Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. II. Reconstruction of Sample Probability Density of True Orbit Sizes

Wide binary stars are important for testing alternative models of gravitation in the weak-field regime and understanding the statistical outcomes of dynamical interactions in the general Galactic field. The Gaia mission’s collection of weakly bound pairs of stars offers a unique opportunity to estim...
