2MASS J05162881+2607387: A New Low‐mass Double‐lined Eclipsing Binary

We show that the star known as 2MASS J05162881+2607387 (hereafter J0516) is a double-lined eclipsing binary with nearly identical low-mass components. The spectroscopic elements derived from 18 spectra obtained with the High Resolution Spectrograph on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope during the fall of 2005 are K1 = 88.45 ± 0.48 and …
