We have employed an extensive new timeseries of Stokes I and V spectra obtained with the ESPaDOnS spectropolarimeter at the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to investigate the physical parameters, chemical abundance distributions and…
ASAS photometric observations of LS 1135, an O-type SB1 binary system with an orbital period of 2.7 days, show that the system is also eclipsing. This prompted us to re-examine the spectra used in the previously published spectroscopic…
We studied both components of a slightly overlooked visual binary HR 1847 spectroscopically to determine its basic physical and orbital parameters. Basic stellar parameters were determined by comparing synthetic spectra to the observed…
We report long baseline interferometric observations with the CHARA Array that resolve six previously known double-lined spectroscopic binary systems in the Hyades cluster, with orbital periods ranging from 3 to 358 days: HD 27483, HD…
We report spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the high-proper motion double-lined binary system HD 9939, with an orbital period of approximately 25 days. By combining our radial-velocity and visibility measurements we estimate…
We present high resolution echelle spectra taken during four observing runs from 1999 to 2001 of the recently X-ray/EUV selected chromospherically active binary BK Psc (2RE J0039+103). Our observations confirm the single-lined spectroscopic…
The spectroscopic orbit of a high proper motion visual binary system BD +30 2129 component A is determined from 22 CORAVEL-type radial velocity measurements. A period of P = 32.79 days and a moderate eccentricity e = 0.29 are obtained. The…
Radial-velocities for the early-type stars in the Pleiades cluster have always been challenging to measure because of the significant rotational broadening of the spectral lines. The large scatter in published velocities has led to claims…

We report 370 measures of 170 components of binary and multiple star systems, obtained from speckle imaging observations made with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument at Lowell Observatory's Discovery Channel Telescope in 2015…
A new determination of the orbit of the Hyades double-lined spectroscopic binary HD 27149 is presented. The well-defined orbit provides the spectroscopic basis for an extremely accurate orbital parallax for the system -- in particular, the…
From optical photometry we show that SDSSJ121258.25-012310.1 is a new eclipsing, post common-envelope binary with an orbital period of 8.06 hours and an eclipse length of 23 minutes. We observed the object over 11 nights in different bands…
We present the first orbital elements for the massive close binary, HD 101131, one of the brightest objects in the young, open cluster, IC 2944. This system is a double-lined spectroscopic binary in an elliptical orbit with a period of…
I present results from an optical spectroscopic investigation of the binary system HD 42401 (V1388 Ori; B2.5 IV-V + B3 V). A combined analysis of V-band photometry and radial velocities indicates that the system has an orbital period of…
