Constrained fitting of disentangled binary star spectra: application to V615 Persei in the open cluster h Persei

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Context. Using the technique of spectral disentangling, it is possible to determine the individual spectra of the components of a multiple star system from composite spectra observed at a range of orbital phases. This method has several advantages: it is unaffected by line blending, does not use template spectra, and returns individual component spectra with very high signal-to-noise ratios.
