Radial velocities of Gl586A compared with our newly computed orbit. The panels show the radial velocities versus HJD (top) and orbital phase (middle). The residuals for both components are shown in the two bottom panels. STELLA data are filled circles for the primary, star Aa, and open circles for the secondary, star Ab. The inset enlarges the time of periastron and additionally shows two ELODIE points (squares) and some CORAVEL points (crosses). Note that these data were used for the SB1 solution, but not for the SB2 solution. The lines are the elements from Table 2. The horizontal dashed line is the systemic velocity.
