Abstract

We present the results of spectral analyses of three bright, single lined subdwarf B (sdB) stars (UVO 1735+22, PG 0133+114, and PG 0001+275), recently discovered as radial velocity variable. Their velocity curves are measured from high resolution (R ≈ 30000) optical spectra obtained at the DSAZ (Calar Alto, Spain) using the FOCES spectrograph at the 2.2m telescope. The orbital periods and amplitudes of the binary systems are determined and the masses of the unseen companions are constrained. The radial velocity corrected, coadded spectra are analysed for the surface element abundances. All stars are slow rotators and show similar abundance pattern as other bona fide sdB stars.
