Abstract
[en] This thesis presents an optical & X-ray study of the Be + sdO binary φ Persei. Optical spectra gathered over two decades by amateur astronomers are used to obtain a new orbital solution for the system. Then, Chandra observations are used to constrain the system’s X-ray emission as well as determine its dependence on the orbital phase using the new orbital solution.
