Data on 70 Virginis

(HR 5072, G4V)
(2000 Coordinates: RA= 13 28 25.7, Dec= +13 46 43)



70 Vir velocities phased with the orbital fit for a period P=116.7 days. The residuals to the orbital fit have an RMS of 7.8m/s. Error bars are smaller than the points. The derived minimum companion mass is: M sin i = 6.5 M jup.
