Atmospheric Elemental Abundances for the Components of the Multiple System ADS 11061. 41 Draconis

Abstract
We obtained speckle interferometric and spectroscopic observations of the system 41 Dra during its periastron passage in 2001. The components' lines are resolved in the spectral interval 3700–9200 Å. The observed wavelength dependence of the brightness difference between the components is used to estimate the BV indices separately for each of the components: BV = 0.511 for component a and BV = 0.502 for component b. We derived improved effective temperatures of the components from their BV values and hydrogen-line profiles. The observations can be described with the parameters for the components T<sup>a</sup><sub>eff</sub> = 6370 K, log ga  = 4.05 and T<sup>b</sup><sub>eff</sub> = 6410 K, log gb = 4.20. The iron, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances in the atmospheres of the components are log N(Fe)a = 7.55, log N(Fe)b = 7.60, log N(C)a = 8.52, log N(C)b = 8.58, log N(N)a = 8.05, log N(N)b = 7.99, log N(O)a = 8.73, log N(O)b = 8.76.©2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
