Guide to Spectrograms

This guide provides a comprehensive reference for spectrograms of AZCas, an eclipsing binary system consisting of an M0 cool giant and a B0 star. The spectrograms cover a wide range of wavelengths and include important calibration and reference spectra. The guide also highlights distinctive features and changes in the spectra of AZCas and provides approximate phase markings.

  1. John Menke john@menkescientific.com 082818 Guide to Spectrograms AZCas is about mag9 and is an eclipsing binary having an M0 cool giant and a B0 star (about mag11). Period is approximately 9 years in highly eccentric orbit (0.55). Primary eclipse was on approx 011213 Black-Averaged AZCas spectra from 031818. Provides a reference for all spectra. Wide absorption at 6495 used as initial wavelength calibration Red-Target AZCas spectrum. This spectrum shows occasional large changes which are the subject of the study. Most spectra shown are averages of 25-50 spectra. Yellow-Wavelength reference spectrum from nearby (7 a-min) star SAO11931 B0. After May 2018, a reference spectrum is taken after every 9 AZCas spectra. 6563-Nominal Ha line 6495 Distinctive group of iron lines used for rough wavelength calibration 6475 Weak line in common with AZCas and Spectrometer is homebuilt R=2-3000 on N18 telescope. Spectra shown are normalized over region 6470-6480 A.

  2. Note: AZCas schematic is taken from the Cowley 1977 paper with approximate phase markings added by Menke. Calculations of phase dates above are by Menke.

  3. Note: This slide shows 080618. Yellow is approximately one hour exposure early in evening. The system continued unattended, but lost guide star for approximately one hour, then automatically re-locked on star, yielding the red curve.

  4. Second Group—2018ff.
