Description:
    The catalogue contains radial 1365 individual measurements of radial
    velocities of 200 dwarf stars within 25 parsecs from the Sun, mostly
    of spectral types K and M. They were measured in 1986-1985 with
    correlation spectrometer. The typical accuracy is 0.3-0.8km/s. The
    average parameters of correlation dip (equivalent width and FWHM) are
    also given and may be used to estimate axial rotation and metallicity.
