Up: Micrometer measurements of double Compostela
The 458 micrometer measurements are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1
includes 179 observations of 102 stars performed at Calar Alto Observatory
and Table 2 includes 279 observations of 102 stars at Ramón María Aller
Observatory. The results are presented in the same format in both Tables:
each binary is identified by its WDS catalogue number
(Worley & Douglass 1996), followed by the star's name and its ADS catalogue number
(Aitken 1932) if any. Letters denote the components in the case of the multiple
star systems. Subsequent columns represent the observation epoch, the
position angle, the angular separation together with the number of nights
on which the star was observed.
In no case did the measurements averaged differ by more than
for
position angles. For angular separation, the estimated error varies from
10% for the very close pairs to less than 1% for the very wide ones.
