... Note that in the low-mass model, the ``secondary'' is more massive than the visible ``primary''; however, we shall follow the convention used in most of the Aurig? literature and continue to refer to the F star as the primary because it is clearly the primary source of luminosity of the system. Doppler shifts of absorption lines seen during eclipse imply an orbital velocity at the edge of the secondary more compatible with the low-mass model (Saito et al. ...
