We study very high resolution (λ /Δ λ ≈ 200,000), high S/N (350 - 550) echelle spectra of five G to early K type stars (β Com, ɛ Eri, 61 UMa, 59 Vir, and ξ Boo A) and construct bisectors for ~30 unblended Fe I absorption lines in each. We collate the bisectors into subgroups based upon absorption line depth and excitation potential, calculate many statistical measures of the bisector position and shape, and average these measurements over the subgroups. We then search for relationships between the averaged bisector properties and various stellar properties, such as temperature, activity and v\ sin\ i; several significant trends are found. We investigate how the bisectors change over time with relation to stellar properties in an effort to find trends between the bisector properties, stellar magnetic surface features, and apparent radial velocity (vr). Such correlations would allow for the correction of some of the scatter in measurements of the vr, permitting easier detection of sub-jovian exoplanets. We find changes in certain bisector measures to be well correlated with vr changes. This work was supported by National Science Foundation grant AST-9731652.
