Scientific paper

The apparent orbit of the double-lined spectroscopic binary Alpha Equulei was measured using observations, from June 13, 1989 to September 15, 1990, with the Mark III Optical Interferometer. The results, combined with the spectroscopic results of Rosvick and Scarfe (1991), were used to obtain estimates of the masses of the components, their absolute magnitudes, and the distance to the system. In addition, the magnitude differences between the components were determined at four wavelengths; these were combined with the colors reported by Stickland (1976) to derive colors for the two Alpha Equulei components and to estimate their spectral types.
