ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular; Radial velocities

Description:
    Velocities are given for 303 giant stars in the globular clusters
    M3, M13, M15, and M92 from spectra obtained with the 3.5-m WIYN
    Telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory using the Hydra
    multi-fiber positioner and bench spectrograph.  The tables provide
    the individual identifications, HJD, and velocity for each star
    observed.  The uncertainties in the velocity measurements are
    typically 1 km s^-1 or less.
