Commission 30 has 120 members in 28 countries who are active in the area of radial velocities. During the past triennium 11 new members have joined the commission. The work of the commission covers a wide range of topics all of which concern the application of the Doppler effect to astronomical objects, including galaxies and the interstellar medium as well as stars, and in all wavelength ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. Although the commission focuses mainly on stellar and galaxy radial velocities, it is noted that stellar rotation, spectroscopic binaries, extrasolar planet searches, pulsating variable stars, asteroseismology and turbulence in stellar atmospheres are also included.
