Eta Orionis is an interesting multiple system of early type stars. It consists of a visual triple system (A, B, C), a spectroscopic triple system (Aabc) and an eclipsing binary Aab. A is a triple system consisting of a 7.989 day eclipsing binary Aab and a gravitationally bound third component Ac with orbital period of about 9.5 years. All components of the pair AB have spectral types in the range 09-B3 (C. Waelkens & P. Lampens 1988). The radial velocity curve is used to constrain the orbital elements and properties of the binary Aab.

The second component Ab is a B-type star that displays rapid absorption line profile variability. Regular patterns are easily visible in the data.
