Radial velocities - IX. 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 obtained at the Observatoire de Haute Provence with a dispersion of 80 A mm -1 with the aim of studying stellar and galactic dynamics. Radial velocities have been measured by correlation with templates of the same spectral class. The mean obtained precision is 3.0 km s -1 with three observations. A new MK spectral classification is estimated for all stars.
