Abstract:
A series of 353 red electronic spectra (from three observatories,
mostly from 6300 to 6700Å) obtained between 1994 and 2010, and of
171 UBV photometric observations (from two observatories) of the 2010
eclipse, were analyzed in an effort to better understand epsilon Aur,
the well-known, but still enigmatic eclipsing binary with the longest
known orbital period (∼27yrs).
Description:
The file table1a.dat contains measurements of a central intensity
(CI), an equivalent width (EW) and a radial velocity (RV) of various
lines (H-alpha, Si6347, Si6371, Fe6417 and Fe6433) made on spectra
secured at the Ondrejov Observatory (OND). The file table1b.dat
contains the same measurements but for spectra secured at the Dominion
Astronomical Observatory (DAO) and the file table1c.dat for spectra
secured at the Castanet-Tolosan Observatory (CTO). For CTO spectra,
the H-alpha line was not measured. Note that the H-alpha line during
an eclipse has two absorption cores and both were measured. But a word
of caution is needed here - these measurements are done on original
spectra, not on spectra after the correction presented in Sect. 4 of
the related paper. The radial velocity of the Halpha emission was
measured by matching V and R peak maxima of a normal and an inversed
line profile. Note that table1a.dat tabel1b.dat and table1c.dat
contain "blanks" for measurements which were not done. Its was due to
a high asymetry of a particular line or its high degree of blending
with strong teluric lines (or disappearing of an Halpha peak) which
disables a reasonable measurement of given line characteristics. The
file table2b.dat contains U,B,V photometry of eps Aur secured at the
Hvar Observatory. The file table2a.dat contains U,B,V photometry of
HR 1644 (a check star for eps Aur photometry presented in table2a.dat)
secured at the Hvar Observatory. Entire information about all data
sets can be found in the related paper in Sect. 2.
