I 879 pi Cen.
The spectral lines are very poor; the RV range of 30km/s is probably
mere scatter. A few more speckle obs needed to constrain eccentricity.
1976.474: This system was observed within a few months of periastron. BLM1978
Hipparcos parallax 9.12 +/- 0.34 mas. Dynamical parallax 9.1 mas,
masses 6.43 and 3.68 Msun. The orbit by Mason et al. (1999) had to be Msn1999a
revised using our measures near the periastron. The high eccentricity
e = 0.853 is now well established. Tok2012b
Malkov et al. (2012) derive dynamical, photometric, and spectroscopic
masses of 15.29 +/- 3.02, 8.37, and 4.79 Msun, respectively. Mlk2012
