Variation of the radial velocity of Epsilon Cygni AThe paper reports a series of 217 measurements of the radial velocity of Epsilon Cygni A made between May 16, 1987 and May 17, 1991 with an uncertainty per observation of +/- 12 m/s. The results indicate a sustained drift of -60 m/s yr. Lower limits on the companion's mass are presented as functions of period and primary mass. The companion is probably more massive than a planet.
