J/A+A/442/365 Astrometric orbits of SB9 stars (Jancart+, 2005) ================================================================================ Astrometric orbits of SB9 stars. Jancart S., Jorissen A., Babusiaux C., Pourbaix D. =2005A&A...442..365J ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Binaries, spectroscopic ; Binaries, orbits Keywords: astrometry - stars: binaries: spectroscopic - stars: fundamental parameters Abstract: Hipparcos Intermediate Astrometric Data (IAD) have been used to derive astrometric orbital elements for spectroscopic binaries from the newly released Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (S_B^9^_). This endeavour is justified by the fact that (i) the astrometric orbital motion is often difficult to detect without the prior knowledge of the spectroscopic orbital elements, and (ii) such knowledge was not available at the time of the construction of the Hipparcos Catalogue for the spectroscopic binaries which were recently added to the S_B^9^_ catalogue. Among the 1374 binaries from S_B^9^_ which have an HIP entry (excluding binaries with visual companions, or DMSA/C in the Double and Multiple Stars Annex), 282 have detectable orbital astrometric motion (at the 5% significance level). Among those, only 70 have astrometric orbital elements that are reliably determined (according to specific statistical tests), and for the first time for 20 systems. This represents a 8.5% increase of the number of astrometric systems with known orbital elements (The Double and Multiple Systems Annex contains 235 of those DMSA/O systems).
