DOI 10.1080/10556790500483618
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper the spectrophotometric and photometric data obtained for the sgB[e] star MWC 314 and the cPNB[e] star OY Gem during 2001–2004 at the high-mountain Assy-Turgen observatory are given. In the spectrum of MWC 314 the Hα, Hβ, He I and numerous Fe II intensity lines and the forbidden [N II] and [O I] lines are present. A variation in the intensity of the Hα lines relative to the continuum (from 24 to 33) is observed. During this time the equivalent width (EW) of the Hα line was changed in the limits 138–178Å,and the brightness magnitudes in the ranges V=9.82−9.96, B−V=1.77−1. 82 and V−R=1.53−1.64. The EW of the Hα is related to the star’s colour index B−V; as the EW increases, the B−V colour index is increased. In the spectrum of OY Gem the Hα, Hβ, He I and numerous Fe II intensity lines and the forbidden [Fe I], [N II], [O I], [O II], [O III] and [S II] lines are present. A variation in the intensity of the Hα lines relative to the continuum (from 100 to 138) is observed. During this time the EW of the Hα line was changed in the limits 700–955 Å,and the brightness magnitudes in the ranges V=11.05−11.36, B−V=0.32−0.38 and V−R=0.70−1.10. No correlation between the brightness V with either the colour indices or the EW of the Hα has been observed.
