RV variability in NGC 2516 and NGC 2422

We determine stellar properties including radial velocity (RV), Teff, [Fe/H], [{alpha}/Fe], and the line-of-sight rotation rate, v_r_sin(i), from these spectra. Our median RV precision of 80m/s on individual epochs that span a temporal baseline of 1.1yr enables us to investigate membership, stellar binarity, and search for sub-stellar companions.

We determine membership probabilities and RV variability probabilities for our sample along with candidate companion orbital periods for a select subset of stars. We identify 81 RV members in NGC 2516, 27 spectroscopic binaries (17 previously identified as photometric binaries), and 16 other stars that show significant RV variability after accounting for average stellar jitter found to be at the 74m/s level. In NGC 2422 we identify 57 members, 11 spectroscopic binaries, and 3 other stars that show significant RV variability after accounting for an average jitter of 138m/s.
