Dynamical investigation of the multiple star ADS 9173 AB

Star ADS 9173=WDS 14135+5147=Hip 69483 is a complex system. The B component has a spectroscopic companion, whose orbit with a period of 4.9 years has been known since 1986. The Gaia telescope has detected a distant faint pair over 100 arcsec away from the bright AB pair. In our article, we study the movement in a bright pair based on long-term observations with the 26-inch refractor of the Pulkovo Observatory. The AB pair orbit with a period of 6306 years was calculated using the apparent motion parameters (AMP) method. The astrometric orbit of the component B was determined on the basis of the residuals of the homogeneous CCD observations up to 2023 with the 26-inch refractor. It is in agreement with the spectroscopic one. The remaining secondary residuals show a wave with a period of approximately 20 years, the reasons for which are discussed.
