Spectroscopic Binary: In a binary system that is too distant or in which the stars are too close together to be resolved, the two stars will appear as one.
spectroscopic binary A binary-star system which from Earth appears as a single star, but whose spectral lines show back-and-forth Doppler shifts as two stars orbit one another.
Spectroscopic binary- a very close double that is recognizable only by the periodic splitting of lines in the combined spectrum of the two stars, owing to the opposite Doppler effects resulting from their motions ...
spectroscopic binary system: A star system in which the stars are too close together to be visible separately. We see a single point of light, and only by taking a spectrum can we determine that there are two stars.
Spectroscopic Binary - A pair of stars whose binary nature can be detected by observing the periodic Doppler shifts of their spectral lines as they move about one another

spectroscopic binary - (n.)
binary star that can be distinguished from a single star only through analysis of the Doppler shift of the spectral lines of one or both stars as they revolve about their common center of mass.

13. In a spectroscopic binary, the orbital motion of the component stars appears as variations in their radial velocities. (Hint)
14. Once a binary is recognized, it is always possible to determine the masses of both components. (Hint) ...
A double-lined spectroscopic binary, Star Aa appears to be slightly more massive and so more highly evolved and cooler than companion Star Ab.
The orbit of a spectroscopic binary is determined by making a long series of observations of the radial velocity of one or more component of the binary. The observations are plotted against time, and from the resulting curve a period is determined.
spectroscopic binary two stars orbiting a common point at too great a distance away from us to resolve the two stars individually, ...
Alpha Octantis, a spectroscopic binary star that consists of two giants, is very faint, with a visual magnitude of only 5.15.
Beta Octantis, the second brightest star in the constellation, is a yellow-orange giant.
Gamma CrB is also a spectroscopic binary (period uncertain) as well as a very close visual binary (see below).

"Velocity curves" for the spectroscopic binary Pi Scorpii (derived from spectral Doppler shifts) show the back-and-forth velocities of each of the two components.
The interstellar medium (hereafter ISM) was first discovered in 1904, with the observation of stationary calcium absorption lines superimposed on the Doppler shifting spectrum of a spectroscopic binary.
Alhena is a spectroscopic binary with a period of 12.6 years and is the brightest star ever observed to be occulted by an asteroid.
Each of the components of Castor is itself a spectroscopic binary, making Castor a quadruple star system.
Interesting stars are: a Aurigae or Capella (the goat), one of the brightest stars in the heavens, determined by Newall and Campbell to be a spectroscopic binary; [3 Aurigae, a star of the second magnitude also a spectroscopic binary; e Aurigae, ...
Mizar itself can be split into two by a telescope, and each component of Mizar is also spectroscopic binary (meaning that the individual stars are too close to be separated, but their existence becomes apparent in shifts in the stars' spectra), ...
Each component is itself a spectroscopic binary. Component A is A 1 V, with a period of 9.22 days; component B is Am5 with a period of 2.93 days. Period of components A and B is about 380 years.
Edward Pickering discovered the first spectroscopic binary in 1899 when he observed the periodic splitting of the spectral lines of the star Mizar in a 104 day period.
This is sort of like the way that spectroscopic binary stars are detected - by looking at their changing spectra. The only difference here is that the star will not move very fast if it is being pulled by a puny (when compared to the star) planet.
Shaula is a blue B2IV+B subgiant star. According to the The Bright Star Catalog, the star is a spectroscopic binary. The companion star orbits with a 5.6 day period.
In these systems the spectrum is dominated by one of the two stars. Spectroscopic binary systems are usually detected due to the movement of the emission and absorption lines in the observed spectrum, ...
other "firsts" are associated with this constellation; the star Mizar was the first double star to be discovered through a telescope (1662), the first star to be photographed (1857), and the first star to be identified as a spectroscopic binary ...
For example, the star at the heart of the planetary nebula M2-9 (below) is a spectroscopic binary (a pair of stars orbiting so close to each other that we are unable to separate them in images).
4 nanometres does not share in the periodic displacements of the lines caused by the orbital motion of the spectroscopic binary star".
