Abstract

We present a new method for the detection of double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) using vsiniv\sin{i} values from spectral fits. The method is tested on synthetic and real spectra from LAMOST-MRS. It can reliably detect SB2 candidates for double-lined binaries with vsini1+vsini2<300kms1v\sin{i}_1+v\sin{i}_2<300\,km\,s^{-1} if the radial velocity separation is large enough. Using this method, we detect 2460 SB2 candidates, 1410 of which are new discoveries. We confirm the correlation between the radial velocity separation estimated by the binary model and vsini0v\sin{i}_0 estimated by the single star model using the selected sample. Additionally, our method finds one new SB2 candidate in open cluster M~11.
