Description
List of 1966 radial velocity measurements of stars in globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) taken with the ARGUS multi-object spectrometer at the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope. All the stars have a B magnitude brighter than 16.5. The median error is less than 2km/s. The stars are numbered using their LID (Leiden Identification Number) from van Leeuwen et.al. (2000, Cat. <J/A+A/360/472>). In a companion paper by van de Ven et al. (2006A&A...445..513V), we correct these radial velocities for the perspective rotation caused by the space motion of the cluster. Additionaly 339 stars where measured. These consist of (i) 87 stars with B-V<0.4, (ii) 252 stars not in the van Leeuwen et al. catalog. We suspect that that many of these stars have an erroneous value for their radial velocity.
