What is it about ?

This database concerns the star alpha Draconis (Thuban, HD123299), a relatively bright spectroscopic binary of type A0III (V=3.68), with an orbital period of 51 days.

The goal is to obtain a maximum of spectra of this star over at least two periods in order to evaluate the orbital parameters and to compare them to previous professional measurements.

The objective here is to have a support to facilitate the centralization of the spectra and to allow everyone to access the data easily.

All data is thus publicly accessible, without the need for a user account.

In addition to the possibility to download these raw spectra, several tools are available, more information here : Campaign details - How this database works ?
