Scientific paper

We report on measurements of position angle and separation of physical binary systems. Many such systems, characterized as "neglected binaries" by the Washington Double Star Catalog of the USNO, are included in our sample lists, some ignored for more than 100 years. The data reported here was acquired at the 31 inch NURO telescope near Flagstaff, AZ. We have found that many stars listed as neglected seem to show no change in separation and position angle for many years, suggesting that they are not physical binaries. We thank the Puerto Rico Space Grant Consortium and the Humacao Campus MARC programs for their support of this project.
