This study is a first part of an analysis of newly obtained time series of high-resolution
échelle spectra of the RS CVn star SV Cam.
We investigate the radial velocity variations of the spectroscopic binary and derive an improved
orbital solution for both components.
The results allow us to estimate the masses of the primary to 1.1 and of the secondary to 0.7
and, from a previous analysis of the lightcurve of SV Cam, we derive the stellar radii
of 1.18
for the primary and of 0.76
for the secondary.
From a compilation of eclipse minimum times spanning a period of over 100 years we
compute the orbital elements of a hypothetical third body belonging to the SV Cam system.
We obtain a period of 52.3 years which is slightly longer than derived by authors before and a much
higher eccentricity of at least 0.42. From the mass function there follows a lower limit to
the third body mass of 0.17
. The applied procedure also provides an optimized period of eclipses of 0
59307180.
