TLDR
The epochs of 372 speckle observations obtained with the 4m Mayall telescope at KPNO during 1975-77 are given for 156 unresolved visual, astrometric, spectrum, occultation, and spectroscopic binary stars as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
The epochs of 372 speckle observations obtained with the 4-m Mayall telescope at KPNO during 1975-77 are given for 156 unresolved visual, astrometric, spectrum, occultation, and spectroscopic binary stars. Specified thresholds are set for detectible angular separations and magnitude differences so that the negative observations presented here can be used to place constraints on orbital parameters.

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.

Two Suns in The Sky: Stellar Multiplicity in Exoplanet Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of a reconnaissance for stellar companions to all 131 radial velocity-detected candidate extrasolar planetary systems known as of 2005 July 1, and confirm that a lower limit of 30 (23%) of the 131 exoplanet systems have stellar companions.
