Descripción
We report preliminary results of a long-term radial-velocity search for
companions of nearby M-dwarf stars with the two CORAVEL spectrographs in
both hemispheres. Although not complete yet this survey is already
drastically improving the amount of data available for M-dwarf
spectroscopic binaries by providing a first set of orbital elements for
31 binaries among which 23 were previously unknown. In this
contribution, we will focus on the (e, log{P}) diagram, less sensitive
to incompleteness effects, combining the CORAVEL results with data taken
from the literature.
