We present orbital parameters for six double-lined spectroscopic binaries (iota Pegasi, omega Draconis, 12 Bootis, V1143 Cygni, beta Aurigae, and Mizar A) and two double-lined triple star systems (kappa Pegasi and eta Virginis). The orbital fits are based upon high-precision radial velocity (RV) observations made with a dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrograph, or dFTS, a new instrument that combines interferometric and dispersive elements. For some of the double-lined binaries with known ...
Low-light-level telescopic imaging observations of the night sky were made with the 0.9-meter and 1.8-meter Spacewatch Telescopes on Kitt Peak mountain in the Tohono Oodham Nation, Arizona. Small bodies in the solar system were discovered and followed to improve knowledge of their orbits and analyze the distribution of their absolute magnitudes. During this grant interval, a total of 6,620 positional measurements of 1,352 Earth-approaching Asteroids (EAs) were made, 200 of ...
