Table of Stellar Radial Velocities Determined at the Allegheny Observatory in the Years 1906-1917

Abstract

A total of 3144 unpublished radial velocity measures of stars were in the files of the Allegheny Observatory. These were all from the era 1906-1917 and constitute a valuable contribution to the knowledge of radial velocities of stars. A total of 130 stars are represented, most of which are binary stars. Many of these binary stars have remained unsolved over the years because of lack of similar published data. The measures, themselves, were mostly raw measures without reduction and velocity calculations. The work of reducing these measures and calculating the respective radial velocities is now complete.
