We have used the 2D-Coudé spectrograph of the 2.7-m telescope at McDonald Observatory at a resolution of 60,000. We use an iodine cell which provides us with permanent wavelength reference.
γ Equ was observed for a period of approximately 6 hours. The signal to noise ratio was variable due to the presence of clouds. A typical value for the “good” spectra is 80.
The use of a large detector provides us with complete spectral coverage from 5,000 to 6,000 Å (the region where I2 lines are most visible and useful as a wavelength reference). This allowed us to expand over our previous work analyzing the pulsations of γ Equulei through the use of spectroscopy.
