Speckle Interferometric Observation of WDS 14564$+$8503

POSTER

Abstract

Speckle interferometric observations of the tertiary system WDS 14564$+$8503 were made in order to measure the position angle (theta) and separation (rho) of the AB component, and were found to be 291.516\textdegree \textpm 0.098\textordmasculine and 3.433'' \textpm 0.010'', respectively. The measurements showed a continuation of the linear motion trend, but were inconclusive in confirming whether or not the AB component is gravitationally bound.
