The binary system Tau
Development of a rotating one-armed density wave by disturbed orbits
Due to a radial disturbance the gas particles of the disk are moving on excentric Kepler-orbits

Temporal development of the H-profile
(2003/09 to 2007/03)
Dispersion = 27Ǻ/mmR= λ/λ ≈ 14000

Temporal development of the Hα-profile between 2000 and 2006
All Profiles from 2000-2006. The vertical offset is proportional to time and corresponds to 25 days per continuum unit. The lowermost spectra date from Nov./2000 (left), Sep./2002 (middle) and Aug./2004 (right).
The spectra are published electronically in the form of ASCII-tables IBVS-Nr. 5813

Enlargement of the previous figure showing the data presented in this work in greater detail, also for comparison between values taken with
professional and amateur equipment.

Development of a rotating one-armed density wave by disturbed orbits
Due to a radial disturbance the gas particles of the disk are moving on excentric Kepler-orbits
This leads to V/R-variations
V/R of Hα show the same period as the radial velocies
Period duration = 1500 d
V/R-Variation as function of phase

The measured values vs. Julian date (open symbols) and the sine wave with P = 1471 d (plus signs).
Hα V/R-ratio
The residuals of the left panel, folded with P = 69.3 d and the respective sine fit. Shown are 1.4 cycles for clarification, i.e. 40% of the points are redundant.

Causes of the V/R variations
V/R variations in binary stars may be locked to the orbital phase
follow quasi-cyles typical 5-10 years
or combines these two types of variations with long-term trends
length and amplitude of the quasi-cycle vary from cycle to cycle

Conditions of the synchronisation of the V/R variations with the orbital periods ?
Several peculiarities of emission lines and their profiles can hardly be explained with one-armed oscillation model
