Hidden Binaries in Star-forming Regions

A significant fraction of, and possibly all, stars form in binary or multiple systems. For solar-mass stars in the Galactic field, the distribution of orbital separations is log-normal over 7 orders of magnitude, from 10 ^−2  to 10 ^5 au. In contrast, the separation distributions of systems in nearb...
