Orbit of the visual binary star 61 Cyg

Abstract

We present the orbit and the mass estimates for the components of the visual binary star 61 Cyg obtained with the positional observations, including the high-precision Gaia data, and the measurements of differences in the radial velocities and the radial accelerations of the components. Since the orbital period of this star significantly exceeds the period of observations, using the radial velocities and the radial accelerations allows us to reduce uncertainty in the determination of the orbital elements and the total mass of the system.
