Speckle Interferometry of New and Problem HIPPARCOS Binaries
The ESA Hipparcos satellite made measurements of over 12,000 doublestars and discovered 3406 new systems. In addition to these, 4706entries in the Hipparcos Catalogue correspond to double star solutionsthat did not provide the classical parameters of separation and positionangle (rho,theta) but were the so-called problem stars, flagged ``G,''``O,'' ``V,'' or ``X'' (field H59 of the main catalog). An additionalsubset of 6981 entries were treated as single objects but classified byHipparcos as ``suspected nonsingle'' (flag ``S'' in field H61), thusyielding a total of 11,687 ``problem stars.'' Of the many ground-basedtechniques for the study of double stars, probably the one with thegreatest potential for exploration of these new and problem Hipparcosbinaries is speckle interferometry. Results are presented from aninspection of 848 new and problem Hipparcos binaries, using botharchival and new speckle observations obtained with the USNO and CHARAspeckle cameras.
| Photoelectric radial velocities, Paper XIII - 406 ninth-magnitude K0 stars in the Clube Selected Areas
Radial velocities are given for 406 ninth-magnitude late-type stars. Thestars are grouped in 10 small regions located on a systematic plan atGalactic latitudes of + or - 35 deg. Each star has been observed atleast twice, and the mean velocities are accurate to about less than 1km/s. Thirty spectroscopic binaries have been discovered; orbits havealready been given for 13 of them, and observations of the others arecontinuing.
