ADC_Keywords: Stars, double and multiple ; Binaries, orbits Keywords: binaries: general - binaries: visual - stars: fundamental parameters Abstract: Orbital elements of 18 visual binaries are computed using the measurements collected in the Fourth Catalog of Interferometric Measurements of Binary Stars; 15 orbits are determined for the first time and three orbits are revised. Eleven of the binaries, denoted as HDS, were discovered during the Hipparcos mission. The remaining binaries were discovered a few years earlier or later than 1991. All studied pairs are close, and all measured separations are less than 0.46". The shortest orbital period is 10 years and the longest orbital period is 127 years. Dynamical parallaxes and total masses of systems are derived from the orbital elements. We also give absolute magnitudes, spectral types, and (O-C) residuals in θ and ρ. Description: In our earlier papers (Cvetkovic et al. 2014AJ....147...62C 2014AJ....147...62C, 2016AJ....151...83C 2016AJ....151...83C), new orbital elements for 16 HDS stars were presented. In this paper, 11 out of the 18 considered binaries are also HDS. In addition to Hipparcos measurement, later measurements of these binaries were performed by using the speckle interferometric technique. They are available in the Fourth Catalog of Interferometric Measurements of Binary Stars (INT4; http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astrometry/optical-IR-prod/wds/int4). The orbital elements for 15 binaries are determined for the first time. For three binaries, HDS 23Da,Db, HDS 93, and CHR 187, the orbits were previously determined, but the additional measurements yield significant residuals, so we recalculated them and now present them in this paper. The orbital elements are calculated by applying the Koval'skij-Olevic method (Olevic & Cvetkovic 2004A&A...415..259O 2004A&A...415..259O), and observations are assigned the corresponding weights according to the proposal given in Hartkopf et al. (1989AJ.....98.1014H 1989AJ.....98.1014H, 2001AJ....122.3472H 2001AJ....122.3472H).
