A Preliminary Orbit for μ Cet from the Observations at the 6-m Telescope
Abstract
Construction of orbits with subsequent measurement of the component masses is one of the tasks of modern high angular resolution methods. We present a preliminary orbit for the speckle-interferometric binary μ Cet. Observations of this star system with the 6-m telescope were carried out by speckle-interferometry and lunar occultation methods. The orbital parameters derived from our interferometric solution differ substantially from those reported in the SB9 catalog. The resulting preliminary period of the system is 25.4 ± 0.3 years.
