We report the discovery of a very low mass binary system (primary mass <0.1 Msol) with a projected separation of ~5100 AU, more than twice that of the widest previously known system. A spectrum covering the 1-2.5 microns wavelength interval…
The orbits of five single-lined spectroscopic binaries have recently been determined. We now use astrometric measurements that were collected with the Hipparcos satellite to constrain the systems' mass ratios and secondary masses. The…
A careful investigation of a CCD spectrum of the SB1 system kappa Cnc in the spectral region 3800 A - 8000 A resulted in the discovery of the lines of the secondary star. We then analyzed several short-wavelength range Reticon spectra…
We have analyzed photometric and spectroscopic data of a sample of 14 spatially resolved pre-main-sequence binaries (separations 0.6" to 1.7") in the nearby (150 pc) low-mass star-forming regions of Chamaeleon, Lupus, and rho Ophiuchi. The…
