The RV semiamplitudes of all known sdB binaries with reflection effects and spectroscopic solutions plotted against their orbital periods (Kupfer et al., in prep.). Diamonds mark eclipsing sdB binaries of HW Vir type where the companion mass is well constrained, triangles systems without eclipses, where only lower limit can be derived for the companion masses. Squares mark CPD-64°481, PHL 457, KBS 13 and BPS CS 221690001. Open symbols mark systems that have been discovered based on photometry, filled symbols have been discovered based on spectroscopy. The dashed lines mark the regions to the right where the minimum companion masses derived from the binary mass function (assuming 0.47 M for the sdBs) exceed 0.01 M (lower curve) and 0.08 M (upper curve).
