Statistical properties of visual binaries as tracers of the formation of young stellar clusters
G. Duchene, J. Bouvier, J. Eisloffel +1
In this review, we summarize the observed statistical properties of visual binaries in various young stellar clusters. The binary frequency, orbital period distribution and mass ra…

Circumbinary disks around T Tauri stars: HST/NICMOS near-infrared images and polarimetric maps
G. Duchene, J. Silber, F. Menard +1
We have obtained new near-infrared images of both GG Tau and UY Aur circumbinary disks with the polarimetric modes of NICMOS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The 1 micron intensi…

Low-mass binaries in the young cluster IC 348: implications for binary formation and evolution
Gaspard Duchene, Jerome Bouvier, Theodore Simon
We report on a near-infrared adaptive optics survey of a sample of 66 low-mass members of the pre-main sequence stellar cluster IC 348. We find 12 binary systems in the separation…
