Contribution to the search for binaries among Am stars - VII. Orbital elements of seven new spectroscopic binaries, implications on tidal effects
We present the results of a radial-velocity study of seven Am stars (HD3970, 35035, 93946, 151746, 153286, 204751 and 224002) observed at theObservatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP) and the Cambridge Observatorieswith CORAVEL instruments. We find that these systems are single-linedspectroscopic binaries whose orbital elements are determined for thefirst time. Among this sample, HD 35035 and 153286 have long periods,with P = 2.8 and 9.5yr, respectively, which is rather unusual for Amstars. Four systems have orbits with large eccentricities (with e >=0.4). Physical parameters are inferred from this study for the primariesof those systems.We then investigate the influence of tidal interaction, which hasalready led to the synchronism of the primaries and/or to thecircularization of the orbits of some systems belonging to this sample.We extend this study to the list of 33 objects studied in this series ofpapers and derive values of the critical fractional radii r = R/a forcircularization and synchronization of Am-type binaries. We find thatthe stars with r >~ 0.15 are orbiting on circular orbits and thatsynchronism is likely for all components with r >~ 0.20.

Radial velocities. Measurements of 2800 B2-F5 stars for HIPPARCOS
Radial velocities have been determined for a sample of 2930 B2-F5 stars,95% observed by the Hipparcos satellite in the north hemisphere and 80%without reliable radial velocity up to now. Observations were obtainedat the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80Ä,mm(-1) with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics.Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates ofthe same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s(-1)with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimatedfor all stars. Based on observations made at the Haute ProvenceObservatory, France and on data from The Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA.Tables 4, 5 and 6 are only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.htm

Mesures de vitesses radiales. VIII. Accompagnement AU sol DU programme d'observation DU satellite HIPPARCOS
We publish 1879 radial velocities of stars distributed in 105 fields of4^{\circ} \times 4^{\circ}. We continue the PPO series \cite[(Fehrenbachet al. 1987;]{Feh87} \cite[Duflot et al. 1990, 1992 and 1995),]{Du90}using the Fehrenbach objective prism method.

Lists of photometric AM candidates
The Geneva photometric m parameter (Nicolet and Cramer, 1982) is used inorder to select Am photometric candidates from the Rufener (1981)catalogue. Two lists are given, the first containing field stars and thesecond cluster stars. According to the photometric criteria thediffusion process probably responsible for the Am phenomenon takes placerather quickly as Am candidates are present in young clusters. It isconfirmed that the phenomenon is enhanced by low rotational velocity andhigh metallicity. The age seems to slightly affect the Am phenomenon.
