ABSTRACT. Radial-velocity curves are presented for the RR Lyrae stars VI and V3 in the lowmetallicity globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341) and V8 and V28 in the intermediate-metallicity globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) based on between 50 and 90 observations per star. The radial velocities were derived by cross-correlating spectra obtained with the Multiple Mirror Telescope echelle spectrograph with synthetic templates calculated using Kurucz's model atmospheres (ATLAS8) and synthetic spectrum (SYNTHE) codes. The synthetic templates provide a better match to the observed spectra than the available observed templates, especially for the metal-poor stars, resulting in high-precision radialvelocities good to a few km s -1 in most cases. We find systemic velocities of -125.4, -122.6, +48.7, and +53.6 km s -1 for M92-V1, M92-V3, M5-V8, and M5-V28, respectively, in good agreement with previous determinations of cluster mean velocities.
