The eta Aquilae System: Radial Velocities and Astrometry in Search of eta Aql B

G. Fritz Benedict, Thomas G. Barnes, Nancy R. Evans +4

The classical Cepheid eta Aql was not included in past Leavitt Law work (Benedict et al. 2007) because of a presumed complicating orbit due to a known B9.8V companion. To determine…
