AbstractOptical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing binary SV Cen were used to derive orbital elements and absolute dimensions of the peculiar early-type contact system. UV spectroscopic observations obtained with the IUE satellite yielded the detection of mass loss from the system forming an expanding circumbinary envelope. SV Cen exhibits a non-uniform rate of period decrease, with major variations on a time scale of a few years. The period changes are explained in terms of loss of angular momentum carried away by the ejected matter. Short-term fluctuations of the stellar wind on a time scale of a few hours were found from an analysis of the envelope line profiles of UV resonance lines. A model of the system is derived, and the evolutionary stage and interaction processes are discussed.

Abstract66 Oph has shown recurrent short-lived outbursts nicely detected from ground-based and space (Hipparcos) photometry.Spectroscopic observations of He I 6678 and Hα lines were performed in June 1997 and June 1998. Search for short-term periodicities was done in He I 6678 line profiles as in equivalent width EW, radial velocity of the line centroid, and V and R components. At least two frequencies were present: ν = 4.0 c/d and ν = 2.2 c/d. The phase distribution of these frequencies over the line profile corresponds in the nrp frame to g-modes with ℓ ~ 3 − 4 and ℓ = 2 respectively.

We present here a preliminary report on the analysis of simultaneous photometric and spectroscopic observations of the Be star α Eri, taken during 1992 at the Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica. α Eri (Archenar, HR472, HD10144, B3–4 III-IV) is the brightest Be star in the sky. It shows activity cycles in a time scale of a few years. Balona et al. (1987) presented a comprehensive study of the star based on photometric and spectroscopic observations. They found a periodicity of 1.26 days in both radial velocity and light variations and argued that a spotted star rotating at this period is the simplest working model that explains the observations.

Abstract.Recent photometric and spectroscopic observations of the dwarf nova system Z Cha are discussed. Methods for constraining the system parameters are applied and the disc emissivity is deduced as a function of radius. Indications are found that the disc shrinks in size with increasing time after outburst.

We discuss the use of some new time transfer techniques for computing TAI time links. Precise point positioning (PPP) uses GPS dual frequency carrier phase and code measurements to compute the link between a local clock and a reference time scale with the precision of the carrier phase and the accuracy of the code. The time link between any two stations can then be computed by a simple difference. We show that this technique is well adapted and has better short-term stability than other techniques used in TAI. We present a method of combining PPP and two-way time transfer that takes advantage of the qualities of each technique, and shows that it would bring significant improvement to TAI links.
