theta Cep radial velocity curve

The observations were carried out at the University Observatory Jena with the echelle spectrograph FLECHAS. The results from the main part of our target sample are already published.

For the final target of this campaign, theta Cep, we can now present an orbital solution based on a homogeneously covered radial velocity curve. The period of this single-lined spectroscopic binary turns out to be significantly larger and the orbit is much more eccentric compared to the given values in the 9th Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (Pourbaix et al., Cat. B/sb9).
