Deepak Raghavan,Harold A. McAlister,Todd J. Henry,David W. Latham,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Brian D. Mason,Douglas R. Gies,Russel White,T. ten Brummelaar +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a comprehensive assessment of companions to solar-type stars, including the Sun, from the Hipparcos catalog with {pi}>40 mas, {sigma}{sub {pi/{pi}} < 0.05, 0.5 {<=} B - V {< =} 1.0 ({approx}F6-K3), and constrained by absolute magnitude and color to exclude evolved stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2001 US Naval Observatory Double Star CD-ROM. I. The Washington Double Star Catalog
TL;DR: The Washington Double Star Catalog (WDS) as mentioned in this paper contains positions, discoverer designations, epochs, position angles, separations, magnitudes, spectral types, proper motions, and, when available, Durchmusterung numbers and notes for the components of 84,486 systems based on 563,326 means.
Journal ArticleDOI
ICCD Speckle Observations of Binary Stars. XIX. An Astrometric/Spectroscopic Survey of O Stars
Brian D. Mason,Douglas R. Gies,William I. Hartkopf,William G. Bagnuolo,T. ten Brummelaar,T. ten Brummelaar,T. ten Brummelaar,Harold A. McAlister +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a speckle interferometric survey made with the CHARA camera and 4 m-class telescopes of Galactic O-type stars with V 59% have a visual or spectroscopic companion, but less so among field and especially runaway stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
The High Angular Resolution Multiplicity of Massive Stars
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a speckle interferometric survey of the Galactic massive stars were presented, which complements and expands upon a similar survey made over a decade ago, and they are sensitive to the detection of binaries in the angular separation regime between 0"03 and 5" with relatively bright companions (deltaV < 3).
Journal ArticleDOI
The 2001 US Naval Observatory Double Star CD-ROM. II. The Fifth Catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars
TL;DR: The Fifth catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars as mentioned in this paper contains 1465 orbits of 1430 visual binary stars from the 1930s to the 1980s, with the same grading scheme as in earlier catalogs, although the grading scheme was modified to be more objective.
