Radial Velocities of Giant Stars in Globular Clusters
PUBLICATIONS OF THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC(2010)
摘要
We report radial velocities for 303 giant stars in the globular clusters M3, M13, M15, and M92. Spectra were obtained using the 4 m Mayall and 3.5 m WIYN telescopes and the Hydra fiber positioner between 1993 and 1997; most spectra were provided by the NOAO WIYN Queue Program. Observations spanned times from a few days to several months. The uncertainties in the velocity measurements are typically 1 km s(-1) or less. Several stars show velocity variations which may result from binary companions or atmospheric motions. Mean cluster velocities were measured to be -147.0 +/- 0.3, -245.5 +/- 1.0, -106.2 +/- 0.3, and -120.3 +/- 0.3 km s(-1), for M3, M13, M15, and M92, respectively. Radial velocity observations for the photometric variable V73 (vZ 1406) in M3 confirm that the star varies with a period of 0.67 days.
