Abstract

Binary systems displaying spectroscopic segregation, whereby line spectra of the two components overlap little or not at all in wavelength, account for a small subset of LUV objects (late-type ultraviolet). Optical and ultraviolet (IUE) spectra for one such system, HD 15351+UV0225+13 (F4-5 V+sdO), are presented and a few related systems described. The role of LUV objects in establishing an absolute luminosity calibration for hot subdwarfs is emphasized, along with their significance for stellar evolution. A search strategy for additional spectroscopically segregated LUV objects is outlined.
