HD 61827 – Spectral AnalysisAstr 8600 Class Project Presentation Paramita Barai 8th Dec, 2003
Background • HD 61827 – Star in Cluster (NGC 2439) • RA = 07h 39m 49.3s • Dec = -32 34 42.1 • B mag. = 8.11 • V mag. = 7.66 • Spectral Type: • O8 / O9Ib (1997 A&A…323L..49P) • B3 Ia (Turner, 1977 AJ…82..805T) • I think B3 supergiant • Parallax = 0.63 mas
Spectra observed • KPNO Coude Feed Telescope • 2 observing runs : • Oct 2000 – 8 spectra • Dec 2000 – 17 spectra
AnalysisSpectral Type • No HeII in absorption • Cooler than O supergiant • Strong carbon doublet absorption • B3 Supergiant
Single star with convective atmosphere • Spectral lines varied by small amount & randomly • H in emission – double peaked, randomly varying • Convective wind flow around star, atmospheric turbulence • Stellar absorption lines affected by the emission from gaseous envelope

Results • Single, B3 supergiant • Gaseous envelope around the star • Varied with ~ 5 days periodicity • More observations required to study the complex motions in the atmosphere accurately
