Precise orbital elements, masses and parallax of the spectroscopic–interferometric binary HD 26441
  • Research Summary
  • The orbit of the visual–speckle binary A 2801 (HD 26441) was calculated independently of the previously published double-lined spectroscopic solution, obtaining similar values for the common orbital elements. In this way, it has been possible to provide a consistent 3D orbit and precise values for both the orbital parallax and the individual masses of the components, so the physical properties of this stellar system are determined.

Physical and geometrical parameters of CVBS. XII. FIN 350 (HIP 64838)
  • Research Summary
  • A complete astrophysical and dynamical study of the close visual binary system (CVBS) Finsen 350 (A7V + F0V), is presented. Beginning with the entire observational spectral energy distribution (SED) and the magnitude difference between the subcomponents, Al-Wardat’s complex method for analyzing CVBS was applied as a reverse method of building the individual and entire synthetic SEDs of the system. This was combined with Docobo’s analytic method to calculate the new orbits. Although possible short (approximately 9 years) and long period (of about 18 years) orbits could be considered taking into account the similar results of the stellar masses obtained for each of them (3.07 and 3.41 M ⊙, respectively), we confirmed that the short solution is correct. In addition, other physical, geometrical and dynamical parameters of this system such as the effective temperatures, surface …

Physical and Orbital Properties of some Spectroscopic and Visual binaries. Ahmad Abushattal (AHU) and Mashhoor Al-Wardat (AABU)
    In this work will determine the physical parameters and orbital elements for some visual and spectroscopic binaries. This research will use different methods such as Al-Wardat, Docobo, and Tokovinin to provide a consistent 3D orbit, precise orbital parallax, and masses of individual components.
