Abstract

We present new radial velocities of the high-mass X-ray binary star 4U 2206+54 based on optical spectra obtained with the Coude spectrograph at the 2m RCC telescope at the Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory, Bulgaria in the period November 2011 -- July 2013. The radial velocity curve of the HeI λ\lambda6678 \AA\ line is modeled with an orbital period Porb_{orb} = 9.568~d and an eccentricity of ee = 0.3. These new measurements of the radial velocity resolve the disagreements of the orbital period discussions.
