Description
LoTr 5 is a planetary nebula with an unusual long-period binary central
star. The pair consists of a rapidly rotating G-type star and a hot
star, which is responsible for the ionization of the nebula. Both
components are in a wide orbit with a period of about 2700 days, one of
the longest in central star of planetary nebulae. In this contribution,
we present new radial velocity observations of the central star. These
data provide evidence of a third component in the system at 129 days to
the G star. This periodicity is also present in the photometry of this
target from the superWASP survey, providing an additional hint for its
presence. We also present a detailed analysis of the complex Halpha
double-peaked profile, which varies with very short time scales, and
whose origin is still unknown. We conclude that it does not present
correlation with the rotation period (˜5.95 days and detectable in
all photometric time series from superWASP, OMC and ASAS) and that the
presence of an accretion disk via Roche lobe overflow is unlikely.
