摘要
We have analyzed the UV photospheric lines of the short-period, double-lined O-star spectroscopic binary AO Cas. Archival data from IUE (16 spectra uniformly distributed in orbital phase) were analyzed with a tomography algorithm to produce the separate spectra of the two stars in six spectral regions. The spectral classifications of the primary and secondary, 09.5 Ill and 08 V, respectively, were estimated through a comparison of UV line ratios with those in spectral standard stars. An intensity ratio of 0.5-0.7 (primary brighter) at 1600 angstrom is compatible with the data.
