High-resolution spectroscopic observations of the eclipsing RS CVn-type active
close binaries SV Camelopardalis and XY Ursae Majoris reveal excess
emission components in the Hα and Hβ lines. We have used the
spectral subtraction technique to separate the excess emission from the
photospheric background and find that in both stars the excess emission
is associated with the secondary, cooler component. Analysis of the
/
ratio indicates that in both cases the
emission is probably associated with surface plage regions or prominences
viewed against the stellar disks. We find no evidence of excess absorption
features associated with extended prominence-like material in these systems.
