SPECTRAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE ALGOL - TYPE BINARY STAR δ LIBRAE

The results of spectral observations of the Algol-type binary star δ Lib are presented. The behavior of Hα and Hβ lines in the star’s spectrum during the orbital period phase is described. Based on our measurements of the radial velocities of the Hα and Hβ lines and using published data, the radial velocity curves of both components of the δ Lib system were constructed. In some phases of the orbital period, an absorption component was detected in the blue, or red, part of the Hα and Hβ line profiles. The observed Hα and Hβ absorption lines are attributed to the main component of the binary system δ Lib. It is assumed that the appearance of absorption components at these lines is associated either with suspicion of a third component in the system, or at these phases of the Hα and Hβ lines, the primary and secondary components of the δ Lib system are observed simultaneously.
