Abstract

Results of the speckle-interferometry observations at the 4.1 m SOuthern Astrophysical Research Telescope obtained during 2022 are presented: 2508 measurements of 1925 resolved pairs or subsystems and 785 nonresolutions of 611 targets; 26 pairs are resolved here for the first time. This work continues our long-term effort to monitor orbital motion in close binaries and hierarchical systems. A large number of orbits have been updated using these measurements.
