A Spectroscopic Study of β Aurigae.

Abstract

Twenty-six coudé spectrograms of $ Aurigae, taken in 1943, were measured for radial velocity, and new orbital elements were computed. A total of 67 lines was measured, with dispersion of 2.2 A/mm at X 4071 to 4.6 A/mm at X 4630. The spectrograms were examined for possible variations in intensities and contours of spectral lines at or near eclipse phase and at times of maximum velocity, but the result was negative
