ES Dra is found to have an orbital period of 0.17660 \\pm 0.00006 d (4.2384 \\pm 0.0014 h). The mass-losing secondary star of ES Dra is detectable in the spectrum, and it has a spectral type of M2 \\pm 1. From this, we estimate the absolute magnitude of ES Dra during our spectroscopic observations to have been MR = 6.5 \\pm 0.5, and its distance to be 720 \\pm 150 pc. The long-term light curve of ES Dra compiled by the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) shows that ES Dra is a Z Cam star, which between 1995 and 2009 spent most of its time in standstill.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-07-21T06:13:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "orbital period", "dwarf nova", "variability", "long-term light curve", "radial velocity study" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.newast.2011.07.007", "journal": "New Astronomy", "year": 2012, "month": "Feb", "volume": 17, "number": 2, "pages": 108 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 919459, "adsabs": "2012NewA...17..108R" } } }
