SiIII spectrum of Epsilon Persei - HD 24760 - SAO 56840 [B0.5V+] - 2017-02-14

Specs



Eps Per is monitored in the project BRITE.
There are several satellites which are do photometrie of this and other 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.
