The Binary-Star Hypothesis for the Nucleus of NGC 1514
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
It is well known that the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 1514 (α50 = 4h06m.1, δ50 = +30°39'; lII= 165·5, bII = −15·3) differs from the other planetary nuclei by its high brightness (relative to the nebula) and late-type spectrum. The difference B∗ – Bn = 1m.9, and especially the A0-spectral type (Chopinet, 1963) are quite atypical for central stars. For these reasons we began a complex study of this object (Kohoutek, 1967; Kohoutek and Hekela, 1967) on the basis of the following sources of observational material:
(1) Palomar Sky-Survey prints (Schmidt-camera, Palomar Observatory);
(2) direct photographs in UBV system with the 2-m Schmidt-camera in Tautenburg (1962);
(3) photoelectric UBV photometry with the 65-cm reflector at Ondřejov (1964–65),
(4) (4) spectrograms of the central star using the 122-cm reflector in Asiago (1965), and relatively infrequent observational data from the older literature.
