Orbital elements of five close visual binary stars

Revised orbital elements of the visual binary stars STT 2, STT 4, BU 1015, STT 6 and BU 395 are given. Dynamical parallaxes and total masses of the systems have been calculated.

Orbital elements of six visual binary stars

Revised orbital elements of the visual binary stars STT 515, BU 4 AB, STF 183 AB, A 207, STT 43 and A 2413 are given. Dynamical parallaxes and total masses of the systems have been calculated.

The orbit of the visual binary ADS 8630

Using the 35 speckle measurements performed with PISCO in Merate between 2004 and 2006, and some complementary new astrometric measures, we present a new orbit for the visual binary ADS 8630 = γ Vir. This new series of measurements was essential for constraining the 169 yearperiod orbit since it covers an arc of 130◦ in the apparent orbit and includes the periastron passage of 2005.
