Speckle Interferometry at the US Naval Observatory. VIII.
Abstract
The results of 2044 speckle interferometric observations of double stars, made with the 26 inch (66 cm) refractor of the US Naval Observatory, are presented. Each speckle interferometric observation of a system represents a combination of over a thousand short-exposure images. These observations are averaged into 1399 mean positions and range in separation from 0.16" to 14.97", with a mean separation of 2.51". This is the eighth in a series of papers presenting measures obtained with this system and covers the period 2001 March 18 through 2001 December 30.
