LS I +65 010 radial velocities and Halpha EW

We present revised orbital elements that yield a period of P=11.5983+/-0.0006days and confirm that the orbit has a nonzero eccentricity e=0.18+/-0.05. The Halpha emission profile is formed in the base of the wind of the B supergiant primary, and we show how this spectral feature varies on timescales that are probably related to the rotational period of the B supergiant.

We also examine the X-ray fluxes from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor instrument, and we show that the X-ray orbital light curve has a maximum at periastron and a minimum at the inferior conjunction of the B supergiant. We also show that the wind emission strength and the high-energy X-ray flux appear to vary in tandem on timescales of approximately 1yr.
