Scientific paper

Gamma Cephei, an orange-yellow star with a visual magnitude of +3.2, is studied. Its absolute magnitude is 2.2, compared with 4.84 for the sun; the star is 11.5 times brighter than the sun and has a mass twice as great. It is believed that the systematic cyclic variations of radial velocity with periods longer than 5 yrs imply companion masses of 1.5-2.0 x Jupiter, namely, planetary masses.
