Bibinfo (this paper at ADS): Echevarria, J., Smith, R.C., Costero, R., Zharikov, S., Michel, R. 2008, MNRAS, 387, 1563-1574.
Type: Observational: Optical spectroscopy.
Object(s):: AE Aqr.
Results: The absorption-line radial velocity amplitude is determined to be K2=168.7+/-1 km/s, and inclination is estimated to be ~70 deg from the rotational velocity curve. The secondary changes between K0 and K4 depending on the orbital phase, and masses are estimated to be 0.63 Msun and 0.37 Msun. The secondary is ~2 times larger than the main sequence star of the same mass.
