WDS 20374+7536 HEI 7 (VW Cep) : NOTES
 
 
discov_num notes refcode
HEI 7 The primary is the class W eclipsing SB VW Cep, P = 0.278 d. The
light amplitude is 0.5 mag. and the light curve is variable.
The Hershey (1975) orbit is astrometric; only the value of the Hry1975
semi-major axis was computed after the companion was resolved. The
ascending node is tentatively identified from what appears to be a
lighttime effect superimposed on intrinsic period changes in the
eclipsing pair.
See Baize & Petit (1989) catalog of doubles with variable component. Baz1989d
BD+74@889, (mag. 7.9, G5) one degree distant, shares common proper
motion and radial velocity.
Pribulla & Rucinski (2006) estimate the mass of the contact pair at Pbl2006
1.781 Msun and the minimum mass of the wider component at 0.42 Msun.
