double line spectroscopic binary    a distance measuring techniquegreater than 1000 Kelvin               spectroscopic binary  a spectroscopic binary in which periodic Doppler shift is detected in both components of the binary star each out of phase by 180 degrees 
Plaskett's star  O, B, A, and early FMonoceros 35000 K  very highspectroscopic binary   blue-white   He IIrare3 to 6 million years   HD 47129A very massive O-type giant with known anomalies in its spectrum. It is a spectroscopic binary in which mass exchange is occurring. Its spectrum can be interpreted to mean that each component has a mass of 75 Msun.III
single line spectroscopic binary     greater than 1000 Kelvin               spectroscopic binary  a spectroscopic binary in which periodic Doppler shift is detected in only one component of the binary star
