Observations confirm spectroscopic binaries and analyze their orbits, indicating various orbital characteristics.
We confirmed four spectroscopic binary candidates using new observations obtained with SALT. Three SB2 systems (HD 20784, HD 43519A, HD 62153A) exhibit circular orbits with periods shorter than 10 days, whereas one hierarchical triple system (HD 56024) contains a close binary with an inner eccentric orbit with a period of approximately 14 days, composed of nearly identical stellar components, and a rapidly rotating star on an outer eccentric orbit with a period of approximately 400 days. For two additional SB2 candidates (HD 198174 and HD 208433), our new observations do not allow us to derive reliable orbital solutions.
