HD 185151 - A new active-chromosphere binary

Abstract

Spectroscopic and photometric observations of the K2III star HD 185151 are reported which establish it as a chromospherically active binary with an orbital period of 40.1 days. Reticon observation of the hydrogen alpha region shows a partially filled profile, owing presumably to chromospheric emission, as well as a blue emission wing extending out about 100 km/s. The light curve is effectively a double sine curve, and can be modeled by two starspots separated by almost exactly 180 deg in longitude.
