Scientific paper

A photometric and spectroscopic study of the Type II Cepheid AU Pegasi indicates it is a member of a binary with a period of no more than about 50 days. Constraints on the orbit indicate the companion is likely to be more massive than AU Peg and may be a compact object. The light curve, pulsation-velocity curve, and spectrum of AU Peg are consistent with its Cepheid nature. However, the colors are peculiar, and the large period changes remain to be explained.
