Binary Star Research During the First Six Years of Operation of the HERMES Spectrograph at the 1.2 Mercator Telescope
Instituut voor Sterrenkunde, KU Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200D, Belgium
The HERMES/Mercator combination provides a niche in observational astrophysics as it allows to build up yearlong time-series of high-resolution optical spectra with appropriate sampling. In name of the HERMES consortium, I introduce the main characteristics of our spectrograph and operational model. Rather than reviewing all results, I highlight with a few example only some of the results obtained during the first six years of operations.
