I will put you on my preprint list, for when the papers come out. > Concerning PG2300+166, did you record the magnitude when you took a > spectrum (or may be guessed from the required exposure time)? If the > object is really a precataclysmic binary, and the object was in a bright > phase (not in an eclipse), it may display narrow emission lines arising > from the secondary facing the hot subdwarf. If your spectrum showed > a subdwarf without peculiarities, it seems to be a single subdwarf. > I would like to know your opinion. Here the magnitudes I have deconvolved from the spectra in my thesis (on its way to you): >From the one taken 1989 Nov 9, 4:25 UT, taken by Prof. John Thorstensen: V = 13.02, the spectrum covers 100% of the filter response curve R = 12.79, the spectrum covers 82% of the filter response curve >From the red one, taken 1991 Oct 20, 2:01 UT, taken by me: R = 13.33, the spectrum covers 75% of the filter response curve I = 13.00, the spectrum covers 65% of the filter response curve Keep in mind, too, that these spectra were taken through a slit, and so may not be very accurate, photometrically. =========================================================================== Fred Ringwald ... to further the progress of science, Department of Physics to guide to an understanding Keele University, Keele of the majesty of the heavens, Staffordshire, ST5 5BG to emphasize that England under the great celestial firmament, there is order, interdependence, and unity.
