The Spectroscopic-Speckle Triple System HR 6469
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
HR 6469 consists of an evolved G5 star and a close pair of fainter stars, probably both on the main sequence. The period of the close pair is just over two days, and shallow eclipses have been detected (Boyd et al. 1985), although no analysis of the light curve has been published. The wide system has a period of about 5.5 years, and has been resolved by speckle interferometry (McAlister et al. 1983). The G5 star and the primary of the close pair are detectable in the spectrum, with the latter showing modest rotational broadening. Spectral types and rotational velocities for the evolved star and the brighter component of the close pair have been published by Strassmeier & Fekel (1990).
