$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[angle=-90,width=8.8cm,clip]{3517fig1.ps} \end{figure}$ Figure 1: Radial velocity curve for Cen X-4 computed using a K7 V template. Observations were performed on 26 (triangles), 27 (dots) and 28 (stars) May 2001. Two phases are shown for clarity. The best sine-wave fit is also shown (see Sect. 4.1).

Arbitrary vertical offsets have been applied for clarity.

The trailed spectra are shown in the upper panels and, for clarity, the same cycle has been plotted twice. The Roche lobe of the secondary and the predicted velocity of the gas stream are plotted for K₂ = 145.8 km s^-1 and q=0.18. Distances are marked along the curve in open circles and are in multiples of 0.1R_L1. The center of mass of the system and the neutron star position are denoted by crosses.
