AbstractSpectroscopic observations of the B9p star ET and secured at the Bulgarian National Observatory Roshen in the years 1981–1984, consisting of 97 plates, show clearly a radial velocity period of 0.198 d - with a ratio to the photometrical period of exactly 2:1. This behaviour would hint at a close binary system; but there arise difficulties in explaining it by this way because of the extreme short period, so that pulsation must be taken into account. However, besides of the confident period of 0.198 d, there is evidence for shorter periods in the region of 45 min, which may be attributed only to pulsational processes.

AbstractWe report on a search for short-period binary systems composed of pairs of evolved stars. The search is being carried out concurrently with a program to characterize the kinematical properties of two different samples of stars. Each sample has produced one close binary candidate for which further spectroscopic observations are planned. We also recapitulate the discovery of a close detached binary system composed of two cool DA white dwarfs, and we discuss the null results of Hα observations of the suspected white dwarf/brown dwarf system G 29–38.

AbstractPhotoelectric observations in U, B, V, were carried out to study the possible rapid (during a night) fluctuations of the close binary system V1357 Cyg, including the X-ray source Cyg X-1. Assuming the existence of irregular fast light fluctuations in the X-ray source Cyg X-1,the conclusion can be drawn that during these observations in 1979 the amplitude of the variations did not exceed 0.04 mag.

We have investigated a recently obtained ROSAT X-ray observation of the massive binary 29 UW Canis Majoris (HR 2781; HD 57060). This short-period binary (4.3934 d) consists of two eclipsing O-type stars and has been observed for about 9 days with the ROSAT PSPC. We discuss the origin of the X-ray emission in the close binary system 29 CMa in the context of the traditional colliding wind scenario as well as the scenario of X-ray emission from shock heated gas in the stellar winds.

AbstractAU Peg, a short period BL Her-type variable, is unique among short period Cepheids. It is a member of a close binary system with an unseen companion. In t his paper the pulsational period variation is presented. It is shown that the period variation is very rapid and highly non-linear. It seems that there is no simple explanation of this phenomena by standard evolution or tidal interaction.

AbstractA survey of F, G, and W supergiants has been carried out with the DAO radial velocity spectrometer, an efficient instrument for detecting low-amplitude velocity variations in cool stars. Observations of 78 stars over five seasons show generally good agreement with OORAVEL results for spectroscopie binaries. The majority of supergiants show low-amplitude variability, with amplitudes typically 1 to 2 km s−1. The width of the cross-correlation profile has been measured for 58 supergiants. It reveals 14 stars with unusually broad lines, indicative of rotation velocities of 15 to 35 km s−1. Several have short-period binary companions and may be in synchronous rotation. The other broad-lined stars are apparently single or with long orbital periods; they may be making their first transition from the main sequence to become red supergiants.
