Radial velocities derived from echelle spectra are best-fit with a circular orbit having orbital period P = 483.3 +- 1.6 days and semi-amplitude K = 7.34 +- 0.07 km/sec. Combined with previous data, these observations rule out an elliptical orbit at the 10-sigma level. Equivalent widths of H~I Balmer emission lines and various absorption features vary in phase with the orbital period. Relative to the radius of the red giant primary, the apparent size of the H II region is consistent with a model where a hot secondary star with effective temperature of roughly 75,000 K ionizes the wind from the red giant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-04-15T20:34:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "additional evidence", "photoionized wind", "orbital period", "andromedae", "balmer emission lines" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
