Stars, Binary, Spectra— Individual Ry Sct
Scientific paper
Spectral observations of the eclipsing binary RY Sct during 2005 and 2009 on the 2.6-m telescope at the Byurakan Observatory are reported. Although RY Sct requires further, more detailed study, the present limited observations reveal a number of important aspects of this star. The maxima of the equivalent widths are observed close to the primary minimum, while their minima are detected at the brightness maximum, where the spectral lines have very narrow profiles. Emission in the HeI λ6678Å line was seen throughout the observation period, but transforms into weak absorption halfway between the secondary minimum and the maximum. The observed P-Cyg type changes in the profile of some lines indicates a variable outflow of mass from the star. Estimates of the average velocity based on the blue components of the absorption lines yield roughly 400 km/s. The main observational characteristics of RY Sct are closely related to its orbital period. In all likelihood, its complicated spectrum and features are at least partially caused by intense, variable outflows of matter.
