Spectroscopic orbits of nearby stars

Abstract

We observed stars with variable radial velocities to determine their spectroscopic orbits. Velocities of 132 targets taken over a time span reaching 30 years are presented. They were measured with the correlation radial velocity spectrometers (1913 velocities) and the new VUES echelle spectrograph (632 velocities), with typical accuracy of 0.5 and 0.2 km/s, respectively. We derived spectroscopic orbits of 57 stars (including 53 first-time orbits), mostly nearby dwarfs of spectral types K and M. Their periods range from 2.2 days to 14 years, some of those are Hipparcos astrometric binaries. Comments on individual objects are provided. Many stars belong to hierarchical systems containing three or more components, including 20 new hierarchies resulting from this project. The preliminary orbit of the young star HIP~47110B has a large eccentricity e=0.47 despite short period of 4.4 d; it could be still circularizing. Our results enrich the data on nearby stars and contribute to a better definition of the multiplicity statistics.
