Speckle interferometry of nearby multiple stars. II.

This paper is a continuation of diffraction-limited speckle interferometry of binary and multiple stars carried out at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Zelenchuk. The program has concentrated on nearby (pi > 10 mas) close binaries discovered or measured during the Hipparcos mission. Here, we present 132 measurements of relative positions and magnitude differences for 99 pairs and 8 measurements for 6 triple systems. 54 entries in the paper are new Hipparcos binaries. New triple systems with late-type dwarf components, discovered in the course of observations, are HIP 8533 and HIP 25354.
