摘要：

We present moderate-resolution spectra obtained with the Georgia State University Multi-Telescope Telescope of 55 UMa, a triple system consisting of a 2.55 day spectroscopic binary and a third star in a 1873 day orbit (detected by speckle interferometry). We observed the spectral lines of all three stars, and we present radial velocity curves for both the close and wide orbits. We also present new speckle interferometric measurements and a revised solution of the astrometric (wide) orbit. The spectrum of each star was reconstructed using Doppler tomography, and we measured ratios of Fe I and Fe II lines in both the reconstructions and model synthetic spectra to estimate the stellar effective temperatures. These temperatures correspond to spectral types of A1 V and A2 V for the close pair and A1 V for the distant third star. We show that the metallic lines of the close pair are systematically strong, and we suggest that both objects are moderate Am stars. All the components have masses close to 2 M., and continued spectroscopic and astrometric observations will yield precise masses and absolute magnitudes.
