The SU Ursa Majoris star CU Velorum: physical parameters, Doppler imaging and photometric time series.

MENNICKENT R.E. and DIAZ M.

Abstract (from CDS):

Time resolved Hα spectroscopy and differential photometry at the U, B bands, reveal an orbital period of 1.884±0.005h and a K radial velocity semiamplitude of 49±6km/s. The dynamical solution and spectroscopic measures indicate a mass ratio M2/M1=0.115±0.005, a primary mass M1=1.23±0.23M, a secondary mass M2=0.15±0.03M and an inclination angle i=59±6deg. Doppler imaging reveals a line emissivity decreasing with radius as r–1.4. Smooth 0.11mag semiamplitude periodic oscillations at U and B bands, Hα V/R variations and equivalent width oscillations up to 15% of the mean value, could be due to a hotspot located in the stream-disk impact region. This picture is supported by the Hα Doppler tomogram.
