscopic observations. The period and eccentricity are 434.14 days and 0.559, respectively. Minimum masses plus the inclination of the visual orbit result in masses of 2.16 and 2.06 M⊙ for the two giants. The small magnitude difference of 0.25 mag and a mass ratio of 1.044 indicate that both giants are most likely in the helium-burning phase of their evolution.
Resumen
Se han determinado elementos orbitales mejorados para ϕ Cygni, mediante 47 nuevas observaciones espec-troscópicas. El período es 434.14 días y la excentricidad 0.559. Con las masas mínimas y la inclinación de la órbita visual obtenemos masas de 2.16 y 2.06 M⊙ para las dos gigantes. La pequeña diferencia de magnitudes (0.25 mag) y el cociente de masas (1.044) indican que ambas gigantes se encuentran en la fase evolutiva del quemado del helio.
