A survey of stellar families: multiplicity of solar-type stars

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.
