| Abstract: | VV Orionis is a detached eclipsing binary system consisting of stars of spectral types B1 V and B4 V with a period of 1.d4854. There is also a third component whose orbital period about the eclipsing pair is about 120 days. In recent years there have been several new photoelectric and spectroscopic investigations of this system, and the results of these are compared. Both the geometric and photometric orbital elements appear to be well determined. VV Ori A appears to be of normal size and mass for its spectral class, but VV Ori B seems to be somewhat smaller than would be expected for a normal B4 V star. Linear limb-darkening coefficients are derived for VV Ori A, and these are in good agreement with theory. This system is of particular importance, because it is only one of very few earlytype systems for which reliable limb-darkening coefficients can be expected to be obtained. The contribution of the light of the third component to the system has also been determined, and it appears most likely that VV Ori C is a star of spectral type A3 V.Paper presented at the Lembang-Bamberg IAU Colloquium No. 80 on  Double Stars: Physical Properties and Generic Relations , held at Bandung, Indonesia, 3–7 June, 1983. |
