Improved orbital elements have been determined for 39 Ceti and HD 185151.39 Cet has a circular orbit with an orbital period of 56.82 days, which differs substantially from its rotational period of 75-78 days. An observation of the lithium region of 39 Cet shows that the G5 III component has almost no lithium in its outer atmosphere. HD 185151 has a circular orbit with an orbital period of 40.142 days and has a nearly identical rotational period. The large mass function suggests that the secondary is a late A to mid F type star whose continuum should be visible at …
