Abstract
AbstractThe high resolution ultraviolet spectra of the 4.4-day period binary R Arae, observed in 1980 with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), show that its continuum flux level varied outside of eclipse by more than a factor of two in ten days, and by over 50 percent within a same orbital cycle. The flux level varied non-monotonically at different wavelengths. The resonance lines of Mg II and Si IV exhibited shortward–shifted absorption components near phase 0.4, indicating the presence of a gas stream toward the observer at a velocity of some –450 to –500 km s–1. Our observations of R Arae with the Einstein satellite show it to be an X–ray source.
