Astrometric Orbits for Hipparcos Stochastic Binaries
Taking advantage of an improved genetic optimization algorithm forfitting unconstrained Kepler orbits to the Hipparcos intermediateastrometric data, we obtain additional orbital solutions for 81Hipparcos stars with previous stochastic (failed) solutions. The sampleincludes astrophysically interesting objects, including the old diskwide binary HIP 754, the nearby AGB star HIP 34922 (L2 Pup),and the nearby M2 dwarf HIP 5496 (GJ 54, at 8 pc from the Sun), whichhas a resolved M dwarf companion.

Contributions to the Nearby Stars (NStars) Project: Spectroscopy of Stars Earlier than M0 within 40 pc-The Southern Sample
We are obtaining spectra, spectral types, and basic physical parametersfor the nearly 3600 dwarf and giant stars earlier than M0 in theHipparcos catalog within 40 pc of the Sun. Here we report on resultsfor 1676 stars in the southern hemisphere observed at Cerro TololoInter-American Observatory and Steward Observatory. These resultsinclude new, precise, homogeneous spectral types, basic physicalparameters (including the effective temperature, surface gravity, andmetallicity [M/H]), and measures of the chromospheric activity of ourprogram stars. We include notes on astrophysically interesting stars inthis sample, the metallicity distribution of the solar neighborhood, anda table of solar analogs. We also demonstrate that the bimodal nature ofthe distribution of the chromospheric activity parameterlogR'HK depends strongly on the metallicity, andwe explore the nature of the ``low-metallicity'' chromosphericallyactive K-type dwarfs.
