\subsection{Comparison with TODCOR}\label{todcor}
To confirm that the BF-extracted radial velocities are accurate, we also use TODCOR \citep{zuc94} to extract radial velocities for the TRES spectra. TODCOR, which stands for two-dimensional cross-correlation, uses a template spectrum from a library with a narrow spectral range (5050--5350 \AA) to make a two-component radial velocity curve for spectroscopic binaries. It is commonly used with TRES spectra for eclipsing binary studies. From the radial velocity curve, TODCOR subsequently calculates an orbital solution. We use the full TODCOR RV extractor + orbital solution calculator for the TRES spectra, and compare this with the TODCOR orbital solution calculator for the combined ARCES, TRES, and APOGEE RV points which were extracted with the BF technique. We find that the two orbital solutions are in excellent agreement. The TODCOR RVs (available for TRES spectra only) are on average $0.22 \pm 0.25 \ \rm{km \ s}^{-1}$ systematically lower than the BF RVs, which we attribute to a physically unimportant difference in RV zeropoint.
