This grant will support the use of the high precision radial                    velocity spectrometer at the E.W. Fick Observatory in Iowa to                   continue and complete three projects involving radial velocity                  measurements of F, G, and K type stars: (1) Monitoring of radial                velocity variations for a list of binary star systems with                      orbital periods between 1 and 20 years; (2) a distance-limited                  sample of all F, G, and early K stars within 25 parsecs of the                  Sun; and (3) a survey complete to 9th magnitude in a band around                30 degrees declination.                                                                                                                                         High precision radial velocity measurements are needed (a) to                   improve our knowledge of the frequency of binarity among stars;                 (b) to determine the orbital parameters of binary stars which                   leads to improved determinations of the stellar masses; and (c)                 for use in stellar motion studies, including the distances of                   nearby clusters, the determination of membership in clusters or                 moving groups, verification of wide binary pairs, improved                      determination of the solar motion and the local standard of rest,               and statistical parallaxes.  Since major projects underway                      elsewhere are expected to yield high precision astrometric data                 over the next five years, the collection of new, high precision                 radial velocities is both necessary and timely.
