Scientific paper

We present results from the simultaneous radial velocity and line profile monitoring of cool giant stars. Spectroscopic observations with resolving power of R = 100,000 were made using the University of Western Ontario's Elginfield Observatory. The radial-velocity measurements use telluric lines within the spectrograph as a reference against which the stellar spectra are compared. Our technique avoids contamination of the observed stellar spectrum by the reference spectrum, a commonly encountered problem in precision radialvelocity measurements. We are then able to measure line-depth ratios and other spectroscopic parameters of interest in concert with the radial-velocity measurements. This approach is useful for studies of pulsation, granulation variations, surface features, magnetic cycles, non-radial oscillations, and orbital motion arising from extra-solar planets or binary-star companions.
