ABSTRACT. We present observational radial velocity curves for
12 chromospherically active binary systems and individual measurements
for a further 5 systems. These binaries are LX Per, V471 Tau, EI Eri,
OU Gem, GK Hya, TY Pyx, Z Her, MM Her, V772 Her, ER Vul, BD-004234, MY
Cyg, AR Lac, KZ And, RT And, SZ Psc and EZ Peg. Six of our target
binaries do not agree with published ephemerides or orbital
parameters. We also present a rigourous derivation of the resolution
limit for binary star cross-correlation radial velocities. Using
synthetic spectral data we investigate the errors induced by
rotational broadening, signal-to-noise ratio, spectral-type mismatch
and luminosity ratio.
