  The 6.4 day classical Cepheid AW Per is a spectroscopic binary with a period
of 40 years. Analyzing the centroids of HST/STIS spectra obtained in November
2001, we have determined the angular separation of the binary system. Although
we currently have spatially resolved data for a single epoch in the orbit, the
success of our approach opens the possibility of determining the inclination,
sini, for the system if the measurements are repeated at additional epochs.
Since the system is potentially a double lined spectroscopic binary, the
combination of spectroscopic orbits for both components and the visual orbit
would give the distance to the system and the masses of its components, thereby
providing a direct measurement of a Cepheid mass.
