Mk III Interferometer: Milliarcsecond “Visual” Orbits Of Spectroscopic Binaries

  • Conference paper
Very High Angular Resolution Imaging

Abstract

The spectroscopic binary observing program of the Mark III Optical Interferometer’ has produced four published orbits and 22 preliminary orbits. The mean (formal) precision is 0.3% for measurements of sin i and 0.7% for measurements of the semimajor axis a. We list the stars for which we have obtained orbits or preliminary orbits and describe our data and uncertainty analysis techniques.
