Abstract
AbstractRadial velocities have been determined for 243 southern barium and high proper motion stars based on 346 image-tube (IT) spectra. These spectra were obtained using the Yale 1-m telescope at CTIO with a dispersion of 43A/mm near H-gamma. All spectra were widened to 0.3 mm for MK spectral classification. Analysis of the measurements yields the following results:1.Of the 91 spectra scanned and reduced using the Yale PDS and cross-correlation (CC) procedures, the internal standard errors for stars of similar spectral type to the template or standard star are ±12 km/sec.2.Spectra of 130 southern high proper motion stars measured with a PSK-2 and a Grant comparator, the linear least squares solution yielded a mean internal error of ±7.5 km/sec.3.For the 125 IT spectra of southern barium stars scanned using a PDS at KPKO, radial velocities obtained using the linear portion of the s-curve and a Gaussian line fit procedure, the accuracy is about ±5.5 km/sec.4.Using standard stars and some published radial velocities, the comparison has shown that no systematic error exists between this study and those published data.
