We resolved for the first time 90 new pairs or subsystems in known binaries. This work continues our long-term speckle program. Its main goal is to monitor orbital motion of close binaries, including members of high-order hierarchies and Hipparcos pairs in the solar neighborhood. We give a list of 127 orbits computed using our latest measurements. Their quality varies from excellent (25 orbits of grades 1 and 2) to provisional (47 orbits of grades 4 and 5).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-09T12:57:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "speckle interferometry", "speckle interferometric observations", "long-term speckle program", "monitor orbital motion", "measurements" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
