Speckle Interferometry at SOAR in 2015
Abstract
The results of speckle interferometric observations at the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope in 2015 are provided, totaling 1303 measurements of 924 resolved binary and multiple stars, and non-resolutions of 260 targets. The separations range from 12 mas to 3.″37 (median 0.″17) the maximum measured magnitude difference is 6.7 mag. We resolved 27 pairs for the first time, including 10 as inner or outer subsystems in previously known binaries, e.g., the 50 mas pair in ɛ Cha. Newly resolved pairs are commented upon. We discuss three apparently non-hierarchical systems that have been discovered in this series, arguing that their unusual configurations are the result of projection. The resolved quadruple system HIP 71510 is also studied.
