Photometry & interferometry of nearby secondaries

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

To improve the statistics of hierarchical multiplicity, secondary components of wide nearby binaries with solar-type primaries were surveyed at the SOAR telescope for evaluating the frequency of subsystems.

Description

Images of 17 faint secondaries were obtained with the SOAR Adaptive Module that improved the seeing; one new 0.2'' binary was detected. For all targets, photometry in the g', i', z' bands is given.

Another 46 secondaries were observed by speckle interferometry, resolving 7 close subsystems. Adding literature data, the binarity of 95 secondary components is evaluated. We found that the detection-corrected frequency of secondary subsystems with periods in the well-surveyed range from 10^3^ to 10^5^ days is 0.21+/-0.06--same as the normal frequency of such binaries among solar-type stars, 0.18.

This indicates that wide binaries are unlikely to be produced by dynamical evolution of N-body systems, but are rather formed by fragmentation.
