Hα spectrum of Epsilon Persei - HD 24760 - SAO 56840 [B1.5III]
Eps Per is monitored in the project BRITE. There are several satellites which are doing photometric of this and other bright stars. In a ProAm cooperation, amateurs deliver spectra to allow the proffessionals to make models of pulsation of stars from the satellite and spectra data. |
