WZ Sge was observed spectroscopically during quiescence in August 1978 and July 1979, before and after the December 1978 outburst. The same instrumental set up was used, namely the Image Photon Counting System on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Time resolved spectra were obtained in phase over several orbital periods, in wavelength ranges covering Hβ and Hγ and also separately Hα. These data are being used to study the “before and after” changes in the emission line profiles, in the radial velocities of the S-wave and of the emission lines, and in the broad absorption line profiles. Additionally these features are being studied as a function of orbital phase in order to improve the determination of system parameters. When completed, the results will be published elsewhere. |
