Impact of Binary Stars on Planet Statistics -- I. Planet Occurrence Rates, Trends with Stellar Mass, and Wide Companions to Hot Jupiter Hosts
Maxwell Moe, Kaitlin M. Kratter
Close binaries suppress the formation of circumstellar (S-type) planets and therefore significantly bias the inferred planet occurrence rates and statistical trends. After compilin…
Formation of close binaries by disc fragmentation and migration, and its statistical modeling
Andrei Tokovinin, Maxwell Moe
Joint statistics of periods and mass ratios of close binaries and its dependence on primary mass can be explained by assuming that seed binary companions are formed by disc fragmen…
Searches After Gravitational-waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO): System Overview and First Results from Advanced LIGO/Virgo's Third Observing Run
M. J. Lundquist, K. Paterson, W. Fong +53
We present Searches After Gravitational-waves Using ARizona Observatories (SAGUARO), a comprehensive effort dedicated to the discovery and characterization of optical counterparts…
Discovery of an equal-mass "twin" binary population reaching 1000+ AU separations
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Haijun Tian +2
We use a homogeneous catalog of 42,000 main-sequence wide binaries identified by Gaia to measure the mass ratio distribution, p(q), of binaries with primary masses $0.1<M_1/M_{\odo…
Close companions around young stars
Marina Kounkel, Kevin Covey, Maxwell Moe +26
Multiplicity is a fundamental property that is set early during stellar lifetimes, and it is a stringent probe of the physics of star formation. The distribution of close companion…
Stellar multiplicity: an interdisciplinary nexus
Katelyn Breivik, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Daniel J. D'Orazio +5
Our uncertainties about binary star systems (and triples and so on) limit our capabilities in literally every single one of the Thematic Areas identified for Astro2020. We need to…
