Scientific paper

GJ 372 was recently found to be a spectroscopic binary (Upgren, A.R. and Harlow, J.J.B. 1996, PASP 108, 64). It has an orbital period of 48 days and radial velocity semi-amplitudes of 31 km\ s(-1) for the primary and 39 km\ s(-1) for the secondary. The radial velocity curves of both components of GL372AB are presented for the first time. The mass ratio of the two components is measured to be 1.28 +/- 0.04. The flux ratio at 5300{ Angstroms} of 2.39 +/- 0.71 implies a spectral class difference of 1+/-0.3 subclasses. Photometry and parallax measurements from the literature suggest a spectral class for the primary of M1.5V +/- 1 subclass, and a corresponding range for the secondary of M2.5V +/- 1 subclass.
