Novalike star TT Arietis: a binary system with conical accretion

Journal Article · · Sov. Astron. Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5961190
In October 1980, during its low-luminosity state, spectrograms of the novalike star TT Ari were obtained with the 6-m telescope. Between phases 0.5 and 0.6 of the 3/sup h/12/sup m/ orbital period the radial velocities jump abruptly, perhaps because the line of sight crosses a conical shock generated by accretion in this binary system.
