Binarity: V334 Cyg 203 Orbital velocity (ground) Pulsation velocity (ground) MIRC visual orbit Gallenne et al. (203, A&A, 552, A2) Fig. 6. Left: fitted Pulsation (solid line) period and measured = 3.3 (bluedays dots) orbital velocity. Middle: fitted (solid line) and measured (blue dots) pulsation velocity. Right: orbit of V334 Cyg Ab. The data points are the MIRC results from Table 4. Orbital period = 5.3 years (2009). The final elements derived from our combined fit are Table 5. Fitted orbital and pulsation parameters of V334 Cyg
