We present preliminary results of new spectroscopic observations of dwarf nova BZ UMa in quiescence. Fifty medium resolution spectra allow us to reproduce the radial velocity curve from the Hα emission line. We confirm that BZ UMa shows extremely unusual emission lines profiles, Unlike the classical single or the double-peaked profiles usually observed in spectra of dwarf novae, emission lines of BZ UMa consist of at least five peaks.

AbstractWe show that the discrepancies among the various measurements of the radial velocity curve of the K5 V star in the dwarf nova SS Cyg have been caused by (1) poor choices of lines for measuring its velocity and (2) large distortions in its velocity caused by heating from the white dwarf and its accretion disk. The correct K velocity of the center of mass of the K5 V star is 158 ± 3 km s−1.

AbstractTime resolved spectroscopy of the dwarf nova IP Pegasi in the range λλ 7670–8320Å shows absorption lines originating from the cool secondary. A radial velocity curve for this component has been derived by cross-correlation with a normal M star. The curve has semi-amplitude K2 = 288.3 ± 4 km s−1, and is slightly distorted. This distortion is equivalent to an orbit with an apparent eccentricity of 0.075 ± 0.024. The mass function of the primary is 0.394 ± 0.016M⊙. From this we derive constraints on the component masses of 0.62 < M1 < 1.14M⊙ and 0.17 < M2 < 0.71M⊙. The red star has a radius in the range 0.32 < R2 < 0.51R⊙ and is probably on the main sequence.

AbstractFrom the combination of VLBI phase-referenced observations and Hipparcos satellite data, we have found evidence of a low-mass object orbiting the late-type star AB Doradus. The mass of the new object is near the hydrogen burning limit and will constitute a precise point for calibrating the low end of the main sequence. This represents the first detection of a low-mass stellar companion using the VLBI technique, which could become an important tool in future searches for planets and brown dwarfs orbiting other stars.

AbstractNew radial velocity data for the pulsating extreme helium star V652 Her (BD+13°3224) have been obtained with a time resolution of 100 s. High frequency structure in the radial velocity curve is detected, and a comparison with previous data suggests that the detailed shape of the velocity curve is variable. The data imply that the effective surface gravity must increase by a factor of 4 at minimum radius.
