Abstract: |
Binary stars are important astrophysical laboratories that permit the determination of
fundamental parameters. The masses and radii of the components can be derived if a good
understanding of the orbits is had. In the best case, even a distance may be determined
if results from spectroscopic and astrometric orbits are combined. Single-line spectroscopic
binaries are an exception to this statement because the secondary is not detected. In this
work we review traditional orbital solution routines and propose a method to find the
undetermined semi-major axis, and therefore the mass ratio, for single-line eclipsing
spectroscopic binaries using interferometric techniques. |
