Eccentricities of Close Stellar Binaries
Orbits of stellar binaries are in general eccentric. These eccentricities encode information about their early lives. Here, we use thousands of main-sequence binaries from the Gaia DR3 catalog to reveal that binaries inward of a few astronomical units exhibit a simple Rayleigh distribution with a mo...
