... For GK Hya excess emis­ sion was observed in the Balmer lines and Mg I b lines while TY Pyx showed excess emission in the Balmer lines and Ca II H & K lines. The emission from GK Hya arises from a global phenomenon associated solely with the secondary component. The lack of significant He I D 3 excess absorption and an analy­ sis of the flux ratio in the Balmer lines suggest that the emission originates in prominence­like material seen off the limb of the star. ...
