Abstract:
The Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits continues the
series of compilations of spectroscopic orbits carried out over the
past 35 years by Batten and collaborators (see e.g. Cat. V/64).
The catalogue is continuously updated, see http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be/
This version is dated 02-May-2011. Previous versions may be found in
subdirectories "v00" (April 2005), "v01" (September 2005), etc...

Note (1): the symbol '>' indicates that the error is large
(larger than the value); the symbol 'a' indicates that the
value was not computed, but assumed.
Note (2): a non-zero value indicates that T0 does not correspond to the
periastron epoch, but to some other phenomena (e.g. eclipse)
