Physical parameters for subdwarf B stars with composite spectra R. Aznar Cuadrado, C.S. Jeffery, Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG New intermediate-resolution spectra have been obtained for a number of subdwarf B stars having both single and composite spectra. Physical parameters have been determined for the sdB stars and, in composite-spectrum systems, their cool companions. ... The surface gravity of the cool star is measured using the infrared calcium triplet. ...
