AE Phoenicis - a W UMa star with an elliptical orbit?
Abstract
Radial velocities of the two components of the W UMa system AE Phe were measured on 23 spectrograms. The masses of the stars are 1.3 and 0.57 M_odot, the radii are 1.2 and 0.8 R_odot. A possible slight ellipticity of the orbit is discussed.
