Abstract
New spectra of the eclipsing binary V505 Mon (usually classified as B5 Ib) were obtained in the optical and UV regions. Only spectral lines of one component are visible, with K = 93 km s-1. According to arguments based on the extent of the disk the mass ratio might be about 0.30. The star with the visible spectral lines would then have a mass of 2.3, the other component of 7.7 $M_{\odot}$, i.e. their supergiant nature can be ruled out. The distance to the system appears to be about 1 kpc. Together with published photometric data, the spectroscopy provides clear evidence for the presence of a disk around the secondary component. The profiles of the C II 1335/6 doublet lines are used to derive the rotational velocity of the disk. The structure of the disk can be characterized by a central ionized zone surrounded by neutral outer parts. Additional matter of cloudy nature has to be present, and both components are embedded in an extended atmosphere. Abundance of carbon was found to be very low. Similarity with some other non-eclipsing binaries is discussed.


Key words: binaries: eclipsing -- stars: early-type -- stars: individual: (V505 Mon)

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
