This work continues our long-term effort to monitor orbital motion in close binaries and hierarchical systems. A large number (147) of orbits have been determined for the first time or updated using these measurements. Complementarity of this program with the Gaia mission is highlighted.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-16T13:05:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "speckle interferometry", "first time", "monitor orbital motion", "speckle-interferometry observations", "close binaries" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
