Analysis reveals a close binary system within Be star o Cas, suggesting future observational significance.
Analysis of radial velocities of two narrow absorption components in the 4481 Å line demonstrated that the secondary of the Be star o Cas is indeed a close binary system composed of two B7 stars orbiting each other with a period of 11 Mg ii Orbital solutions and spectral disentangling lead to consistent system properties. The system is extremely important for the research of Be stars since its future interferometric observations with a high spatial resolution could allow the mass and perhaps even the radius of a Be star to be derived without too many model assumptions, mainly on the dynamical grounds.
